Girlie - That's great to hear! I am sorry to hear that it was so much trouble to get back to work, but it's nice to see how things are working out now. People can be so harsh when they don't...
I completely agree, thank you for this. Let's all get along. It's important for us all to not stress and do our best to work our words into a way where it comes off as inoffensive as possible. We are...
For me I was diagnosed with many other illnesses previously. The best way to go about getting disability in the United States is to get a diagnoses for things like mental illness (anxiety and/or...
Garzie - thank you for that information. I know they have lots of testing, but it's hard to know what's the best fit. I rather spend more on the best tests than to pay for it over time. The Dude...
"Unreasonably upset". Again, rude. As if I don't have a reason to be upset. I'm not on benzos. I've been off since April 13, 2018. Got healthy by 2019 and felt good until 2021. I never asked once in...
Do you realize how rude that came off? I am on Amox Clav for an oral infection. Everyone is going to tolerate these things differently and just because Amox Clav is commonly prescribed doesn't mean...
Starting to feel like this Amox Clav is too much for me. I am not quite sure how to really judge when enough is enough, as I am told to push regardless of how I feel. This is just far too much to...
There's a whole world of that out there. Everyone is different, yes, but the hell is quite similar to this, or so it seems. That is why I have been saying what I've been saying....
Yes, but the problem with this for some people (like myself) is I come from a world with another illness where if I take these things, they would actually prolong that illness because of it changing...
Also worth mentioning, I have seen Amoxicillin be used in high doses for those with Borrelia (3,000 MGs at once) because it forces the spirochete out of the cells, therefore it can work in and out....
But I feel worse on this, but then better at times too. I just feel a mix. I don't know how to describe it. I felt like this through the last couple of years. I think doing some extra testing would...
- Posting this again just in case so it doesn't get lost. I posted it literally 1 minute before the last response nd I feel it's important to point out for those in a situation like mine. - But this...
To me, it feels like I am always herxing, no matter what I do though. Why does it seem like people can do things in their day? If I get to the mailbox my body shuts completely down. I go into panic...
But this is a technical thing. I got sick nd healed (without meds, except benzos) from October 2011-May/June 2012 then again for a few months in 2014 or 2015 (can't remember), then thought it was...
Quin - what do you do when you are already feeling that way without the antibiotics? I have felt like I am stuck in a herx since this started (May 2021) without any drugs or supplements, and I can...
From what I read on other posts, I can't seem to figure out if it's 8 months or 8 years that I will be in this. I am completely aware that it's different for everyone, I suppose I am asking as far as...
Got a message from my doc that I can start taking activated charcoal again. Not really sure why but she had me avoid it before, maybe it was to se how I reacted, not sure, but she said that her and...
Hi everyone, I've been thinking about it and recently I've come into some extra cash, and thought, "why not test?" I know I am diagnosed with some extra mycotoxins (above "normal") and a positive...
sdarrah - I am getting by... but trying to keep positive! My face still has some slight inflammation from the oral surgery and has some healing it needs to do, but the sutures are out now. One less...
Garzie - Yes! Great to see this kind of comment. I am not sure I ever mentioned it, but I went to Cornell for Nutritional Sciences. What a better way to say that food is medicine haha. So what I do...
Huddle - I had somewhat of a similar situation. Honestly, a lot of that was like me. I am too tired to explain much myself but I was diagnosed with so much before getting diagnosed with this, let me...
running wild - I sometimes feel like I am dying why everyone else is thinking, other times I feel like no one else is thinking what I'm thinking, so I often feel the need to say it, otherwise I am...
I just realized it might seem like I am new. I am sorry! So I ave been in this for 2 years, just have yet to treat due to how bad my symptoms were/are. I actually have been dealing with a lot of this...
I have no doubt that it can contribute to dental issues. It makes sense. But for me, admittedly, I just did a crappy job at taking care of my teeth. I doubt for me that they came from anything but my...
Hi everyone, I thought this might make for a good post, as I often wonder what others are doing in their day in regards to their chronic illnesses. You could write just a little or you can write...
I think the worst part is having to take another now that I have the other in my system. I am hoping I can have a decent sleep on these. I will have to try and take them when I wake up and then again...
Hi Quin, So I have answers for a lot of this. I had infection in my mouth, that's where the pain was coming from. It's important to get that stuff checked because unfortunately antibiotics cannot...
I'm feeling it now. The nausea sucks. Still, I'm not sure I can say it's as bad as the nearly never-ending dizziness/vertigo. Then again I don't have this symptom normally so we'll see. It's honestly...
I am aware that everyone has different timelines. I mean, I've been through this kind of thing before. But to hear different stories, it can be helpful for me. That's why I appreciate hearing...
Oh, and I also have an annoying migraine now. Really this is not the kind of stuff that makes me feel "oh no!" The vertigo and panic are by far the most torturous things I've had. There are other...
Thanks, Garzie. So far I am a bit nervous, have some shallow breathing, numbness in my right arm, slight discomfort in right wrist, sharp chest pains, eyes hurt, slight stomach discomfort but not a...
About to take Amox Clav 875 MG for my dental infection that I have/had. Trying to keep a positive mindset. Hoping the mental part of me is worse than what I will actual feel. Who knows, maybe I will...
So you're not in remission but still highly functional? That must be nice! I am happy to hear that. It reminds me of how I felt between 2011-2016. I mean, I wouldn't say I was fully functional...
\ You're telling me, I eat asparagus almost daily! (for real though lol) This seems to be the cade for some. I wonder how common this is though? Do you consider yourself more of a difficult case? I...
I'm sorry to hear that. So are you back in the process of treating it? Are you having any progress? That's interesting how this happened, but then again, the stress of a surgery can do a lot on the...
MCAS tests simply don't work, you have to follow along with the symptoms to be properly diagnosed. Do you have Kidney disease by chance? Magnesium can be a problem as well regarding kidney disease,...
I often wish I had found out about this sooner. I worry that because I was negative for many years that I will be harder to treat. Then again, they say that the younger you are, the more likely you...
That sounds literally like MCAS. Low sodium is very common in MCAS, as is the red skin. Are you over hydrating by chance? Depending on your situation, I would suggest less water, more salt and...
Could you help me out with some reasonable expectations? I suppose it brings me comfort to know what most people's outcomes have been through time with their treatment. Obviously, if you're lucky,...
And to the meat of the question: No. I can't lie about this, still terrified. Just preparing myself because I am looking to do this between 12 AM or when I wake up. I honestly don't feel the...
What about when you're not under treatment? It makes me wonder if that is just the illness part, and not a herx. But often times I would find myself getting so bad and trying everything from Gupta...
Thanks for getting back to me. So I was referring more to things like calming a herx. I will often do warm baths and other forms of detox, but I do not feel better doing so. If anything, I often feel...
Hi everyone, Does anyone else feel like when they start to Herkes that they may not find relief till the next day, or a couple days afterwards? I’ve been questioning this, because I often never find...
I just had 3 teeth out this week and although it hurts, I don't notice a huge change in symptoms. Even the Lidocaine didn't do much but maybe make me a bit shaky. I am extremely sensitive and got...
I just want to point out (maybe as a reminder since I think I said it before) that I was able to successfully take ibuprofen, so that's a start into the "unnatural" world of western medicine....
This is what I was getting at, things like this. I am not sure I have ever had a direct reaction like this to Augmentin or an antibiotic before, but I did start feeling crazy out of nowhere before....
I appreciate this, and it seems we are quite similar indeed, howeverI was training to be a medical professional before this happened, and so that's how it screwed me up. The only factor that I feel...
I guess it just confuses me further when some doctors say take it, some day don’t. I feel like explaining my situation is different due to this being a root canal and the stand on them being there’s...
I feel for you, it's just for me it feels so different in the sense that the smallest of things mess with me. I used to be the type that could take antibiotics and maybe get a bit of diarrhea and...
I probably sound like an idiot, but I still have yet to take one. I feel sick, but then other times I don't (like the middle of the day). I wanted to avoid this but it makes me wonder if it would...
