Chapter 129: Metabolic Reset

Though it took some time, I've finally come up with a potent solution to my headache situation. Of course, it does involve some goofy configuration of existing medications. I'll just say this off to start: don't ever try this at home, and don't ever experiment with painkillers without medical advice. I only did so myself because I can be one crazy son of a bitch.

It's hard to express how amazing I feel right now! Not only have I been pain free for the fifth day in a row now, but I've also been getting a massive uncalled for confidence boost, which I'm sure is from this medication. I've accomplish about six weeks' worth of tasks in this one week alone from all the energy I have now. This is because I figured out a secret solution by pure accident.

It started weeks back, shortly after I broke down in front of Lumina about my medicine failing to work any further. I concluded that my body and metabolism process build up a full tolerance, an immunity to the same medication I needed to do well. So, I made the decision to dump the pills and pray for mercy.

The first aspect I didn't expect was how difficult of a task that proved to be. Tension Headache on its own isn't supposed to be an addictive substance, but I've been taking it daily for more than a year, and the caffeine inside those pills contributes in its own way. As a result, there are bound to be some seriously powerful withdraw symptoms. The withdraw factor includes a severe level of mental fog, slowed thoughts, and of course, powerful rebound headaches. I expected this full withdraw to reach a conclusion in about a week of time, but my predictions were unfortunately wrong.

The withdraw was much worse than I could have anticipated, and by day seven, it was at its absolute worst, to the point where I wanted to end things from the pain factor alone. Of course, that was my clear sign right there that I needed to make the emergency decision to go right back on the substance. Sad as it was, I wasn't going to put myself through that kind of danger. Turns out this kind of attachment is more of a thirty day withdraw than a seven day withdraw.

It's ultra-bad news for several reasons. For one, I can't undergo a thirty day withdraw when the pain and discomfort reaches suicide levels, not without some kind of special care or a facility, which I cannot afford anyway. In retrospect, I failed. I failed to detoxify myself from this cursed red delight. I know how important it is that I make sure not to keep taking something that I've built a 100% tolerance to.

However, it was from this very same discovery that something unique and unexpected came my direction. The day after I put myself back onto the medication, that's when all of the positives were overdrawn again. Even though it hasn't happened to me in more than a year, the next dose pumped me full of life and energy, of confidence and totally pain free moments. My thoughts were accelerated beyond what they normally would be, yet I was able to handle all of it, maximizing my production, making me happy again. I thought it was a fluke at first, but the second day later, it happened again, then again, and the next time after that.

I had to perform weeks of experimenting to discover both what was happening and how to keep the process going. In essence, I was undergoing what few people know as a full metabolic memory reset. By having taken myself off the medicine for several days in a row, only to go back on it later, my metabolism and even my very own pain receptors were able to reset in such a way where the tolerance I built up to the medicine was just totally gone!

When I took tension headache for the first time, I felt all of the same positive side effects from it that I was feeling now, at the very same first-level intensity, all because the tolerance level then was at zero. My only conclusion was that I had reset my tolerance to the drug back down to zero. Of course, after enough days, the positive effects, including pain killing by means of prevention started to dwindle much faster. So, I came up with a new experimental process called metabolic reset.
