    I don't think anything went down. Maybe there are just fewer, problems to report that are clinical in nature for now. The thread will bounce back when there is stuff going on and people feel like sharing again. I think that is what some are saying is that they don't feel comfortable putting out ambigious personal information on the internet. I'm down...

    Im not on thyroid meds. so its just weird to have a TSH go so low for me from 1.2 to 0.4. I think--hope--everything is okay and it will swing back in time. Im seeing an intergrative MD now, so she is getting some new labs, we shall see. Im still alive! That is good at least! The other night I knocked over a lamp with a flourecent light blub...

    You guys remember when i said I was having panic attacks and hart palpaitations for about two weeks. Well I got my blood work back the other day, after the docs told me it was all normal. I took it to an intergrative medicine doc in my area, shes holistic and an MD. Anyway, my vitamin D level was 33, which she thought could be a little higher. everything...

    I have a freakin brain cyst... this sucks Pineal cyst Discussion: Pineal gland cystic lesions are seen in 21-41% on autopsy whereas on MR imaging, they are seen in 1-4% cases. Pineal gland lesions may be divided into four basic categories: * Germ cell tumors * Pineal parenchymal tumors * Metastases * Cysts ...

    Just went to the neurologist, who specializes in headaches and he's pretty good. Anyway, he did an EEG on my brain, and it came back "perfect" he ordered an MRI on my brain. They found a 4mm cyst on my pineal glad. A benign tumor of sorts. Otherwise the rest of the brain turned out to look ok. He said that I should get another MRI in a year to see...

    I like to hear that with the diet changes it clears up. That is so true. It does help so much. Eating the right types of foods, and sipping on plain water all day helps me handle it too. I just have this weird feeling recently that the pain in my jaw is actually my parotid glands, and the swelling and pain in my neck and head are from glandular dryness...

    They didn't mention it in the ER. It's something I thought of based on my symptoms. Thanks for responding, it's the support and knowing that people care that make me happy.

    Hey guys... Question, does anyone know anything about sjogren's syndrome? I have had very dry eyes, and dry mouth and pain in my parotid glands (the ones in front of the ears and behind the jaw) and it feels like I have run out of saliva. Im going to see the eye doctor and a rheumatologist next week. Ive also been having heart palpitations...

    GOBAMA! yeah, this makes me happy today! sorry couldn't contain myself...

    Also about the cytochrome p450 enzyme... Back in 2001 the cheif of psychiatrist at OSU was trating me for depression, with a tiny dose of prozac. It was suprising that such a small dose worked and anything more made me get headaches...She mentioned that I probably had somthing going on with that enzyme in that I couldnt break down certain drugs and metabolize...

    I think that the immune system gets stimulated in reaction to the mercury (as a defense mechanism) and so the body hyper reacts to everything that is insulting to the body afterwards as an adaptation to protect itself again. It weird, yesterday, I sprayed vanilla febreeze after cleaning and I got a freakin migraine all night. My throat and chest got tight...

    Right, diagnose and treat the individual, its not one size fits all. Thats what I'm learning in my health classes as well. Sounds like something that an herbalist or Chinese medicine doctor might prepare in a tincture or something, hard to get, not mainstream. I will say, I have noticed a few pattens observing the experiences of people on this thread...

    Lymie, who made the subtilis? Where did it come from? thnx
  15. christine 25
    Glad the Subtilis is working for you... I had never heard of it before. I looked up Sibtilis and Cordyceps, and did not find much info, except that they look like some bacterial fungi that modulate the immune system. Pretty cool. Are they like magic mushrooms or something? I've always been fascinated with that stuff. Ya wish I was able to see cool...

    Hi lymie, Nice to meet you...It's a small world here. Just curious... what antivirals did Dr. P put you on? and... does the massive number next to B12 X1000 mean that you need it but cannot tolerate it? I started taking B12 pills a month ago, and at first it killed me, now I am way more desensitized to them, and they dont give me massive...

    Rachel... What type of magnesium sulfate cream do you use? Do you make it yourself or do you buy it? I would like to get some. I just bought epsom salts at the store and melted it in water and rubbed it in on my calfs, and forearms. I have a salty coating on me! I think its doing somthing? Not sure yet, its only been 15 min...

    I started taking Inositol Powder, yesterday... 2 grm 2 times a day, so far. Has Anyone heard of Inositol? It's supposed to help with liver detox, anxiety, and most of all OCD, (which I have) I bought some from the health food store for 20$ but I found the same brand on line ( Jarrow ) for way less! Open Original Shared Link It takes several...

    Foods to Avoid This list consists of foods with sufficient tyramine * Alcoholic beverages - avoid Chianti wine and vermouth. Consumption of red, white, and port wine in quantities less than 120 mL present little risk (Anon, 1989; Da Prada et al, 1988; McCabe, 1986). Beer and ale should also be avoided (McCabe, 1986), however other investigators...

    Hi lovely ladies! Good news...It turns out Im not going to die from last weeks x-rays. Okay... after freaking out last week, I feel better now. Mostly because the neck pain went away this week... I still have lingering spine pain, and the muscles around my back feel strained, but its much better than before. I think I strained my back and neck...

    I've had paradoxical effects with iodine. Sometimes it bothers me, sometimes it doesn't. I dont take it by pill, only from food now, like sushi, salt etc. I did take half a grain of an armour thryoid a coupple hours after the x rays. (left over from the past) maybe that is why I feel funkier. Im hoping that the armour mopped up some of the rad. I ate some...

    Nora, Glad the LDN is helping you. But you say you still feel bad, right? How long have you been on it? I was looking at the LDN, and the side effects of Naltrexone, and they sound awful. I don't know that I would want to experiment with that risk unless i knew it was going to help me. Or there was better evidence. Sounds like it's used a lot in MS patients...
  23. christine 25
    Nora, Thanks for the great information. I actually read it this morning and have been thinking about it at work. I googled it for a min. I have never head of this before. So is the theory that A low dose of Naltrexone 1.5-4 mg (opoid blocker) given at bedtime will actually increase the body's internal beta-endorphin levels and make someone feel better...

    This is so true! Foods and Headaches: Report #6760 3/16/96 "One in eight Americans suffers from migraine headaches. Some attacks are triggered by caffeine, monosodium glutamate, estrogen pills and protein foods aged to increase flavor. Doctors don't know what happens when a person has a migraine headache, but the most-common explanation is that...

    Carla. sorry about your Jaw pain. Jaw pain sucks. Rachel, are you still taking no-phenol and the enzymes? Do you think that they work better for you with the restricted diet you're on, or diet alone? Im going to try the failsafe diet recommendations, because Ive been having cravings, and reactions all week for some reason. I started taking B6 B12...
