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 ;)

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
