This symptom started for me when I was weaning off benzos so I can only assume it has something to do with GABA-glutamate imbalance, cytokine cascades, or histamine release from MCAS....
Here in America at least we have the right over our own person. If they are taking rights over our own body away then there goes the "abortion debate" as well (and we all know how Bill Gates loves...
It sounds like a conspiracy theory but this is absolutely spot on. Bill Gates wants the whole world to get a vaccine so he can put in a cryptocurrency chip. Anyone without the vaccine cannot conduct...
So it turns out I can't tolerate Rifampin at all. Welp....
Girlie I've been on it for just about a month now. I just moved to 300/150 (4x/week) a couple weeks ago and started declining rapidly so I don't think I gave it very long before I tried to go full...
This is the sad truth and everyone doesn't wanna face it even though it's just common sense. Let us all play outside again and we'll all get chicken pox. The only way out is through. You can't lock...
It is working here in our Province. I tune in to the daily reports/discussions with our Minister of Health and our Public Health Officer. We’ve flattened the curve and so far it’s looking not so...
Any time I dose 300 it doesn't work. Even if I do 300 once a day. I could never do it twice daily....
Is it possible to recover on a half dose? I can tolerate 150 2x/day but once I went to 300 all he** broke loose. Not even for a day can I tolerate that much. Everything started going haywire...
Definite hard pass on vaccine. Since when does the government care about our health. They're trying to rush a vaccine out on the market when at best it takes a drug 4+ years to pass thorough clinical...
Notime- I noticed yesterday I barely ate and wasn't hungry either so I'm not sure what's going on. I ate normally today without the carbs and appetite is being extra again. I've tried so many...
I am in CA so I'll chime in. Right now all restaurants are closed but some are doing take-out orders and closing the dining rooms. All unmandatory businesses like luxuries (spas, massage, etc.) and...
Interesting. My cravings are just for food period. My stomach sends hunger signals within about ten minutes of eating a full meal. Today after cutting out the starchy vegetables they seem a lot less...
Well the problem is my body is demanding more food than I need as evidenced by my weight gain. So I don't believe I need more food right now, I think the bugs are making insane demands on my appetite...
Okay this might be an obvious question but does bart feed off carbs? If so then I'm going to have to cut carbs again. I just reintroduced starchy carbs but I'll have to take them back out. I was also...
Is this a side effect? Or is it the bugs dying and begging for more food? What is the cause of this? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I have not been this ravenous even when I was on a...
WBF weight-bearing exercise is using any sort of weight resistance to do strength training. You can use your own body weight, dumbbells, etc, anything heavy/resistant that will build your muscles and...
Alright I'll bring infections up with my LLMD, is there a panel he can run or does he have to look for specific ones?...
We went by symptoms. I had all the symptoms of high copper. Can't recall what they were exactly but seeing as copper made my histamine issues worse I believe my levels are high....
I think overall I am improving. The line on the chart is very up and down but the overall trend is upward. I'm definitely doing better than when I was at my worst during my 2017 relapse. I'd say I'm...
My doctor also recommended an alkaline diet. I'm not sure. I don't see any sources of protein in it I can have aside from beans which are really not that great for you. I am in need of protein to...
Weird because I have high copper. I supplemented with it not knowing it was high and it did not help in the least, it seemed to exacerbate things actually....
Has anyone been diagnosed with early-onset osteopenia or osteoporosis? I have and I'm wondering how much is related to Lyme. My doc said bart disrupts the collagen matrix in bones but my problem...
wild - they're about the size of moles I suppose. It doesn't look like any skin disease but I do wonder because they popped up rather suddenly and the only changes this week have been Rifampin and a...
I clicked on this because I've just noticed some white spots and other marks on my stomach. Not sure if this is the Bart acting out? I just started Rifampin and I know Bart causes rashes but usually...
Alright well that's helpful now how do I go about determining which pathogens I have? I've done a GI map test but nothing much came of it. All I remember was what you mentioned already, that I have...
Dude, yes I am frustrated because all I see in this conversation is Georgia telling everything I'm doing wrong but no solutions as to what I can do right. It's making me feel very helpless and...
Right now I am on all three of those ^ Rifampin, Biaxin, Bactrim. My LLMD was gonna pull me off one (I think the Bactrim) but I'm gonna request I stay if they're all good for it. Just don't know how...
Okay so you're telling me all the things not to do without providing a solution. Very helpful indeed. Before you made it sound like you knew it all about me and everything I eat....
KRae- it is mast cell activation syndrome, basically your body overproduces histamines which gives you extreme inflammation, causes of the overproduction include foods and supplements your body...
Mino and Zithro I was on for quite some time. I pulsed Mino and did Zithro daily. It did not make me herx because I don't think it was doing anything. I did not improve. Try taking only 150mg...
Alright Georgia please tell me then because apparently I know nothing about healthy eating. Please lay out the perfect diet plan for me based on my numerous allergies to soy, corn, really uncountable...
I don't eat saturated fat... huh? The only fat I eat is avocado and almonds... You don't even know what I eat... I don't eat any lectins, literally am looking at a list right now and none of them are...
Yup I did the LDN for a while and didn't notice much improvement, I think I've tried two rounds of it most recently about a year ago. Doesn't hurt but doesn't help. There must be a bart MCAS...
Yeah Nerd my allergy list is ever growing as well and I am triggered about once a week because I go out to eat 2-3x/week so I feel like I'm always walking on eggshells. It's a horrible anxiety-driven...
Girlie - wow, that's a long time, but I guess if you were a week on and a week off and pulsed it only a few days it really doesn't add up to too long. At least it helped, I'm glad to hear it. What...
Yeah I don't want that to happen but I've read Girlie's Dr. J pulses it, even taking it three days a week and then stopping a couple weeks, so I don't know. It must work for him because he's a pretty...
Girlie - how long were you on rifampin? I recall you pulsed it. Did you stop it as soon as your symptoms improved or stay on it for a while?...
Cignet- ah that makes sense if others are complaining about it. What a nightmare. Do you mean to say Rifampin should be taken indefinitely? My doc said to space it out during the week. I'm taking it...
Alright well my fish are small, I don't have salmon or tuna, so I should be good there. I have white fish mostly. Lectins, those are mostly in legumes which I avoid for the most part. So the answer...
Oh interesting, I await her reply....
Is there a connection specifically between these two? Bart is my biggest problem I believe and my MCAS has been around since before I started abx therapy so it's not due to that (though it'd be...
saraeli - yes it's histamine that's the culprit. I tried Cromolyn and reacted horribly to it so I stopped it. I've tried so many things now and it is very frustrating. GH - I don't really eat...
I've tried both fasting and intermittent fasting and they both interrupted my sleep horribly. Glutamine converts to glutamate in my body so it just makes things worse. Haven't tried aloe vera lately...
I got treated for SIBO with neomycin and rifaxin or whatever the two are. It didn't help or hurt. Leaky gut I'm sure is an issue to a degree as it is with all of us with got ailments but probiotics...
Hi saraeli. I tried low histamine my problem is that I react to a bunch of random foods and some are low histamine while others are high and I don't react at all. So I would react badly to that diet...
So B5 would prevent the strep from being active and this would somehow cause a herx? From immune system over activation or something? This sounds like an autoimmune/inflammatory issue then....
Well I am taking magnesium now (Calm), 120% of the RDA, so hopefully that will help. I had been taking it this whole week though. I'm not sure if it takes a while to build up but hopefully it will...
Hi there, it's been a while since I've been on here and truth be told it's been a very rocky road. I feel as though I am stagnant and everything I try seems to end in disaster. One thing I wanted to...
Oh yeah I read about those rollers, now they're tempting me. I was about to go to Taco Bell today for breakfast but decided against it. I'm sure it's in my near future though seeing as there's two...
