Neurotransmitter seminar

So far this Apex seminar is awesome. It is answering so many of my questions! Perhaps it is lighting me up because I have been actively studying this material for some time now. Lots is familiar, but then when something new is explained it has a structure to fit into, and builds my body of knowledge....feels so good. I finally have a good idea what my protocol will be for getting people off benzos while also treating their anxiety. I finally understand the mechanisms behind gluten's impact on the brains of some people, and which people are more likely to experience this. It's all fascinating. My energy level is high. I seem to finally be kicking my nasty disease. Thank goodness.

School: it is quickly becoming apparent that I have way too many classes this term. I wish I could put some of them off. I'm going to look into the possibility of splitting this load in half and staying another term. I want to study this material thoroughly, not push through it for a grade and remember nothing! I have genetics, oncology, urology, proctology, neurology, endocrinology and ground rounds in addition to my 3 shifts. Most these subjects would fill an entire term (or many) if done properly. Attempting to cover all of them in one term is insane. Madness. Who needs it.

Sounds like a great seminar and I think it is a grand idea to split your load. It it too much. Lots of very important stuff to study and know well. I hope you can find a way to support this. I certainly wish it for you. So glad you are finally feeling your energy back and the dis-ease on it's way out.

Yikes. That does sound like WAY too much of a class load.

I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the seminar! It makes it worth the extra effort when you can walk away with new, valuable knowledge.

The sad thing is that all these classes are destined to be superficial overview classes, and I so want to dig deep. Argh.

As for the seminar, I got lots of useful ideas and I actually am going to try some products from the neutraceutical company that put it on.
