Inflammation On Right Side Of My Body. Anyone Else?

No need to ask me to see the doctors about this.  I have seen more medical people this week than in the last 20 years.  My inflammation seems to be subsiding. ,It is nothing new. but I noticed my right thigh bigger than my left.  It actually goes further than that.  My blood pressure on left is very low.  On the right my blood pressure is high.

 

Since my chiropractor recently told me to figure out my lymph with my functional medicine nurse, I think it may have to do with that system.

When my mom had that, it was from heart disease.  But heart disease takes a real MD to diagnose and treat.

 

 You said that the MDs you are seeing have noticed this and think it is OK?  If so, maybe it isn't really that much of a difference.  It would be normal to have small differences in size and blood pressure.

Have you ever noticed that they usually only take the pressure in one arm?  Well, the other day a nurse took the pressure in my left arm and found it quite low.  Days later a different nurse check my right arm which was dangerously high.  I realized that this high number was much different than I get at home.  As I puzzled over it, I realized the pressures were in one arm than the other.  I took the pressure in each arm and realized 20 points or so difference.  I checked on the internet and one could have 10 points different between arms.  Mine was a bigger difference and I showed them my numbers from yesterday.  But today during a recheck my numbers were within 10 and both within normal range.  I will be keeping track and working with various doctors on this.  I want to solve the swelling by finding the root and avoid medication or meddling when I can.  But

 

 am being told my lymph system is having some trouble.  Lymph drains different on each side of the body.  I am planning to ask the GI if they have any ideas.  I added many foods back in after my antibody test and have been losing one by one of them with a 4 day reaction.

 

I did have my heart checked recently by LIFELINE.  They did note an almost 10 point difference between the arm pressures.

 

I will keep trying to work on this and off I go today to another doctor.  Should be interesting.

 

 I am off to interview a GI doctor.

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
