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 :)

Ok thanks Andrea, hope she is doing well.

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).

I'm not so sure either. :( Hopefully things won't get to a bad outbreak though.

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 ;)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
