In case you were wondering what the title means. It means Phase, treatment 4, day 53. It is code that Ryan suggested. Today has been an interesting day. I have been baking sourdough bread for 2 days now and I got up at 7am to start the process. Everything was going great until the 6…
I am finished the first round of treatment now and my fingers are as tingly as ever. It is remarkable how some of the effects compound a bit. Any slight coldness makes my fingers tingle. I bought more gloves to wear around the house for now. It only lasts for about a week so it…
