Birdy, :lol: I'll check next Monday then!

Lisa, glad you liked the yoga.

That's great you started your period, a good sign that things in that department are trying to function again :)

Kassandra,

For anxiety, you might try Bach's Rescue Remedy. Its homeopathic and I've used it for years (when I remember). I've also used it on the cats/dogs when there's been a household upset. Works pretty well for all of us.

I was just about to suggest this very thing, Bach's Rescue Remedy. It's really good for stress, stressful situations, anxiety.

To combat a cold coming on you can bump up vit C, drink ginger tea, probiotics, garlic, lots of fluids.

It was fun! I look forward to chat every day .... is that pathetic? I don't think so ... we can't help we aren't meeting in person. :)

Love the blue hair, btw. I couldn't pull that off.

See you at 8?

I figured out why I was so TIRED yesterday .... I have been fighting off a bug!

I like the chats. Its really nice to have folks to chat with and bounce off of (verbally) in real time.

Btw, managed to give the dog's dinner to the dog tonight. Yay me! :D

Will probably wander by tonight. Isn't there a chat over at WC's board on wednesdays? Or do I have my days wrong?

Thanks! re: hair. And I really hate that pic. Dunno why. Just think I look goofy. Hubby looks good tho. :)

Keep fighting that bug!

What's WC?

Maybe it's because you look so conservative .... you really can't tell it's a corset .... so you're kind of like an attorney with blue hair. :lol: :lol:

Lisa, www.lymediseaseaudio.com/lymechat.htm Starts at 8 Eastern (or later, when someone gets there). It goes late. I'm there under my Lymenet screen name.

I have heard this can be a magnesium deficiency, as well as other minerals.

My latest test results showed calcium to be a bit low.

I take 200 mg of magnesium every night. Wonder if its too much or not enough???

I am going to take a detox bath and see if that helps. :(

Hey, since i think I might have positive lyme bands, wonder if this is what is causing my daughters leg pain and iron deficiency?

My son had more of the gastro issues when he was born, but I was more symptomatic - had lots of issues going on when I was prego with him.

Let's see, I am trying to think how much Mag I was taking, it's been a while and I just can't remember the size mg my caps were. I took one every meal too, so you might be able to bump it up a little.

I hope the detox bath helps :) .

yep, i'm a guy! hahaha, thanks for your replies everyone

april, i don't see how i wouldn't have candida...it's almost a given, along with other infections...when i first got sick a year ago, was when i had that weakening swallow based attack (wasn't acid reflux, yet stirred it up)....i mean, hours and hours of bial or whatever going up and down, you can't tell me that did nothing....i have lumps on the roof of my mouth since then so something of that sort....sometimes i have green bowels which i can't see what it could be besides fungus, but it all hides i assume which is why my bowels are just different almost every time...i'm not taking probiotics, but soon i will...been needing to

good site, you people should check it out, has a parasites page, candida, mercury

it sounds so much like i have mercury, but i've never had any fillings...then again, toxin build-up of all sorts is probably the same effect....who knows, once i get some more info it'll be easier and get a better idea of what's overpowering cause all i can do is guess....i just know that my neuro system has been the thing majorly effected so when a weight is lifted off that, it'll be amazing....it's just so hard, i can't remember what it feels like to feel normal....a thing that's been drained with me is i don't know at all how to react to things, it all has no flow and feels like nothing if you will, pretty scary....and i can't even imagine how it feels to be normal :lol:

Well I've done 3 castor oil packs thus far and I started breaking out after the second one, and today after the third I am broken out all over my body :( .

I think it's safe to say the castor oil packs are really pulling stuff out of the liver and just detoxing in general.

I am going to take an epsom salt/soda/peroxide bath here shortly and hopefully that will help with the toxic load.

Has anybody heard from Rachel? Just wondering how she's doing.

Ugh, I woke up this morning and my thraot hurts so bad I can barely swallow. Also, it's like my tongue is swollen. It's very strange. I am going to be really upset if this is from the kids I babysit (not that I'll ever know...but).

So sorry about your throat :(

I also have a very sore throat and lots of drainage, everyone is sick in my family. Everyone I talk to is sick it seems, everywhere! There are some pretty virulent bugs going around right now. Some have head and throat symtoms, some in the chest, some gastrointestinal. And they say it's long lasting.

I have been drinking homemade ginger tea as much as I can for the sore throat.

I hope you feel better soon :)

I am not so sure though me breaking out is a good thing :(

Julie, did the bath help at all?

Kassandra, you don't have a clue who Curi is on Lymechat, do you? LOL It's someone you know ... see if you can guess.

If your thoat is feeling so bad and you know you've been exposed to strep, you might want to get a throat culture .... you CAN take Amoxy with Zith and Mepron (I did ... well, it was Biaxin rather than Zith).

Carla, your teeth look BEAUTIFUL!!! :D Congrats on brace-free teeth! YAY!! :)

Hmm, I am afraid to go to the Dr. I guess I could go to a local clinic. Or, I could call my LLMD and ask which abx I could get if it is strep, because I am allergic to penicillin and amoxicillin.

And, no...who is Curi? Is it Nyxie?

Julie,

Maybe take a break from the castor oil packs until you get the breakout under control. I think I'll start slow. Maybe do it every other day or so until I see what happens.

Can you take activated charcoal to help absorb? Hope the bath helps.....

April

Looks like I can bump up my magnesium if i need to. Everyone takes way more than I am currently.

My eye hasn't twitched too much today.

Thanks April :)

Yes, I am going to stop them.

I put in an email for my practitioner and I just heard back, she said definitely STOP them, I am detoxing too fast.

I just took a bath but haven't noticed any changes yet, it's too early to tell if it helped. I might take another one later. I could only stay in 15 minutes, I got much too weak.

It's probably a good idea for you to start out slow with them also.

Glad your eye isn't twitching as much today ;)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
