feeling horrible

Hate to complain, but I really can't talk to anyone else about this.

I was awake most of the night with hot sweats, heart palps, and asthma.l

Even though I managed to water my plants I feel like I'm about to pass out whenever I stand up.

I'm trying to make myself eat, and I almost can't, plus I certainly don't want to cook!!!

On top of that, after a huge amount of progress (I thought), I'm going into another bout of diarrhea.

Sometimes I wonder if my body is shutting down. I'm not really depressed, just VERY fatigued, and don't know where to go from here.

I don't even know how I'm going to drive to the drugstore to get my much needed Malarone and some (also needed) sleeping pills.

All I want (apart from a wee bit of support, is a long night's sleep, a peaceful bowel, and an appropriate body temperature).

Enough energy to clean up after myself (house, dishes, etc.) would help.

Hope you feel better soon, Margaret.

It's hard to believe you'll feel better when you're at such a low...but you will. Just get through today, and maybe tomorrow is a better one.

So sorry you're suffering.

Are you able to eat, Margaret? Can you get someone to run to the store or drugstore to help you out? And did you get my email?

I do hope that today continues to be a better day for you!!

I'm sorry you went through such a rough time. Any idea if you took anything or ate anything that triggered it? I'd hate to see you got through it again. Keep improving! ((((((HUGS))))))

Thanks Marie,

Garden, I have a respiratory virus that I got from J. when I ate at his house, so that doesn't help. I juiced some Swiss chard, and apparently that didn't help. I didn't sleep well the night before, if at all. I also took a bit of Hydrocodone, nasty, nasty stuff! But the loose stools had started the day before I used the Hydrocodone, and the hot sweats were getting gradually worse.

I used one drop of Samento last week, and have been using Burbur, Pinella, and Parsley. I'm trying to boil the alcohol out of the tinctures, but I'm wondering if they'll help at all that way.

I was taking Boiron homeopathic remedies, and I wonder if the lactose and sugar messed me up. It kind of makes me mad that Boiron uses those.

I had run out of Malarone and S. Boulardii, and gotten lazy.

I don't know what else . . . Oh, I was taking Swedish bitters for possible SIBO, and now have reduced the dose.

Thanks, M

There could be some mold on the peanuts, but maybe not enough to cause the reaction that you had unless you're allergic to it. Just a thought.

I would encourage you to not do any more treatments until you can find out what's going on with your intestines then! SIBO is serious, as are many of the dysfunctions of the gut. Even my intestinal issues (malabsorption, severe cramping, leaky gut) can turn into a horror show if not kept under control.

What if the things you are using now are only contributing to your intestinal issues? It would be best to stop all, heal the gut so that you can heal the rest of you, IMHO.

Whatever you decide to do, I do hope that you find some relief soon!
Big (((((((hugs)))))))) and take the best care of you that you can!

Thanks for the prayers and prayerful thoughts.

I've heard about synthetic fecal transplants, and fecal transplant pills.

Get this though: There are two tests for C. Diff., C. Diff. A and B. Most doctors only test for B, why, I don't know.

So the hospital here only tested me for B (this time). I asked the GI doc to test me for A. I went and got a stool sample, turned it in, and you know what they told me? Unless it's (sorry about this folks, really sorry) completely liquid, they don't even do any testing at all.

So that's why they want to test me for SIBO now, and it's true that I'm intolerant of lactose, dextrose, etc., but not of some of the other things on the FODMAPS list.

I think part of all this was the respiratory virus I have, and the fact that I just didn't take care of it until yesterday, and still feeling really tired today, so going to bed.

I'm sorry you are in such a flare, it's horrible. I hate when I have my cardiac issues acting up. I will be praying for you Margaret. Hugs

Well, beans upset my tummy, and peanuts are beans, so the raw peanuts are probably even worse!

I am better today; just have a bad cold, and had a low-grade fever yesterday.

I haven't had diarrhea, but my tummy is bloated, which sometimes precedes it, so we'll see!

As for the cardiac stuff, yes it's scary!! But at least it comes and goes, so that's better than if it were there all the time.

Thanks so much for the support!

Margaret

Thanks, that's so sweet!

No, no diarrhea, just a little bloating.

I do have a bad cold, cough, and a fever, so that might explain why I had it; I don't know.

Thx., Margaret
