Turns out it wasn't the NT Factor causing my trouble. Too simple, perhaps?
After deciding late last night to go off this supplement again, I find myself lying in bed once more, 24 hrs later, with yet another pitch red, burning hot face and a headache/gross feeling to match. My throat burns when I swallow. And I have absolutely zero idea as to why.
I've had this happen in the past. A lot. My memory isn't great, but I seem to recall the burning up, fevered face look as a daily occurrence at least for the full first year of treatment. I got used to it. You have to get used to all the crazy symptoms, pretend that they are just normal in their own special way, and get on with whatever you are doing. Which of course is probably mostly just lying in bed trying hard to get through and survive this insane and horrid experience.
But it's just an experience. It too will pass. Someday.
I hope and keep the faith that it really will. And if it doesn't, maybe I can manage that too. I have somehow managed this far.
So I don't know why this is happening again now. And I don't need to. I have come to the point where I am okay with not knowing all the answers. If I happen upon a good guess I will follow through and see what happens. But I no longer go crazy with not knowing. I lie down when my body asks me to rest. And get up again either when I must, or when my body lets me know it is time.
I am so grateful to be in a place, finally, finally, finally, where I am usually okay with not knowing. Peace.
