Thank you, sara, for posting that awesome information about basements. So glad you saw this and posted about your experience....
Since this is new, I would see a cardiologist and get checked out. Hopefully do an echocardiogram. I have mitral valve regurge/prolapse. The doctor thinks the skipping I feel is related to that....
Being bored, I decided to see if I could find this Dr. M. I think this is him. Has some good reviews online. Hopefully you will here from some people who have experience with him....
Lapis made a post one time about using a nebulizer with peroxide and also essential oils. The essential oils could make things worse though. I will see if I can find the post. ———- Okay, here’s the...
trekkar, Are you in ongoing mold exposure? If so, do you have plans to get out? I had awful MCS symptoms for years. Fragrance is the worst for me. At times, certain fragrances nearly put me over the...
Are you able to smell outdoor mold? I can. I try to avoid being outside when I can smell it. Mycotoxins are what gives mold its smell. I notice it’s the heaviest here in the mornings and when there’s...
I saw in your very first post that girlie had listed some detox suggestions. Looks like a good list. All that is good for helping mold issues....
Binders: Activated charcoal Chlorella (be careful if you have mercury toxicity) Modified citrus pectin (ex - Pectasol-C) Bentonite clay Zeolite (Zeobind or ACZ Nano) Chlorophyllin (ex - Life...
You said this is an Infectious Disease doctor? Most of them follow IDSA guidelines. LLMD’s follow ILADS guidelines. You might want to start another post - Looking for LLMD in Wisconsin. I am pretty...
I just did a search on prostaglandins and dysbiosis. An article by Lara Briden (women’s health specialist who I have read before). Very interesting article about endometriosis and the possible...
Garzie, WOW!!!! “ sounds like a very well-informed doctor to know about LPS induced systemic effects. the link between LPS and prostaglandin E2 is not something i have seen written about much in the...
You likely also have coinfections. Tick bites transmit more than just borrelia (Lyme). You will likely need more than just doxy. Just trying to prepare you for what’s ahead. If this Lyme doctor you...
You’re not stupid. Avoiding all “normal” foods for any length of time is extremely difficult. I find dietary changes to be the absolute most difficult thing to do. To do it all right, you would have...
Could have been a touch of food poisoning. I got diarrhea once from a fish sandwich at McD’s. Never ate another one. I generally only eat breakfast foods or fries from there. Their sandwiches creep...
Cauliflower Queen, Aha! Looks like my intuition was right. I have a sixth sense when it comes to mold. 1. That leak coming in the corner of the basement - it is absolutely critical to determine the...
Yes. I still take it. It was the only probiotic I have taken where I felt any reaction in my intestines. It was only the first day or so that I took it. I can’t remember exactly what I felt - maybe...
Cauliflower Queen, I went back and read some of your previous posts just now. You sound so much like me. I had/have mold toxicity issues that have tortured me for years now. I have had great...
Cauliflower Queen, I’m so sorry. I know how disappointing and depressing it can be to make gains only to get blindsided later. Then the fear and worry that comes and the struggle to make sense of it...
skinny joe, I don’t believe she is a fraud in any sense of the word. She started her consulting after she recovered and studied for it. Everyone has a right to make a living, and she gives a lot of...
I am having hand and foot pain. Very similar to what I described in the other post but not as severe. That happened when treating parasites. I took an Alinia on Saturday, so it could be from that. I...
I don’t think you’re wrong in how you’re looking at it. If it comes in contact with the yeast, it should kill it. Try coconut oil pulling for the coated tongue. Swish for 10-20 minutes once or twice...
I just read this post, as it was in the awesome list of old posts that TheDudeAbides brought up for me in regards to treating parasites. Since I have read Brenda’s blog site and was inspired by her...
Breezy, When you were taking Alinia as solo therapy, did you pass any intestinal worms? Did the Alinia have any effect positive or negative on your gut or bowel function?...
Did anyone who’s taken Alinia get UTI type symptoms from it? I have only taken random doses. Took about 4 doses I think over a 2-3 week period when UTI symptoms started. Culture test was negative and...
You gargle and spit it out, right? I suppose it could possibly cause a herx if it is absorbed into the mouth tissues and blood stream. Have you noticed any changes in the appearance of your tongue...
Is one harsher than the other? Does one cause worse herxing? Did either have a noticeable effect right away, or do they both take days to weeks to notice anything?...
Sara, You mentioned MCAS on another post in regards to the lab negative UTI symptoms I have been dealing with. I looked back through my notes, and I am starting to think you may be right. In addition...
I took Nitrofurantoin for about a week for suspected UTI a month ago. I thought the drug was wiping out my gut flora and posted about it. Later, I was looking for more information on the drug and...
The back rash looks like possibly an allergic reaction. Not sure what to think about the one on the leg. I don’t know anything about 5-htp without looking it up. Found this on 5-htp and allergic...
I take it twice a day but can’t really tell what it does. When I first started, it made me sleepy about 30 minutes later but wore off quickly and then I had trouble going to sleep. That corrected...
Thanks, Adam. Did the test benefit you and enable you to effectively treat the right organism?...
IMO, interstial cystitis is just a symptom label, not a diagnosis. I know CIRS can cause frequent urination, as can bartonella. I actually had frequent urination and feeling like bladder was never...
Has anyone done testing with this lab? I need to get to the bottom of my lab negative UTI symptoms. Have failed two antibiotics and symptoms are back for the 3rd time. A UTI website I found mentions...
I am wondering if Psilo or anyone else tested with Aperiomics. I am having ongoing problems with UTI symptoms with negative urinalysis and negative culture, but it definitely feels like an infection...
BTW, I have had soreness in my palms, soles, and inside of elbows before when herxing. I told the doctor it felt like my blood vessels hurt. She said it was from toxins and to take binders. I think I...
I don’t know but I’m dealing with the same thing. My hands have felt swollen and sore for several days now. I also started having UTI symptoms again, and have been feeling inflamed all over. May just...
VEGF can be low in CIRS/mold, so you could have bartonella with low VEGF in the presence of mold....
Johnny, I don’t say this in a judgemental way, but I couldn’t help but notice reading through parts 1 and 2 that there was a recurring mention of alcohol and drinking too much. I hope you will get...
Hey and welcome! I posted on Pt 2....
All those are good. The only things I foresee possibly causing a herx are glutathione and NAC. Start with the glutathione. Take whatever dose the doctor recommended. I was told by a mold doctor to...
I don’t have weakness, but I have trouble making a fist due to tightness and swelling in the hands and fingers....
I have some. My Lyme doctor prescribed it again, and this time the pharmacy got it filled. The first time a couple of years ago, the pharmacy said they couldn’t get it. I understand the fury over...
That is absolutely a toxic mold scenario. Learn more about about Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) at survivingmold.com and biotoxinjourney.com. There’s an organization called ISEAI that...
Glad to hear your liver enzymes are okay now. I wasn’t sure what you meant by dreaming awake. I have rare episodes where I get wild, intrusive images in my mind as soon as I go to bed and close my...
Oh, Mike, I’m so sorry. Those are awful symptoms. “ Kept waking up feeling like I was stopping breathing.” That’s the worst! I had that, too. Make sure you don’t have a hidden leak or hidden mold...
Looks like Galaxy announced a new bartonella test early this month. It’s called the Digital ePCR test. https://www.galaxydx.com/galaxy-launches-new-test-for-bartonella/ . “For newly infected...
That is interesting about the Bartonella bacilliformis. I live in the South. I suspect lifelong bart. I had the DNA Connexions test back in 2017, but it only came back positive for Lyme and...
Yes, contact your LLMD. I would not delay. DO think carefully about what led up to this, and see if you can identify anything. There are other triggers in addition to the types of stress triggers...
Readisorb is the one my doctor told me to take. I get it through Fullscript. See if you’re doctor has a Fullscript account. Yes. If you order from Fullscript, they recommend you choose priority...
Alxander, Hey! This has nothing to do with this post. I just came across some of your older posts while looking for something else and wanted to ask you about some things. I saw where you had really...
