I had one treatment for sulfa...I think Lisa had to have a few treatments addressing residual sulfa.

Yeah I had 3 treatments for sulfa's. I think just working around washing hands all day in the restaurant and stuff made me extremely high in them. About the magnesium salt baths. I was told by Dee to not do them. Or maybe she was asking me not to do them within the 25 hour detox period.

<_< Hum, should ask next time.

I'm guessing she was talking about the 25 hour detox period....during that time you'd have to avoid all sulfur...including the foods like garlic.

FSH 4.26 (range is 5.14-23.4) isn't this really low?

LH 21.60 (range is 27.3-96.9) isn't this really low too? what does it mean?

Prolactin 10.20 (range is 3.0-27.0)

Kassandra,

I'm not sure what these tests are for but I dont think they are for thyroid.

The TSH was a thyroid test. The other tests for thyroid are FT4 and FT3. I'm not sure what FSH or LH are for...maybe someone else knows?

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Ok...heres what the FSH is for...

FSH Blood Level Measurement

This is the key test to determine whether or not you are in menopause. A sample of your blood is taken to measure the levels of FSH -- follicle stimulating hormone -- in your blood. Because your FSH levels rise when your ovaries stop producing enough estrogen, high FSH levels can signal that your body is entering menopause.

CarlaB Enthusiast

As Rachel said, FSH is follicle stimulating hormone. It gets your eggs ready for ovulation.

Prolactin is the hormone women produce mostly when breastfeeding. It actually makes you "feel" like mothering your baby ..... it's the "mommy hormone". It is an advantage of breastfeeding.

LH is the luteinizing hormone .... triggers ovulation.

Has anyone ever got an rash from detoxing. Yesterday i woke up with this big rash on my arm, its really splotchy and almost dry looking and it burns. Im thinking maybe from dry skin brushing and the epsom baths and the charcoal, and all the toxins are just coming out of my skin, but im not sure. I tried to look things up and couldnt find anything that really correlated to what i was experiencing lol.

Paula,

For the past month and a half I've had red, itchy rash on my arms (thank goodness it's winter!). I think it's definitely from toxins, but the Epsom Salt bath I took last night helped it. Maybe you should back off on detoxing for a while--focus on the binders to bind up the toxins in your body instead of releasing more from your tissue.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIAMIA!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Everyone,

I took an epsom salt bath last night and the itching/splotching on my arms has decreased a lot. I still had symptoms from the bath, and my back hurts today, but at this point it's definitely worth it. ;)

Happy Birthday, Miamia!

Ugh. Dizzy today and air hunger is really bad. Started taking the cumanda and enula yesterday. Thinking that might have something to do with it, along with the palanquil. Probably stirring up the babs (which I haven't been officially dx'd with yet).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA!!!!

Egads everyone...I'm crazy busy these days. I worked a lot of overtime Sunday/Monday and this morning already. Dr. S will be very upset with me. :rolleyes::lol:

Did anyone have a bad reaction to Humaworm?????

Like Carla, I had a rough first few days...maybe about 3 I think, but not bad after that. I called and asked them to leave out the sage since I tested positive to that in an allergy test.

OH Donna that name of makeup you use, what's it called again?. I want to look somewhat decent for easter sunday at church.

I see that Julie and Birdy have answered you re this... It's Everyday Minerals and so far, it's the best I've used.

I am the queen of hives/rashes :lol: and have them frequently, that didn't change with the skin brushing, baths, the charcoal seems to make them less severe though.

Have you been taking the baths continually, or did you just start them up again?? Anything new you started to take? I know you just recently started taking the charcoal, but I wouldn't think that would cause rashing.

When I start anything new (or do anything detox new) I back down off of it/stop it until the rashing stops and then add one thing back in at a time slowly.

I took an epsom salt bath last night and the itching/splotching on my arms has decreased a lot. I still had symptoms from the bath, and my back hurts today, but at this point it's definitely worth it. ;)

Hey, you changed your avatar!

I will miss the "Can't Brain, I Have the Dumb" :lol::D:lol:

Kass, Rachel and Carla gave you the answers about the hormonal readings, TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone.

The other thyroid things you should look for in your test results if you have them would be Tri-iodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4).

A low TSH would usualy be a diagnosis for hypothyroid, but depends on who is interpreting your results.

OK, I'm REALLY mad at Quest Labs!!! :angry: :angry:

So I called one yesterday to ask if I needed to fast or get there at a certain time, etc. Since Dr H ordered an AM cortisol, they said I had to be there by 10 am. Okay, no big deal.

Well, today I went to one close to home and I got there at 9.15. After sitting there waiting for 15 minutes, the lady tells me that I can't have my blood drawn because I'm not 18 and my parent/guardian isn't there! This was NEVER a problem at LabCorp. I mean, if you can drive there, shouldn't you be able to have them take your freakin' blood?!!!!!

So after going back and forth with her, she tells me the AM cortisol has to be taken before 9 AM...NOT 10 AM! So, I woke up early for NOTHING! :angry: :angry: Clearly...I am NOT a morning person. Ugh, I hate them!!!!

Ok, sorry for my rant. Just had to get it out! ;)

I'd be upset too Kassandra. :angry:

I did my first ecoffee! :D:lol:

It's SO not that big of a deal! I was WAY more nervous than I needed to be. Donna, stool tests are WAY worse! LOL! :lol:;)

I did really weak coffee because I wanted to make sure I didn't get a caffeine rush afterwards. And I held it for about 5 minutes. Pretty good for a first timer, huh? B)

Is it normal to get bloated while you're retaining the coffee? I would assume it is, but ya never know!

:lol::lol:

Donna...eventually you're gonna cave! :P

Kassandra....I get bloated with any kind of "e".

As far as thyroid goes your TSH looks pretty good (not the tests always tell the whole story) but you can get a better idea with the FT4 and FT3. If your TSH was high (or even above 2) it could indicate hypothyroid...if it was lower than the reference range it would indicate hyperthyroid. Basically TSH is your body's "signal" which tells the thyroid how much hormone to produce...a high number means you dont have enough in your system and your body is wanting/needing more.

I never get hives or rashes but just about everything makes my tissue swell. :rolleyes:

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. 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/

      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.

      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."

      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.
