    Why thank you! Not like I was really trying or anything. Guess it's a gift.

    I'm feeling much better after my meltdown last night. Thanks Carla and Kassandra! Must have been going through one heckuva yeastie die off. Today's day 4 of the anti-candida/non-smoking thing and it seems to be "purging day". Honestly, I can't stay off the potty for more than an hour at a time. If its not #1 its #2. And really cut down on the...

    There's absolutely no excuse for behavior like that. Did you get her name? In the meantime, here's a website that I've found handy for looking up ingredients for various meds. Open Original Shared Link Hope it helps.

    Carla and Kass, What fun!!!! Sherry, Congrats on your daughter's engagement. AAAAUUUGGGGHHH! The craving monster has awakened! And it wants donuts! Seriously, my body wants something sugary and doughy and it wants it NOW! Why is it that I have no problem not going out to buy cigs but practically have to handcuff myself to the sofa so I...

    To miso, or not to miso.... that is the question. I've read differing opinions on miso and would like yours. Some say that miso is "beneficial" bacteria and therefore ok. Other sources say its a huge no-no. What's a girl to do? Any input? Thanks!

    I didn't see that show either. Hadn't heard about consuming them until my doc brought it up. Dr Oz/Oprah article is here: Open Original Shared Link Nutritional info on chia is here: Open Original Shared Link Sorry about the links... stil haven't figured out how to do one of those tiny url things. I drink them. I soak them in...

    Well, it's been a GI tract kinda week. Got back the results of the stool testing on Monday. I've got "many yeast". No kidding, that's what the report says and is exactly how the dr told me. Also have a rather large amount of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Other than that, everything was fine. Dr's got me on caprylic acid, more probiotics, a candida diet...

    Note to self: It is a bad idea to start a full candida diet and quit smoking on the same day.

    Hi! Just wanted to post an update. Seeing the holistic MD today to go over the stool and hormone tests, as well as my current iron, vit D and B12 results. Should be interesting, if nothing else. I want to talk to her about the lyme and see if she's willing to work in concert with the LLMD. Also going to ask her about ART over at the Clymer center...

    I'll bring the chips! Cool! We'll need before and after pics, you know.

    Rachel, WooHoo!!! You go, girl! I'd be very interested in your study. Will PM you with my e-mail. Dunno what I'll be able to get out of it at this point. Maybe if I chew it in small bites. My key interest is changes in interactions with other people after trauma. Its not an anxiety that the trauma will reoccur, but an expectation...
  12. Nyxie63
    That's so true. I was dx'd with PTSD a little over 8 years ago after a breakdown. The traumatic event wasn't childhood abuse or anything like that, but devastating nonetheless. I know how to deal with it in my head - the exercises, the visualization, etc. The problem is that the hole in my heart/spirit is still there and no amout of "proper thinking"...

    Defnitely a timely topic. Pardon my vent. My depression has hit an all-time low. I haven't been this down in years. Been reading about my friends and their lives and what they're doing. Everyone has something wonderful going on. And then there's me. So many things that have meant something to me have dropped by the wayside over the past few years...
  14. Nyxie63
    Thanks I'm kind of disappointed at the setback, but still.. you're right. It is a huge thing. Thinking I might go on a candida-lite diet. Cut out all carbs, except for fruit and starchy veggies (the occasional potato or sweet potato). I've been eating gluten-free bread lately and thinking that might be part of the problem. And Pamela's gluten...

    Kassandra, Yeah, the hemp mix looks icky (sludge brown) but tastes pretty good. Carla, Jin and Kassandra, It was great chatting wtih you guys last night! We took over the room! Well, for an hour or so anyway. Everyone, So, after 4 months of not having to take my PPIs, the reflux is back. Not nearly as bad as it was before. Still, I...

    LOL! Dunno if I'm going to be on tonight or not. Might swing by for a little bit. Having a bad brain day today. Plenty to laugh at, but I have no idea how to tell you what happened. Tired too. If you can't tolerate whey protein either, have you tried hemp? I picked up some Nutiva Hemp Shake and its not bad. Contains essential fatty...

    Hey Carla! Your teeth are naked! You look wonderful! Kassandra, Yup! It's me on the lyme chat.
  18. Nyxie63
    Gee...... thanks.

    WC is WildCondor's site aka LymeWorld. Open Original Shared Link They're trying to have scheduled chats there on Wed and Sun nights at 8pm.
  20. Nyxie63
    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! 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...

    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. A tincture is when an herb is soaked in alcohol. An infusion is when its soaked in water, like a cup of tea. ----...

    Kassandra, for your cramping, try some red raspberry leaf tea. I've found it really helps with cramps. ---------- Sherry, Eek! That's scary! ------------ Jin, Thank you for the PM newsletter. Sorry I haven't responded. Not terribly talky these days. ------------ Chocolate - oddly enough, I don't like the taste of chocolate these past...

    Carla, We've got your ice storm this morning. Wheeee! At the moment, there's a 5-car pileup at the bottom of our hill. Don't think anyone's hurt, just fender benders. Cops finally showed up. And the salt truck is currently stuck halfway down the hill. They've decided to close off the road. Wonder why?

    Kassandra, Here are a couple of links on adrenal fatigue. www.drrind.com - he has a really neat chart on thyroid/adrenal symptoms. www.tuberose.com/Adrenal_Glands.html - excellent article by Dr Lam www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info - has some home tests you can do to see if you have it www.chronicfatigue.org/ASI%20Normal.html - really...

    I have an appt with Dr H's office on March 4th. In the meantime, trying to get copies of stuff I don't already have. Thinking I might have to tap into the annuity for the appt just to make sure I have enough money available. I didn't realize Kassandra was having that problem too. Guess its time to ramp up the iron pills again. Kinda slacked on them...
