2024.05.19 13:19 SoSolidKerry Journey so far of herniated disc (including what's worked for me)
Hello, one and all. Been lurking for a while. Thought I'd share my experience thus far. I'm a 45-year-old female (active, healthy weight, tall – BMI around 20) who herniated L4/L5 in early January. I'm, therefore, four months, two weeks post-injury.
It's a mild-ish protrusion pressing on nerves and causing sciatica. I have never had back pain. I'm a Brit. I plan to get over this conservatively and do not intend to have any injections or surgery. Note that I have some trouble lifting my left foot and walking as normal on that side, but everything is functional. I am able to lift my toes and heels, and I have full sensation everywhere.
From my scan, disc height is compromised only a tiny bit (I have juicy discs). I have a very wide and spacious nerve canal. No other issues aside from a transitional disc below (born with more bone than disc at L5/S1, very common, and I'm luckily in the "won't cause pain" camp) and a slight bulging disc above, which isn't pressing on anything. The transitional disc is likely to have led to this injury. But moving house finally pushed me over the edge, lifting things the wrong way.
Back then, I was seeing a physio and doing some basic pelvic tilts, bridges, calf stretches, cat/camels, and – like I mentioned – cobra poses. Otherwise, I would mostly lie on the floor, on my front, resting. Or walking outdoors. It would take me three hours just to pluck up the courage to shower. And I could only stand under the hot water for less than a minute before lying on the floor again. Sitting was impossible. I couldn't use the car. I couldn't sleep on my left side. I would crawl down the stairs each morning after barely any sleep and go straight to the drugs. I couldn't make breakfast or do anything. But as each day wore on, I'd become less stiff and more upright and be able to walk for miles.
By the end of March, I discovered Egoscue and began posture therapy. I did it religiously for six weeks and even began working with a therapist. But it wasn't helping. And I didn't see any improvements. I also decided to come off the Gabapentin during this time (I would later go back on it, as I was in a lot of pain), as I felt totally off my face and hated it.
Around February, I also discovered Dr Stuart McGill. And read his excellent book, Back Mechanic. I learnt about spine hygiene and loads of other helpful stuff. Gradually, little by little, turning in bed got easier (brace that core) and getting up out of bed and off the toilet became pain-free, too. But I just wasn't seeing massive improvement.
He went through my scan, was the only one to tell me about the transitional disc, and asked what I'd been doing thus far. He recommended that I give the posture therapy and the walking a break, just for a few weeks, to see if we could calm the inflammation down. And so I did. I rested. I mostly lay on the floor on my front or back and only moved around the house. No outdoor walking. No McKenzie cobra poses (which I've since discovered do more harm than good long-term and adopt a gentler version McGill recommends and says is just as effective). That was back in early April. And following his advice alone? I saw immediate improvements. In fact, the very next day, I was pain-free for seven hours. I couldn't believe it – just by resting.
I only rested for three weeks, and then I decided to try walking outdoors again. My gosh. The difference after the break! I could barely do ten minutes around the block without pain. It was too much. (I could never walk first thing before either – only later on in the day. But it would usually be fine.) But my back specialist wanted me to try walking three times a day, starting small. So, I persisted. He told me to stop if walking made things worse, though. Thankfully, it's been three weeks since I began walking outdoors again, and I'm making great progress. I can now get up from bed and walk immediately (I had to give it an hour before I ventured out of the house). And I can walk for half an hour, too. Three times a day. I find that a morning walk is crucial. I am stiff and a little sore at first, but it eases. And sets me up for the day. I also enjoy two or three hours of no pain when returning home.
In the six weeks since I worked with my back specialist, I have seen the constant burning sciatica in my foot and calf mostly disappear. Initially, I had a lot of fuzzing. That has now subsided, and since then, it's gone from fuzzing to cold water feelings and tingling... with occasional burning again (mostly only in the top of my calf), but that goes quickly. Now and again, I'll get a random ten minutes of a burning foot again, but it soon disappears.
A few weeks ago, I started getting new sharp and painful jolts in my left hip. That's apparently blood returning to the nerves. For the last week, I have barely had any foot or calf issues—I mostly have sharp pulling nerve pain on my left kneecap and similar symptoms in my hip. Only in the last month have I occasionally started to get a bruised feeling in my lumbar spine.
The morning stiffness and leaning forward? Gone. I am bolt-upright every morning and feel pretty good, posture-wise. Funny enough, since I quit doing the posture therapy. Go figure!
My glutes are very tight and constantly holding themselves. I'm trying to teach them to relax, but it's tough, as I know they're protecting themselves. I've been using heat to relax them—just a microwaved wheat sack some mornings.
Under a week ago, I came off Gabapentin. And I also quit Ibuprofen about five weeks ago. The only meds I take now are paracetamol – just one dose in the middle of the night to calm my (good) right hip that gets sore from only sleeping on that side.
On a positive note, the pain symptoms are changing daily, which is apparently a good sign. I am starting to feel some back pain for the first time, too. Centralisation is perhaps occurring. Instead of lying on the floor for several hours before breakfast, I now find better relief in standing and moving around. I can also sit for short spurts on my dining chair first thing in the morning, whereas before, I'd only be able to do that from midday.
I'm sleeping better. Six or seven hours a night. It's a tad broken, but I feel rested. And when I get up in the morning? Whereas before, my left leg and foot would go crazy with fuzzing and burning, now? Nothing. A mild tingling some mornings, but otherwise, fine.
I spend more of my days moving around, standing, walking, and occasionally sitting than "resetting" on the floor. And when I do feel sciatica getting worse, a brief rest on the floor makes the pain go away. It's never 100 per cent pain-free, you understand. It's mildly uncomfortable and feels like it could get worse at any moment, but I'm good.
And I'm finding that if I overdo it, any flare-up I might have is brief and easily overcome. Whereas before, it might've been five days to recover, now it's an hour resting on the floor.
If I stand at my standing desk for too long, my lumbar ache begins. It's not painful. It just feels weird—bruised, almost unstable, like I can feel it stacked. I lie down, reset, and then I'm good to go.
The meds definitely helped in those painful early days; but I need feedback. Once I felt I could, I stopped taking everything.
During this time, I also hired a cleaner (fortnightly) and a gardener. I've not stopped working (I have no choice; I am a freelancer). And I have no kids. So I don't have to commute anywhere. I stay at home and rest, and the only time I leave the house is to walk. I also invested in a new mattress, a game changer (John Ryan Artisan Luxury, if anyone wants to know – I did have a firm mattress before, and discovered it wasn't helping at all. Way too firm. Based on my weight and height, I needed a medium – who knew?) I am very lucky in all of these respects, I know.
The walking really helps – but it was only when I stopped, rested, and allowed by body to heal that I noticed a difference in my symptoms.
Mornings are my best friend now. Pain doesn't usually become an issue until much later in the day. I'll have little episodes. But I can swiftly reset myself and move on. It can get harder to reset the later in the day it becomes, too. Some days are worse than others. The good days are starting to outweigh the bad. When I have an awful day, I do feel disheartened. But then I remember how far I've come, and try and stay strong.
I don't always do my three walks, either. If that evening walk doesn't feel right, I won't do it. I'll rest. I'll ice my back and lie down. I absolutely am trying to avoid drugs. But I have ibuprofen in my cupboard, just in case!
But I am healing. This has been quite the journey, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm excited for the next phase of recovery: rehab! And boy, will I be taking it seriously—for the rest of my life! It's down to us, after all. No one can do it for us.
There are some big life events coming up that I know I'm not ready for. When they get closer, if I'm still not better, I will call my GP and ask for advice. Ibuprofen might be brought out again. Perhaps even something stronger. But if I'm one of the lucky ones, I should be seeing further progress in the coming weeks and months.
I rate my ability to function normally when I can sleep on my left side again, drive my car and when I can sit on the sofa, too! I won't mind if there is some residual pain and weakness. As long as I can function without having the crux of a floor and yoga mat nearby.

The transitional disc is likely to have led to this injury. But moving house finally pushed me over the edge, lifting things the wrong way.
The first month
The first month was obviously painful. Terrible sleep; sciatica was awful (burning in my left calf and left foot with some right foot tingling), and I was very stiff and leaning forward most mornings. Doing McKenzie cobras in those early days helped massively. And amazingly, I kept up with walking and averaged 15,000 steps daily. It wasn't painful. But I was taking Ibuprofen and paracetamol. I believe a lot of my sciatica has been caused by inflammation.Back then, I was seeing a physio and doing some basic pelvic tilts, bridges, calf stretches, cat/camels, and – like I mentioned – cobra poses. Otherwise, I would mostly lie on the floor, on my front, resting. Or walking outdoors. It would take me three hours just to pluck up the courage to shower. And I could only stand under the hot water for less than a minute before lying on the floor again. Sitting was impossible. I couldn't use the car. I couldn't sleep on my left side. I would crawl down the stairs each morning after barely any sleep and go straight to the drugs. I couldn't make breakfast or do anything. But as each day wore on, I'd become less stiff and more upright and be able to walk for miles.
In search of a silver bullet
I tried everything in February and March. Acupuncture, physio, McKenzie stuff... They put me on Amitriptyline initially, but I hated it. And so they gave me Gabapentin. This helped with sleep and dialled down the pain significantly (I was on 300mg three times a day). I vaguely remember a crazy day when I walked into my local town, sat, and had cake and tea with an old friend. Still to this day, I can't figure out how! Boy, those drugs worked!By the end of March, I discovered Egoscue and began posture therapy. I did it religiously for six weeks and even began working with a therapist. But it wasn't helping. And I didn't see any improvements. I also decided to come off the Gabapentin during this time (I would later go back on it, as I was in a lot of pain), as I felt totally off my face and hated it.
Around February, I also discovered Dr Stuart McGill. And read his excellent book, Back Mechanic. I learnt about spine hygiene and loads of other helpful stuff. Gradually, little by little, turning in bed got easier (brace that core) and getting up out of bed and off the toilet became pain-free, too. But I just wasn't seeing massive improvement.
Finding the right approach
That's when I decided to see a Master Clinician under McGill. Wow. It was the best money I had ever spent, and I'd spent more on acupuncture!He went through my scan, was the only one to tell me about the transitional disc, and asked what I'd been doing thus far. He recommended that I give the posture therapy and the walking a break, just for a few weeks, to see if we could calm the inflammation down. And so I did. I rested. I mostly lay on the floor on my front or back and only moved around the house. No outdoor walking. No McKenzie cobra poses (which I've since discovered do more harm than good long-term and adopt a gentler version McGill recommends and says is just as effective). That was back in early April. And following his advice alone? I saw immediate improvements. In fact, the very next day, I was pain-free for seven hours. I couldn't believe it – just by resting.
I only rested for three weeks, and then I decided to try walking outdoors again. My gosh. The difference after the break! I could barely do ten minutes around the block without pain. It was too much.

I find that a morning walk is crucial. I am stiff and a little sore at first, but it eases. And sets me up for the day. I also enjoy two or three hours of no pain when returning home.
Finally seeing progress
Since early April, the improvements have been gradual but almost daily. They're so small sometimes that you hardly notice them! It's only when you look back that you realise how far you've come!In the six weeks since I worked with my back specialist, I have seen the constant burning sciatica in my foot and calf mostly disappear. Initially, I had a lot of fuzzing. That has now subsided, and since then, it's gone from fuzzing to cold water feelings and tingling... with occasional burning again (mostly only in the top of my calf), but that goes quickly.

Only in the last month have I occasionally started to get a bruised feeling in my lumbar spine.
The morning stiffness and leaning forward? Gone. I am bolt-upright every morning and feel pretty good, posture-wise. Funny enough, since I quit doing the posture therapy. Go figure!
My glutes are very tight and constantly holding themselves. I'm trying to teach them to relax, but it's tough, as I know they're protecting themselves. I've been using heat to relax them—just a microwaved wheat sack some mornings.
Under a week ago, I came off Gabapentin. And I also quit Ibuprofen about five weeks ago. The only meds I take now are paracetamol – just one dose in the middle of the night to calm my (good) right hip that gets sore from only sleeping on that side.
How far I've come
Here I am, four months and two weeks post-injury. I still can't sit on a soft surface (I use a special sciatica cushion on a dining chair), I can't sit in a vehicle for the same reason, I can't sleep on my left side, and I still have some mild foot drop but am walking better.On a positive note, the pain symptoms are changing daily, which is apparently a good sign. I am starting to feel some back pain for the first time, too. Centralisation is perhaps occurring. Instead of lying on the floor for several hours before breakfast, I now find better relief in standing and moving around.

If I stand at my standing desk for too long, my lumbar ache begins. It's not painful. It just feels weird—bruised, almost unstable, like I can feel it stacked. I lie down, reset, and then I'm good to go.
What has really helped
I now know what to do to avoid triggering pain. I can tie my shoes with my foot on a bench and lunge in. I have a shoe horn – a game-changer! I also use a strapped-on ice pack when I need to calm my nerves. Less so these days. And heat on my ass when the glutes feel too tight. I only take paracetamol in the middle of the night to help me sleep. Oh, and I find going to bed with an ice pack on sometimes really helps!The meds definitely helped in those painful early days; but I need feedback. Once I felt I could, I stopped taking everything.
During this time, I also hired a cleaner (fortnightly) and a gardener. I've not stopped working (I have no choice; I am a freelancer). And I have no kids. So I don't have to commute anywhere.

The walking really helps – but it was only when I stopped, rested, and allowed by body to heal that I noticed a difference in my symptoms.
Not out the woods yet...
Pain is still an issue. Evenings are the worst. I go to bed around 9pm and lying there brings relief and I have no issue going to sleep. I only wake after about three or four hours due to sleeping on the same side every night. And then easily fall back to sleep, with only a few brief waking moments. I roughly get around six or seven hours a night. And thankfully, sciatica isn't really present at night (maybe a little harmless fuzzing). Just the evenings before bed – that's when it can get intense and the burning in my calf and foot can come back tenfold. Sigh.Mornings are my best friend now. Pain doesn't usually become an issue until much later in the day. I'll have little episodes. But I can swiftly reset myself and move on. It can get harder to reset the later in the day it becomes, too. Some days are worse than others. The good days are starting to outweigh the bad. When I have an awful day, I do feel disheartened.

What's next?
I'm nowhere near ready to begin strength training. And I've avoided all physio and stretching of late. I am just doing what my back specialist recommends. Some mild cat/camels to get the blood flowing, walking, resting. I take magnesium, turmeric, vitamins D and B12, omega-3. I try to avoid sugar and alcohol (I don't always succeed on that one). I'm not ready for longer walks yet. And there's no way I could take a bath, sit up in bed, or sit on the sofa.But I am healing. This has been quite the journey, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm excited for the next phase of recovery: rehab! And boy, will I be taking it seriously—for the rest of my life! It's down to us, after all. No one can do it for us.
There are some big life events coming up that I know I'm not ready for. When they get closer, if I'm still not better, I will call my GP and ask for advice. Ibuprofen might be brought out again.

Key takeaways
- Sleep is everything. Prioritise sleep. Get a new mattress if you can (make sure you get the right one for you – in my case, medium! Because bad backs don't necessarily need firm surfaces). Lie on your side with a pillow between your knees or on your back with a pillow below your knees.
- Read Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill as soon as possible – learn how to avoid pain triggers.
- Take the meds when you need to. But remember, they are masking a lot of pain. So go easy!
- Drink lots of water. Stay hydrated for your spine.
- Take some supplements but do your research. I take magnesium (muscle), turmeric (anti-inflammatory), vitamins B12 (nerves) and D (bone), and omega-3 (joints and bones).
- Ice when trying to calm the nerves; heat when trying to relax the muscles.
- Try and avoid sugar and alcohol – they cause inflammation.
- Walk when you can. Start gradually. Once in the morning – as soon as you get up; once after lunch and once after dinner. Start at two minutes if you have to. Build to half an hour each time. Once you can do this with little to no pain, try some longer walks. Take long strides, swing your arms from the shoulders, and keep a good neutral posture.
- Listen to your body! Rest when you need to.
- Stay positive. Create fun little rituals throughout your days. Start a new hobby. Keep mentally strong. Call friends and family. Get people to visit you if you can.
- Only do what's essential. Sod the housework! Get food shops delivered. And develop a more relaxed attitude to everything – do you really need to sort the ironing?
- Buy some comfortable loungewear. Game-changer!
- Most of all, time is the biggest healer. These things can take up to two years to settle. The average is apparently six months. Everyone is different.

Reviews🔗Kopari Brightening Aluminum-Free Deodorant for Odor Controlhttps://preview.redd.it/mn8ls5hu2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b56b3cff06ff1fcdae114a1f12c7e88dedff194 In my journey to discover the best deodorant, Kopari's Brightening Aluminum-Free Roll On Deodorant caught my eye. I'm happy to report that this deodorant has been a game changer for me. First off, I must say that the fresh melon scent truly transports me to a tropical paradise. It's subtle and not overpowering, which I greatly appreciate. Applying this roll-on is super convenient and mess-free. One thing that sets this deodorant apart is its unique combination of plant-based actives. These ingredients help provide long-lasting odor protection while simultaneously working to brighten the appearance of my underarms. I didn't experience any serious irritation during the transition, which can be common with natural deodorants. However, there are a few minor issues that are worth mentioning. Some users have reported a slight stickiness or residue left behind after application. There's also a chance that it may not last all day, especially for individuals with active lifestyles. Despite these minor cons, Kopari's Brightening Aluminum-Free Roll On Deodorant has truly made a difference in my daily life. Over time, I have noticed that my underarms are visibly brighter and smoother. While it may not be perfect for everyone, I would definitely recommend giving this deodorant a try. 🔗Carpe Antiperspirant Hand and Foot Lotion Package Dealhttps://preview.redd.it/p8lze0ru2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49574390752a09f2243b8c9d4041521d1733b448 As someone who has struggled with sweaty hands my entire life, I was excited to try out Carpe Antiperspirant Hand and Foot Lotion. The first thing that struck me was the soothing eucalyptus scent, which quickly faded after application but still left me with comforting tingles on my hands and feet. I applied it every night before bed for the recommended four weeks, and I must say, it made a noticeable difference. One standout feature of Carpe is its non-irritating nature. Unlike some other antiperspirants I've tried, it did not cause any unpleasant sensations or redness on my skin. The lotion also dries quickly, making it easy to apply throughout the day without leaving any residue on my hands or feet. However, I did experience one minor issue with the foot lotion. When I applied it in the morning right after my shower, it remained sticky for a while, making it a bit uncomfortable to wear shoes. Nonetheless, I found that applying it at night before bed and sleeping in socks worked much better, ensuring that my feet were dry and comfortable come morning. In summary, while there may be some room for improvement with the foot lotion, overall, Carpe Antiperspirant Hand and Foot Lotion has been a game-changer for me. Its gentle yet effective formula has helped control my excessive sweating and boosted my confidence in both social and professional situations. For anyone else dealing with this issue, I would highly recommend giving Carpe a try – it might just change your life too! 🔗Underarm Exfoliation and Odor Control Scrubhttps://preview.redd.it/ad4hew6v2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8761b2c0acea6be9373242944b589374055e4c6 I recently discovered Carpe Exfoliating Underarm Wash, and it has quickly become a staple in my shower routine. This gentle scrub effectively cleanses and exfoliates my underarms, leaving them feeling refreshed and ready for the day. The natural oils and witch hazel in the formula help to nourish and soothe my skin, while the exfoliating beads work to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. One of the standout features of Carpe Exfoliating Underarm Wash is its ability to reduce odor and improve the performance of my deodorant. I've noticed that even on days when I forget to apply deodorant, my underarms stay fresh and smell great. The energizing minty scent adds an extra layer of freshness, although some users may prefer a more floral or sweet fragrance. However, some users have reported experiencing mild skin irritation after using the product, so it's essential to perform a patch test before applying it all over your underarms. Overall, I would highly recommend Carpe Exfoliating Underarm Wash to anyone looking for a gentle and effective way to maintain fresh and odor-free underarms. 🔗On-The-Go Sweat-Fighting Wipeshttps://preview.redd.it/zj2lfgiv2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a23502175e125b27d4b5fe23cef52f352207ef1 Carpe's On-The-Go Antiperspirant Underarm Wipes have been a game-changer in my daily life, making the fight against sweat so much easier and more manageable. From the convenience of having individually wrapped wipes that are easy to slip into my purse or pocket to the impressive effectiveness of keeping me dry all day long, these wipes have made a significant difference in how I feel and function on a daily basis. The 7x9" wipes are not only large enough to comfortably cover the entire underarm area, but they're also incredibly versatile, allowing me to use them on wet, damp, or dry skin with equal ease. The no-residue formula is gentle on the skin, while still providing me with the powerful, refreshing sweat relief I've been looking for. What sets these wipes apart from other antiperspirants on the market is their ability to be used throughout the day when I'm already sweaty and on-the-move. This has been particularly beneficial during long workdays and during travels, where keeping fresh and dry can often seem like an impossible task. Of course, no product is perfect, and some users may experience a slight inconvenience with the product transferring to your hands during application. However, this issue can easily be resolved with a quick wash afterward. Overall, Carpe's On-The-Go Antiperspirant Underarm Wipes have truly been a life saver for me, providing me with the reliable sweat relief and freshness I've been searching for. I highly recommend giving these wipes a try, especially considering the convenient single-use packaging and the affordability of subscribing to a regular supply. 🔗Clinically Proven Antiperspirant Foot Lotion - Plantar Hyperhidrosis Treatmenthttps://preview.redd.it/rfu50vwv2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d38c0f335ff8911be832629e8e5e5b401d170264 Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion has become a game-changer in my daily life. As someone who suffers from excessive foot sweat and odor, I was always on the hunt for a solution that would help me regain my confidence. This lotion has been a lifesaver, giving me fresh, dry feet and keeping odor at bay. The first thing that stood out to me about this product was its smooth, non-greasy texture. Unlike other foot creams I've tried, Carpe doesn't leave a sticky or oily residue on my skin, which is especially important when I'm wearing shoes. The lotion applies easily and dries quickly, making it perfect for busy mornings when I don't have time to wait around for my products to absorb. Another highlight of Carpe is its natural eucalyptus oil and moisturizing ingredients. While the lotion effectively tackles my sweat problem, it also soothes and hydrates my skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. The gentle scent of eucalyptus is a welcome addition, providing a refreshing aroma that lingers throughout the day. However, there are a few cons to consider with this product. Firstly, the small tube size may be a concern for some users, especially given the relatively high price point. Additionally, I've noticed that the lotion can leave some residue on socks, which may be unpleasant for some people. Despite these minor drawbacks, I am extremely satisfied with the results I've seen using Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion. It has greatly improved the quality of my life by eliminating embarrassing sweat and odor issues, and I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with similar concerns. 🔗Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion for Hyperhidrosis (Warm Vanilla)https://preview.redd.it/2oleun8w2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f91eefb9e7990ca68bbc4e12b33e0df439e3d623 Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion has been a game-changer in my daily life. As someone who suffers from hyperhidrosis, I was initially skeptical about its claims to help control hand sweat and make life more comfortable. However, after trying it out for myself, I can confidently say that it works wonders! The first thing that stood out to me was how quickly the lotion dries on my hands. Unlike other moisturizers that leave a sticky residue, Carpe absorbs quickly and leaves no trace of greasiness behind. Its gentle formula is perfect for those with sensitive skin, as it's paraben-free and cruelty-free. One major con is the lingering scent of mint, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. While it's not overpowering, it could be off-putting for some users. Another downside is that the product doesn't seem to have a significant moisturizing effect. So, if you're looking for something that also hydrates your skin, this might not be the best choice. Overall, Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion has made a noticeable difference in my day-to-day life, helping me control my excessive hand sweat and feel more confident in social situations. Its speedy drying time, gentle formula, and effectiveness make it a worthwhile investment for anyone struggling with hyperhidrosis. Just keep in mind that it may not suit everyone's preferences due to its scent and lack of moisturizing properties. 🔗Fast-Absorbing Anti-Chafing Thigh Lotion for Sweat Reductionhttps://preview.redd.it/lbvt5low2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b0c286bf4f5185c097721ee115492cb61aac168 Carpe Thigh Lotion has been my daily companion since I started using it a few weeks ago. The lotion is so lightweight and non-greasy that I feel like I'm not wearing anything on my thighs at all. Its natural ingredients, especially aloe vera, shea butter, and vitamin E, make my skin feel soothed and moisturized all day long. One of the things that I really appreciate about this product is its pleasant, light scent. Unlike other lotions or deodorants I've tried, Carpe Thigh Lotion doesn't have a strong or overpowering smell, which is perfect for those who are sensitive to strong fragrances. On the downside, I did notice a white residue left behind after application, but it was easy to wash off my hands and didn't leave any stains on my clothes. Another issue for me was the relatively small product size. Given how frequently I apply the lotion, especially during hot summer days, I find myself running out of it quite quickly. In summary, I'm very happy with the performance of Carpe Thigh Lotion. Its lightweight formula, natural ingredients, and pleasing scent make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to reduce chafing and dryness on their thighs, especially those who spend a lot of time outdoors or engage in physical activities. I would recommend this product to anyone in search of a reliable and effective solution for preventing chafing and keeping their skin smooth and comfortable all day long. 🔗Sweat and Odor-Reducing Groin Powder for Menhttps://preview.redd.it/6eqwc11x2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd4cc127bf56031dde48e1eb9e4801dcddd82859 I recently tried Carpe Sweat Absorbing Groin Powder and I have to say, it's a game-changer! This product has made my daily life so much more comfortable. It's not just about keeping the sweat at bay; it's about preventing that dreaded chafing that can occur when you're on your feet all day. The standout feature for me was the quick absorption time. As soon as I applied it, it disappeared into my skin, leaving no trace of residue or visible white powder. I also appreciated how dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic it is, making it perfect for sensitive skin like mine. However, there's one thing that could be improved upon. While the powder does an excellent job of reducing sweat, I found that the effect doesn't last quite as long as I'd like. So, if you're planning on being active for a long period, you may need to reapply. All in all, I highly recommend Carpe Sweat Absorbing Groin Powder for men looking for a reliable solution to stay dry and comfortable all day long. It might not be perfect, but its benefits far outweigh any drawbacks. Give it a try and see for yourself! 🔗Carpe Clinical Grade Underarm Wipes - Effective Sweat Management Night Wipeshttps://preview.redd.it/tz560yix2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5616f46fb22216688de46c1d3cd0a714a7b83f7 I recently incorporated the Carpe Underarm Wipes into my nightly routine and it's been a total game-changer for me. I've struggled with excessive underarm sweating for years and it's finally under control now. After using these every other night along with their exfoliating product and antiperspirant, my underarms stay bone-dry for days. These lavender-scented wipes are such a convenient part of my nightly routine - just rub one on your underarms before bedtime and go to sleep. When you wake up, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how dry and odor-free your underarms remain. One feature that really stands out is their gentle formula that doesn't cause any itching or irritation, unlike some other antiperspirants. Plus, they're incredibly easy to use and don't require any daily application – just remember to use them every other night. However, there is one downside to consider: the thickness of the wipes. While they effectively combat underarm sweating, I wish they were a bit thicker so they lasted longer. Despite this minor inconvenience, I'm absolutely thrilled with the results I've experienced since incorporating Carpe Underarm Wipes into my routine. 🔗Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant and Deodorant Pack of 3 with Free On-the-Go Wipeshttps://preview.redd.it/l686m1ox2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=206905e79d34921a52b64ba15c80b90e2c2e7431 As someone who struggles with excessive sweating, I was excited to give Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant a try. I was blown away by its ability to effectively manage my hyperhidrosis symptoms. The soft-foam applicator is gentle on my skin and the natural eucalyptus scent keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day. This unobtrusive deodorant doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing a cloud of fragrance, which I appreciate. A definite pro is the inclusion of free on-the-go wipes, perfect for a quick freshen up on those particularly sweaty days. The only downside? It might not last as long as other brands, but it's a small price to pay for relief from excessive sweating. Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant is truly a game-changer for those looking to manage their hyperhidrosis symptoms. Its gentle formula and subtle scent make it a joy to use, while the free on-the-go wipes are an added bonus. However, you may find that you need to apply it more frequently than some other brands. Overall, I highly recommend Carpe Deodorant for anyone in need of effective antiperspirant protection. 🔗Advanced Antiperspirant for Excessive Sweating - Carpe Fresh Powder Scenthttps://preview.redd.it/03hyg62y2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8ce785b5848ef957aae30373c9bce39cd2bd62a As a product review writer, I must say that the Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant has been a real game-changer for me. It's hard to remember life without it. Before discovering this amazing product, I had tried countless deodorants, only to be left with sweat-stained clothes and a lingering embarrassment. But Carpe changed all that. One feature that really stands out is its long-lasting protection against sweat and odor. Whether I'm at the gym or walking around town on a hot summer day, I can trust that my underarms won't betray me. Another highlight worth mentioning is how gentle it is on my skin. Unlike other antiperspirants that leave me feeling irritated, this one leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable. However, there are some downsides. For instance, the applicator can be a bit tricky to use at first. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but once I did, applying the cream became second nature. Additionally, while the scent is quite pleasant, it can be a little overpowering for some people. Overall, I highly recommend Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant to anyone looking for an effective solution to excessive sweating. It's a well-researched and dermatologist-tested product that truly delivers on its promises. Give it a try - your sweaty days might just be over! 🔗Dermatologist-Recommended Hand Lotion for Sweaty Handshttps://preview.redd.it/kdwzs2ly2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92b81235d76cfedf156a749e55fee70b60a08374 I've been using Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for me. As someone who struggles with excessively sweaty hands, I can attest to the effectiveness of this product. This smooth, quick-drying lotion has managed to keep my hands dry and comfortable from morning till night. One of the things that stands out about Carpe is its unique formula. Unlike other antiperspirants that can be harsh on the skin, Carpe is not only dermatologist-recommended, but it's also paraben-free and cruelty-free. This means that not only does it work effectively to control sweating, but it also takes care of your skin in the process. On the flip side, I find that applying Carpe can leave a slightly greasy residue on my hands, which can take a few minutes to absorb completely. While this is a minor inconvenience, the benefits of using Carpe certainly outweigh this small con. In conclusion, if you're looking for a reliable solution to excessive hand sweat, I'd highly recommend giving Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion a try. Its gentle, skin-friendly formula and impressive performance make it a top pick for me. 🔗Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion - 1.35 fl ozhttps://preview.redd.it/1ayp4cry2d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c373fbfad644b3087a812628b91e967878d78229 As a reviewer who's had the chance to use Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion, I couldn't be happier with the results. Before trying this product, I struggled daily with sweaty feet, and it impacted not only my comfort but also my self-confidence. However, Carpe has completely transformed my experience. Not only does it offer protection against blisters, but it also ensures my feet remain fresh all day long, thanks to its essential ingredient enriched formula. Its gentle, paraben-free composition on my skin is another stand-out feature. While this lotion has worked wonders for me, it's worth mentioning that it does leave a somewhat funny film on your feet and can be more expensive than other products. However, if you're tired of trying everything and nothing seems to work, Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion is definitely worth the investment. It's a product I will gladly continue using and recommend to others. Buyer's GuideApply your Carpe Deodorant generously and evenly to clean, dry armpits.

Have you heard of Batana Oil and its amazing benefits for hair?
In this article, we will explore what Batana Oil is, how it is made, and the numerous advantages it offers for hair care.
From promoting hair growth to reducing dandruff, Batana Oil has become a popular choice for those seeking healthier and stronger hair.
We will also discuss any potential side effects, how to use Batana Oil effectively, and where you can purchase this miracle oil.
Let's dive into the world of Batana Oil and discover why it has garnered so much attention in the beauty industry.
For centuries, the Miskito people have treasured Batana Oil for its deeply rooted cultural significance. This ancestral knowledge and tradition have been passed down through generations, highlighting the deep connection between the people and this natural remedy. The process of extracting the oil is a meticulous craft, involving traditional methods that honor the palm tree's natural gifts. The rich nutrients present in Batana Oil make it a versatile elixir for skin rejuvenation and hair nourishment. Its moisturizing properties are renowned for promoting healthy hair growth and providing a radiant complexion.
The process of making Batana Oil through cold pressing involves carefully selecting ripe Elaeis Oleifera nuts, which are then cracked open to reveal the kernels inside. These kernels are sun-dried before being cold pressed to extract the precious oil, ensuring that the nutrients and therapeutic properties are well-preserved. This method, commonly practiced in Central America, where the American palm tree is prevalent, is known for producing high-quality oil rich in nutrients essential for nourishing and rejuvenating the skin and hair.
Originating from the lush Mediterranean region, Batana Oil has been used for centuries as a holistic solution for maintaining healthy and vibrant hair. Its natural composition not only accelerates hair growth but also aids in deeply penetrating the scalp to nourish and rejuvenate hair follicles.
One of the key factors that make Batana Oil effective for hair growth is its ability to deeply penetrate the hair follicles and strengthen the roots. This process not only encourages faster hair growth but also helps prevent hair breakage and split ends. By delivering essential nutrients such as Vitamin E, Omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants directly to the hair follicles, Batana Oil revitalizes the scalp, creating an optimal environment for hair growth to thrive.
The unique composition of Batana Oil allows it to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft, delivering nutrients that strengthen and repair damaged strands. This botanical oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, which help to restore the hair's natural shine and vitality.
Regular use of Batana Oil can improve the overall health of your hair, making it more manageable and less prone to breakage. Whether you have dry, brittle hair or just need a boost of moisture, this oil is a versatile solution for all your hair care needs.
When the scalp's natural microbial balance is disrupted, issues like dandruff and irritation can arise. Batana Oil's unique properties help in rebalancing these microorganisms, thus calming the scalp and reducing discomfort. Its therapeutic uses extend beyond mere symptom relief, as the oil's nourishing components penetrate deep into the skin, enriching it with essential nutrients for long-lasting health. By incorporating Batana Oil into your hair care routine, you are not just tackling the visible signs of scalp issues but also nurturing and maintaining a harmonious environment on your scalp.
The rich nutrients and essential fatty acids present in Batana Oil deeply penetrate the hair shaft, nourishing and hydrating from within. This helps in sealing the damaged cuticles, preventing further breakage and split ends. The oil's antioxidant properties combat the harmful effects of free radicals present in the environment, which often lead to hair damage. Regular use of Batana Oil can help in revitalizing and rejuvenating hair, making it stronger, healthier, and more resilient to external aggressors.
Allergic reactions to Batana Oil can manifest as skin redness, itching, or swelling. It is important to conduct a patch test before applying the oil liberally to avoid adverse skin reactions.
Individuals with hereditary hair loss should consult their dermatologist before incorporating Batana Oil into their hair care routine.
Side effects can vary depending on individual skin sensitivity, so monitoring any changes is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Taking precautions in skin care routines, such as using sunscreen and gentle cleansers, can help mitigate potential side effects of using Batana Oil.
Allergic reactions to Batana Oil can manifest as redness, itching, swelling, or even hives on the skin. These reactions are typically more common in individuals with sensitive skin or existing allergies. The patch test helps in identifying any adverse responses before widespread application, ensuring safety.
While Batana Oil is known for its nourishing and hydrating properties, some individuals may experience side effects such as scalp irritation or mild rashes. It is recommended to discontinue use immediately if any discomfort occurs and seek medical advice.
While Batana Oil holds numerous benefits for hair, including nourishment and hydration, excessive application can have adverse effects. The build-up of oil on the scalp can clog pores, leading to scalp irritation and even hair loss over time. This greasiness not only makes the hair appear unwashed but also attracts dirt and pollutants, further exacerbating the situation.
To prevent these issues, it is crucial to strike a balance in the usage of Batana Oil, ensuring that it benefits the hair without causing any harm.
When using Batana Oil as a hair mask, it provides deep conditioning benefits, revitalizing dry and damaged hair, leaving it soft and manageable. As a leave-in treatment, Batana Oil helps to lock in moisture, tame frizz, and promote healthy shine. Alternatively, incorporating Batana Oil into your hair care routine as a pre-shampoo treatment creates a protective barrier against the harsh effects of shampooing, ensuring that the hair retains its essential nutrients.
Applying Batana Oil as a hair mask involves a simple yet effective process. Begin by sectioning your hair and warming up a small amount of Batana Oil in your hands. Then, gently massage the oil into your scalp and hair, ensuring even distribution from roots to ends.
After application, leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes to allow it to penetrate the hair shaft and nourish deeply. For enhanced effectiveness, you can wrap your hair in a warm towel or use a shower cap to create heat and enhance absorption.
Rinsing off the Batana Oil hair mask with a gentle shampoo and conditioner will leave your hair feeling soft, silky, and deeply moisturized.
One of the key benefits of incorporating Batana Oil into your hair care routine is its ability to deeply nourish the hair follicles, resulting in stronger and healthier locks over time. The continuous nourishment provided by this natural oil helps repair damage, reduce breakage, and improve overall hair quality. Batana Oil's rich composition of essential fatty acids and antioxidants contributes to boosting hair shine, leaving your tresses looking smooth, lustrous, and radiant.

2024.05.18 16:30 kaworu876 Could someone explain to me why Hannaford doesn’t carry my favorite flavor of Vitamin Water?
Hey guys. Maine native who has spent the last 5 years living out west in Colorado. I just returned home, and was shocked when I went shopping to discover that the Portland Hannaford did not carry the one flavor of Vitamin Water I drink on a regular basis - the tropical citrus “energy” flavor, which also happens to be the one and only vitamin water (to my knowledge) to also contain caffeine.
At first I thought it was just sold out or something, because it’s often among the most popular flavors. But after a couple more trips I noticed that there is actually no spot in the shelf at all for this flavor, and that Hannaford apparently just refuses to stock it.
I cannot imagine why, but I can only think that someone objected to the presence of caffeine in this one flavor of vitamin water, while the others do not have it? Maybe the flavored water aisle has a strict “no caffeine” rule? I can’t imagine any other reasonable reason.

2024.05.18 03:14 ercussio126 Ankle joint destroyed due to doctor's negligence.
Last June I was hit by an SUV while riding my motorcycle home from work. I had a double compound fracture of the tibia and fibula, along with a torn Achille's tendon.
First surgery and surgeon was for the tendon and the fixator, at the hospital I was ambulanced to. Then I was transferred to a Kaiser hospital, as they are my insurer. I was in the fixator for the regular amount of time. My new Kaiser surgeon performed the procedure to plate my fractures, and it was a success.
I went through rehab and physical therapy. I always did my PT to the best I could. Everything was going well. At the start of this year, my surgeon switched to phone calls instead of office visits--I would get an X-ray on my own time a few days before the phone call appointment.
At about the 8 month mark, it should have been healed, but it was not healing up properly. The surgeon said sometimes it takes longer on the inside of the ankle. He explained that the hardware can last for about 10 months, then it won't hold up.
At about 9 or so months I was walking/using my leg as much as possible, as instructed. I was experiencing a dull, sore pain, in the morning and evenings. I described this pain to my doctor. He told me that if the pain was bearable, we should simply wait and see.
I eventually started to notice my walking gait wasn't quite right. My physical therapist suggested walking more on the inside of the foot. I tried, but my leg wouldn't hold my weight upright like it had been. I got a look at the back of my heel in the mirror, and I saw that the outside ankle was extremely swollen, and the heel was bent out of shape.
I sent photos the the surgeon. He scheduled an X-ray. As soon as he got the results, he sent me to another surgeon. This surgeon told me that the has hardware failed (right on schedule), the bones have rebroken, and destroyed the cartilage and joint of the ankle, resulting in "end-stage arthritis." My ankle is destroyed. And he explained the only thing we can do is do an ankle fusion surgery, rendering my ankle unmovable, permanently disabling me.
He sent me immediately to get a blood test, which showed that I had "extremely low" vitamin D levels. The doctor prescribed vitamin D supplements.
Vitamin D is critical for processing calcium. If my first doctor had scheduled a blood test back in Feb/March when things weren't healing right, this would have been discovered and avoided. Now, the injury is far worse than the initial, and incurable. I described what was clearly arthritic pain, and he advised that I ignore it and "wait and see." If I had known this could ever have been a possibility, I would have done anything but "wait and see." The only way this kind of complication normally happens is a random infection that goes undetected. This was a lazy doctor who didn't care to do a simple blood test, and told me to rely on hardware he knew was going to fail.
I just can't believe this completely avoidable, life-ruining event has occurred because of such a stupid mistake. I am going to be out of work for months, and I have no idea how much this will cost me. No amount of money could compensate, but if there was a chance of some compensation, it would be better than nothing. I already got nothing from the person who hit me with their car. Now this is the second time a part of my body is being taken from me by the negligence of another person.

2024.05.18 03:14 charliet_1802 Please help. At my wits end
Hi, 22M sufferer from Mexico here. Long context here (I mix tenses because, yeah haha) :
Height: 172 cm, Weight: 54 kg (I've always been skinny, you know, that kind of person who can eat a lot and don't gain weight, well, I also think that's because besides my genetics, I had always been an active person)
Here's a list of my symtopms, I didn't mention some on the story
I really don't know what to do because my parents have no money for tests nor treatment and I don't have either (I don't earn much, besides I have to buy my own food and meds). I can't stop Dexilant because I've tried and my esophagus just doesn't handle it well (cold turkey, wean off, I've tried it and it's the same in the long-term). Here where I live nobody knows about SIBO and aren't tests available, so I can't say if I have it. The public system health in Mexico is terrible also, I tried it for my GERD at first and I received the worst treatment and I obviously wasn't rude by any means :(. I haven't tried more extreme approaches such as ED or carnivore since I don't know what's the best for me because as I said, I just suppose that my glucose levels go down easily. I can eat high-protein and high-fat and low-carb and still feel weak. Is it the PPI? Is it leaky gut? Is it stress? I don't know.
I've thought about getting a better job where they give me a nice private health insurance, but besides it isn't that easy to get a nice job, I get discouraged by these symtopms and not being able to focus properly and have to fight all day with these symptoms. I know stress is a huge factor for me, but how not feel that way when I don't know a s*it about life and since this age I have to deal with a lot.
I've felt suicidal a lot of times. You should understand, it isn't like I want to die, I just don't know how to get better and stop suffering while trying to do every single thing you're supposed to. I just want to be able to hang out with my friends, have fun and live a life as the young person I am :(.
Thank you for reading :)

Height: 172 cm, Weight: 54 kg (I've always been skinny, you know, that kind of person who can eat a lot and don't gain weight, well, I also think that's because besides my genetics, I had always been an active person)
- July 2021 *
- August 2021 * After a month only an increased burping (for what's normal) remained, so I went to a gastroenterologist. He told me to take Dexilant instead of omeprazole, since it was the best med for GERD and gastritis. I started taking it and felt an improvement on my burping. He also ordered some testing, barium swallow and a endoscopy. They found a small hiatal hernia (2 cm), a lax LES, mild esophagitis and mild gastritis.
- January 2022 * After vacation where I ate as if I was healthy, I started feeling a weird sensation of hunger (like gas travelling in my stomach and intestines), but not in a normal way as hunger usually feels, terrible nausea, so awful that I was bedridden, what now I know is brain fog, decreased energy and increased burping again. I was also dealing with was apparently an UTI, so I was prescribed an antibiotic for it. I discovered, after years of having intermittent symptoms of UTI, that it was never an UTI because tests showed nothing and it always resolved on their own. Obviously those antibiotics made me feel worse, but as they thought it was just a bacterial GI infection, they gave me more antibiotics. I learned then how terrible antibiotics were because for the first time in my life they made me feel awful. At that time I was studying uni online because of * fkn pandemic *. I was eating only chicken and rice and feeling hungry but full all the time (in a gastritis way, I'd say)
- February 2022 * A friend of mine told me that her sister was a nutrionist (not a functional nor a SIBO knowledgeable though), so I went with her and she gave me a menu and told me to try probiotics. I bought a commercial ones (Bacillus clausii I think, only 2 billion CFU) and at the end of the 5 days that they lasted, I started feeling better. Suddenly I was optimistic, the nausea was gone, the weird gas feeling was gone and my energy was back. Brain fog was still there, but at a minimum. At that time my uni decided to go back to physical classes, so I enjoyed my recovered health.
- March 2022 * I had a throat infection and took antibiotics (terrible decision). Since the first dose all my symptoms came back. I became suicidal at that point because I struggled so much on pandemic with depression and anxiety due to lockdown and when I was finally able to go back to a normal life, now I was terribly sick. My parents wanted to fix the GERD issue so they paid the two tests (manometry and 24 pH test) needed to determine what kind of fundoplication the surgeon could do. After those tests it came back that I was candidate for Nissen, but the surgeon didn't want to perform it because he wanted to wait for insurance to cover it. My parents and I were mad, but I was again trying probiotics to see if I felt better. I did, not as good as before, but better. At that time I also met a girl who became my girlfriend, so that helped me too. Didn't know how, but suddenly I could eat anything, except spicy food, only with more burping, but I didn't have issues. But, a weird feeling of being off has been with me since this all started (brain fog? It's like feeling that you're living a life that's not yours and everything feels alien to you). From there on every time I had a throat infection I requested injectable antibiotics (I can say that it really helps to not mess up with my microbiome)
- March 2023 * My gastritis gets worse (more burping and feeling full fast) and I go on a bland diet. After two weeks it gets better and I try to eat pizza. No problems. A week after that I wake up feeling as if I was hit by a truck. I was insanely tired and with flu symptoms. I thought it was just another flu. After some days I was still feeling that way, so I go to the doctor and he says it's a bacterial infection and prescribes what they usually do, of course, with an injectable antibiotic. Flu goes away after a few days, but fatigue remains. To cope with fatigue I decide to eat some chips and all those weird symptoms come back. It feels as if I wasn't digesting a thing, with all that gas travelling inside my gut, but not in a way of trapped gas, I didn't feel bloated at that time.
- April 2023 * After a few days, I don't know what to do, I get a blood work done and it shows no deficiencies in minerals (they don't test for vitamines, it's a separate test which costs much more). An ultrasound also don't show anything abnormal on my GI tract. I was eating eggs, chicken, rice and avocado. My gf gets sick of me being sick and leaves me after tough months due to my illness (don't want to dig on it, but, cheated on me, basically). I'm heavily depressed, but convinced to get my health back and I use that as motivation. I start my research and discover SIBO and so much more that I'd like to know before. I don't know where to begin due to the GERD and lax LES thing, but I drop gluten (I was dairy free already) and experiment with several diets, keto, low-carb, low FODMAPs, low acid, but as time goes by, my symptoms only get worse and now I deal with bloating and occasional constipation. Magnesium helps with constipation at its worse.
- May 2023 * I discover functional medicine, do my research and find an institute where I live. An appointment is expensive, but I think it's worth it. I go there, explain all my symptoms, and the doctor talks to me about leaky gut. It seems interesting. She suggests a food sensitivity test and I see that I'm sensitive to gluten, any dairy related food, and eggs. The only thing I was still eating was eggs. That test also covered candida and it showed a little overgrowth. I tried fluconazole and grapefruit seed extract, but didn't feel anything different nor better at the end of the course. After that, she just sent me a generic treatment, which made me feel gaslighted and stopped going with her.
- June 2023 * My dad, desperate, calls the surgeon to see if the surgery would help me, and he says that he doesn't recommend the surgery for me due to my other issues (he's right, I was already having trapped gas, it'd be worse). We also got mad at that time because he said other bad things about the surgery that he didn't say before, so he also seemed like a person we couldn't trust, but at least he told the truth about the surgery not being ideal for me.
- August 2023 * I'm following an unnamed diet, just avoiding processed stuff, and while it doesn't make me feel amazing, it makes me feel stable. I also get a job as software engineer from home (an informal job, without benefits, but it's a good opportunity to make some money and be able to buy more things that could help me).
- January 2024 * After eating some processed foods every now and then, it seems that I shouldn't have done that and I switch from occasional constipation with well-formed stool to loose stool, cramps and a weird mix of feeling like I want to poop all the time, but it's trapped gas, but sometimes it's poop, but it's loose, but I have to push it and sometimes it just comes out (sorry for being so descriptive haha). I stop eating raw salads and fruits and stick to chicken, avocado, rice cakes, walnuts and almonds. It helps and I can occasionally eat processed food with a little discomfort.
- Present * After sticking to those foods for months, I start feeling worse and now the weird pooping situation gets more uncomfortable and I feel like I need to poop all day, but when I go, sometimes it's just gas and sometimes it comes out a lot and sometimes a little. Dexilant made my stool darker, but since taking digestive enzymes it became lighter and it's more yellow than brown to say it somehow. There's no mucus as far as I can tell (it has been, but not recently, the same goes for blood). I also experience abdominal pain on a daily basis, sometimes it feels on the stomach and sometimes it feels on my intestines (seems like a mix of gastritis + whatever is going on on my gut).
Here's a list of my symtopms, I didn't mention some on the story
- Bloating (my abdomen doesn't look like a balloon, but man, I can feel the gas pushing my insides)
- Abdominal pain (fullness in stomach or in intestines)
- Fatigue
- Farting when gas decides to come out
- Cramps
- Brain fog
- Migraines
- Excessive burping
- That weird mix between constipation and diarrhea
- Sometimes trapped gas on my esophagus
- Sometimes spasms/twitches all over my body (if that's the expression)
- Bad breath
- Intermittently, a sharp pain under my right rib (it feels as if something was going to explode, but only lasts a few seconds and it can happen after eating or while eating, but this isn't common, and I think it's gas on my large intestine because when my bloating gets worse, I get this pain, besides, eating high fat foods don't always trigger it, so I doubt it's my gallbladder or liver)
- Hunger all the time, which leads me to eat more, but then I feel worse, but I can eat a lot, feel terribly full and after a few hours feel hungry again as if I hadn't eat a thing in years. I feel kinda hypoglicemic and that's when I have intense headaches. That's why I think keto is not for me, when I tried it I lost 6 kilos in only 2 weeks. As I said, I've always been skinny but needed to eat a lot, the difference now is that I feel sick. But, to clarify, I do feel hunger and my stomach growls, which I know is good, but not so good when it seems that there's no way of getting enough nutrients without discomfort
I really don't know what to do because my parents have no money for tests nor treatment and I don't have either (I don't earn much, besides I have to buy my own food and meds). I can't stop Dexilant because I've tried and my esophagus just doesn't handle it well (cold turkey, wean off, I've tried it and it's the same in the long-term). Here where I live nobody knows about SIBO and aren't tests available, so I can't say if I have it.

I've felt suicidal a lot of times. You should understand, it isn't like I want to die, I just don't know how to get better and stop suffering while trying to do every single thing you're supposed to. I just want to be able to hang out with my friends, have fun and live a life as the young person I am :(.
Thank you for reading :)

2024.05.17 22:24 Ok-Training-9414 CIN, VAIN, and now VIN
33, female, non smoker, USA
I was diagnosed with high risk, not 16/18/45 last summer. Hell followed after. I had a LEEP for CIN 2 and they discovered VAIN 1 at the time. Lucky me. He removed it during the LEEP. Had redness in December and asked to biopsy. He would not. Two months later I asked another gyno to biopsy. She would not. A few weeks ago a derm visually diagnosed me with LS. Would not biopsy. I knew I had VIN and no one would biopsy. I could see it.
Finally went to a vulvar specialist who biopsied. Came back VIN 1.
1) At this point, is there any explanation or concern as to why at 33 years old I have/had CIN, VAIN, and VIN? Why is my body doing this to me?
2) vulvar specialist said it’s not big deal and the aldara makes the HPV go away. So is LSIL caused by high risk strains not a cause for concern? How is any precancer not a concern?
3). I know I’ll likely end up with AIN too. Should I just get anal paps yearly?
4) I cleared HPV on my cervix and vaginal walls. Confirmed via pap and home test. Will they now get reinfected from the vulvar infection?
This vulvar specialist has prescribed Aldara three times a week for 4 months.
I wouldn’t mind going to sleep and simply not waking. Running from all this for nearly a year and always being right about my own health has been exhausting.
I just don’t get it. I get sick once a year and thought I was healthy. Guess not.
I’m taking mushrooms extracts, a quality vitamin, probiotics.
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.16 16:01 tehhammerz Apple NF Monoxide #9 - Unstoppable Eventual Winners NF Western Sahara #68

She Done Already Done Had Herses!
Welcome to the NINTH (already) edition of Apple NF Monoxide - a surprisingly important one. If I manage to get into the next edition, I am preparing both for, well, edition 69 and for my potential 10th NF, meaning this has to be a special one. For that reason, I have meticulously analysed all songs ever sent to RSC and chose 6 songs that could potentially have won every edition so far. If you thought Aerobika was great, wait until you hear these!
Important note: Apple Monoxide is joking in the above paragraph. This is a bog standard Apple NF stacked with memes. He still isn't attempting to qualify, and is actually hoping to match his previously existing NQ streak at some point in 2027. I just had way too many songs I wanted to send this edition and I have at least two more NFs in the oven, so I had to slowly get rid of some. I hope you understand :)
My theme for this NF was choosing between three styles of songs: songs I have nostalgia for, obscure musical discoveries I ran into on Spotify and unorthodox remixes of existing songs. All three styles were actually 'shaping up' to be NF ideas of their own, but I decided there's no way in hell I actually find both enough songs for all of these and enough motivation to host all of these, so I chose two favourites from each and made this NF. I hope you enjoy. You won't, but I hope you do!
I will make spotify and recap.tube later
Youtube is here though
Vote by ranking the songs from 1st (best) to 6th (worst) in my DMs on reddit or discord (preferably discord). Apple Monoxide.
The deadline is 22nd May, the day of song submissions, at 17:30BST/18:30CEST.
Thank you everyone, and best of luck to you in this edition!

I just had way too many songs I wanted to send this edition and I have at least two more NFs in the oven, so I had to slowly get rid of some. I hope you understand :)
My theme for this NF was choosing between three styles of songs: songs I have nostalgia for, obscure musical discoveries I ran into on Spotify and unorthodox remixes of existing songs. All three styles were actually 'shaping up' to be NF ideas of their own, but I decided there's no way in hell I actually find both enough songs for all of these and enough motivation to host all of these, so I chose two favourites from each and made this NF. I hope you enjoy. You won't, but I hope you do!
| Draw | Artist | Song | Style | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Shorty | Zeka | Nostalgia | This is a Croatian song I really enjoyed when I was around 4 because it sampled a children's song - now I understand the lyrics and I wonder what my parents were thinking. Also, Shorty vanished somewhere about 15 years ago and I have no idea where he is or if he's even alive, xd |
| 02 | Blessings Chisama | Universe | Obscure | Blessings Chisama is just some Malawian guy who is really good at playing guitar. I have no idea how I came across this but I love it |
| 03 | Robzzz | kusha las paya (remix) | Remix | Robzzz, a friend of fan-favourite Nerve Agent, decided to mess with a song by Las Ketchup, amazingly |
| 04 | Vinkuja | Miks Turhaan | Remix | finnish weezer bottom text |
| 05 | Icy L | Standa Řezáč Swag | Obscure | Continuing the Czech cinematic universe, a song about a cross-country skier's terrible interview |
| 06 | Pawel Blaszczak | Turtles | Nostalgia | I found it very funny when I discovered that the same guy who composed music for The Witcher and Dying Light also made the soundtrack of this football game I played in 2007 |
I will make spotify and recap.tube later
Youtube is here though
Vote by ranking the songs from 1st (best) to 6th (worst) in my DMs on reddit or discord (preferably discord). Apple Monoxide.
The deadline is 22nd May, the day of song submissions, at 17:30BST/18:30CEST.
Thank you everyone, and best of luck to you in this edition!
2024.05.16 13:00 annihilation_is_all 2nd time of reinstating citalopram - 5 months in and akathisia
Hi all, looking for some advice/support. I've been on citalopram 20mg for about 11 years now. When first going on I suffered with really bad anxiety/depressive side effects, but these passed after a few months. I would get the occasional bad week during my time on the medication, where the start up symptoms would come back briefly, but other than that was ok on them.
In 2019 I tried coming off the medication for the first time. The advice from my doctor was go down to 10mg for a month, then one every other day for a month. Surprise surprise, as a lot of people have experienced, there were horrible withdrawal symptoms - tinnitus, vertigo, and intense panic and anxiety. After a week or so of being off them I had to reinstate. Once again I had the awful start up symptoms, horrendous anxiety, agitation and very dark thoughts.
It was after this episode that I discovered the surviving antidepressants website and all the information about how these drugs should be tapered. Something none of the doctors I've seen over the years seem to know anything about.
I decided in June 2022 to try again. This time trying a slower taper. I only had access to a pill cutter (doctors couldn't help with any other methods), so reduced by 2.5mg every two months until I reached 10mg in March 2023. I paused here as each reduction got increasingly tougher, and thought the next drop might be too much. I started getting some physical symptoms in November of heart palpitations etc, putting it down to other things, then in December the anxiety/panic/depression returned in full force. I was in a panic and on my doctor's advice reinstated my citalopram back up to 20mg.
The side effects were just as awful as the first two times, but this time they seemed to go on and on. It took about 3 months before I started getting some relief from the intense anxiety, but I would have a brief period of things feeling like they were getting better, only for it to all come back. Reading on other forums, I guess this is the wave/window experience. I'm now 5 months in and experiencing another wave. After researching more about the symptoms, I believe the intense anxiety/agitation is more likely to be akathisia - my doctor wanted me to increase my dose from 20mg to 40mg which I was very resistant to (all the advice said this could make the agitation worse), so I believe I did the right thing here.
I guess I'm just looking to see if others have experienced anything familiar - what did you do/have you done? Is there anything that has helped you get through it?
I'm on propranolol but that doesn't seem to help much. I have some diazepam prescribed but don't generally take it for fear of becoming dependant (the few times I have taken it it didn't really touch the sides). I see a kinesiologist who had recommended supplements - b6, vitamin E (she believes my levels of the hormone prolactin are unusually high, something I read about on an akathisia page somewhere, so not sure if balancing this could help), amongst others like lions mane and reishi.
I also read that the antihistamine diphenhydramine (Nytol here in the UK, Benadryl in the US) can provide relief from akathisia - I tried some of this last week which gave me a brilliant day, felt back to my old self, only for things to go downhill again. It feels like it takes the edge off, but that is it.
Sorry for the long post, just desperate for some help and for some light at the end of the tunnel. This has been a particularly bad few days again, and my thoughts are getting increasingly darker.
Thanks all

2024.05.16 11:22 Prior_Ambassador_293 Optimal diet for height growth
I am 16 yo 163 cm, my father 165cm mother 160 cm Testosterone 943 ng/dl (naturally high testosterone) Human Growth Hormone (STH) - 10.7 ng/ml Males 0.5 - 3
I have just recently discovered the carnivore diet I believe carnivore or at least an animal based diet is the optimal human diet. But the reason im posting this if anyone knows how to optimize my height on this diet or is it more optimal than animal based (with fruit as carbs ) Looking back historically we were taller as hunter gatherers than after we switched to primarily farmers As for mineral deficiency i believe that they are non existent with carnivore because we know for a fact that plant food have anti nutrients that inhibit mineral absorption. Dr. Anthony MD (a well known carnivore)also notes that people do not need calcium from dairy as they can get everything they need from meat. Studies show that drinking milk and having a lot of calcium did not significantly help bone density or osteoporosis, and some showed worse results. Some civilizations and populations thrive on dairy, but many people in the world can have serious problems with it. As for vitamin C Profesor Bart Kay also explains that the need for vitamin C is significantly decreased on a carnivore diet due to minimal carbohydrate intake, as the same transporter responsible for carrying glucose also absorbs vitamin C. If someone relies on meat for both energy and vitamin C while also consuming carbs, the vitamin C may not enter cells effectively, leading to potential deficiencies. However, with a meat-only diet, the GLUT4 transporter, typically engaged in glucose transport, can instead transport vitamin C, reducing the risk of deficiencies. Kay cites examples of individuals who have followed a carnivore diet for extended periods without developing scurvy to support his theory.
I have confirmed that I have open growth plates I am also planning on taking an AI such as Anastrazole, IGF-1 LR3 and MK677 to support my height.
Anyone please feel free to add on to what I have stated as to that I am very open to change my mind and can take any advice provided

2024.05.16 08:34 Propaganda1984 If you’re stuck at $500 MRR
For most SaaS founders, it’s not because your marketing sucks.
It’s because it lacks clarity.
My 11 questions marketing clarity audit can help you with that.
What is the Zeitgeist? - What's happening in the world/ecosystem right now that could affect your market and, therefore, your growth?
What's really my business? - Make sure to identify your business — it's often not what you think it is. e.g. If you’re in the coaching business, you really are in the motivation business
What is the real problem in my market? - Usually, if you've answered the other two questions correctly, you'll discover this problem (and it's often different from what you think).
How sophisticated is my market? - This can be determined by analyzing the sellers/buyers in your market and the size of the market (the more sellers, the more promises, the more sophisticated the market, THUS the more skeptical).
How mature is my market? - The more mature the market, the more demanding it will be and the more it will reject BS.
What is the main emotion of the market? - The emotion that makes your audience feel fulfilled.
Do I have an audience of 0 or 100? - 0 being those who are just discovering the market, the problem, etc.
Am I selling a painkiller or a vitamin? - Better sell a painkiller (ALWAYS)
What is the audience's awareness level? - Basically, what your audience knows about the offers in the market and what you offer.
What is my positioning? - Does the audience know where to place me in their minds?
Can I say my offer in one simple sentence? - Can you say what you offer in one clear sentence?
P.S. Beyond marketing, your product has to be good, and the churn rate is a good way to know if that’s the case.

2024.05.16 06:39 lencaleena TPO AB / Help with Hashi Diet/Advise needed please
Hello I have been eating Brazil nuts, 1-2 a day, taking zinc biglycinate 15mg every other day, 200mg of Magnesium Glycinate every night and 5000ui of D3 every day. I am not sure if I should add K2 100mcg because I am getting conflicting information everywhere as to whether it can cause blood clotting or you need to have a ratio with k1, I just don't know so I haven't touched it yet but anyway after about 1 month of doing this my TPO AB went from 1600 to 1000, and Thyroglobulin AB is still the same at 600. Also found out I have 2 nodules in my parathyroid gland, but I was told they are not going to do anything about it because my PTH levels are normal and calcium at the time it was discovered 1.5 years ago.
Also, can anyone please tell me the best Hashimoto's diet/food they eat that has helped them with severe fatigue, bloating, and 100% inability to poop(I seriously need help on my constipation, the probiotics my gastro suggested caused my constipation to be way worse and it hasn't recovered since stopping them 3 weeks ago, I used to go once a week, now its once every 1.5 weeks. My cat Marley poops at least 8x the amount each week than I do.
Weight gain...Prior to being diagnosed with Lymphocytic Thyroiditis, I never understood how people were unable to lose weight, I was one of those people who really just didn't understand I am 35yr old male 5'9 2 years ago when I was diagnosed I weighed 150lbs I exercised, did kick boxing for fun to stay in shape after all of a sudden getting extremely fatigued and not know what was happening i got the diagnosis. I went from 150lbs to 180lbs in 1 year and the next year(currently now) I weigh 213lbs. I am starting to gain energy back especially after starting Tirosint which after going through generic and 4 brand names its a god send to me on top on my vitamins. I still have chronic fatigue but at least I can walk up 3 steps in my house without having palpitations and being so tired and needing to rest for a few hours to recover or staying in bed for days because no matter how much sleep i got I never felt I slept. I started to believe i had narcolepsy, I would fall asleep everywhere at inappropriate places and times, i could not help it. Okay enough of all that so I paid to see a dietician which ill admit i do not have much money and it was everything I had to see this guy and he gave me the worse advise ever to eat. I should have known while i watched him google hashimoto diets during our appointment. Please if anyone could tell me their diets that has helped them tremendously i would be so thankful, also I can't afford to go see a functional Dr or a motility specialist so please no one tell me that I already know, I am seeking advice here, and if anyone knows how I can cure my leaky gut and bloating. I have a bag of L glutamine, but I haven't tried it yet other than that I would like advice please anyone. thank you, sorry for the long-life story.
sorry one last question does Hashimoto's/constipation cause breathing issues? I have always had mild asthma, but my breathing has become really bad with wheezing and scratchy throat. Im not sure if its hashis or where I live, im renting and the floor is asbestos tiles covered by peel and stick laminate tiles as well as lead paint on the window frames which i will paint over when I have the money for paint(renting from my sister for very cheap and she won't buy the paint, in case anyone says its landlords responsibility, I am saving to move, because i dont trust the asbestos and mold in laundry room), XRAY showed nothing in lungs, my pulmonologist thinks it might have something to do with my vocal cords? My albuterol has no effect on it and I was given Symbicort which does not help at all either, in fact all it does is give me a headache and make my pulse go up to 120bpm i guess because they're both beta-agonist. Please anyone any advice on diet and anything else I asked would highly appreciate it. Thank you

2024.05.15 23:17 gossamer_gubble54 Undiagnosed EDS and *rare* inflammatory kidney disease
I haven't been able to get an EDS diagnosis as, although all the markers are there (and some of Marfan) my bloods didn't have the correct indicators.
I have a diagnosis of HSD (which is quite bad) but also of a chronic inflammation disease of the kidneys which I've had since birth. I also had a kidney removed about 5 years ago owing to excruciating pain and ill health for a year that was seemingly undiagnosable - despite the diagnosed "disease"??! Don't even get my started on how stupid it all was, it was medical gaslighting and negligence.. however the kidney (singular) failure also did not show up in my bloodwork, or look obscure (any more obscure than usual) in the ultrasounds. Although there was visible and explainable reasons for the pain outlined by the histology report following surgery.
I therefore believe and operate under the assumption that I do have EDS.. and that my inflammation of the kidneys is also a complication of my connective tissue. I could go and get a second opinion, and I could also get genetic testing to discover if there's an issue there. For the time being, the rheumatologist did confirm there is a connective tissue problem and that's what I attempt to manage.
I struggle with my energy and mobility to a certain degree but am very lucky that I can mostly manage day to day life with some accommodations and if I go slower, bring snacks, take rests etc. It gets harder as time goes on.. and I will, at some point, go back to a rheumatologist but I kind of can't be bothered right now..
I feel as though I'm at the tipping point of my health in that, I can no longer keep up fully and I'm trying to find a new balance and find the right support. But often when I ask for help, I seem fine and get dismissed.! I am aiming to have an appointment with my new GP soon and think she's helpful and kind so will ask there too but would like to be prepared.
I'm not on any medications. I take vitamin D and sometimes magnesium and turmeric with black pepper. I'm trying to get stronger again also. Was very sad I had to give up sports, but the recovery time is just not worth it. Trying to get stronger again through exercises and hypermobile friendly stretches. I've also done a significant amount of grounding and balancing of my nervous system. I have also been tested for PCOS through several ultrasounds and do not have this.
I have four areas I'd like advice:
I can still work but can't do 40+ hours unless it's mostly remote and I can work in bed. I also can't work on my feet anymore unless it's like 1/ 2 days a week and I spend the next day in bed. I really want to work (and would, in another life, be working outdoors/ with kids and camping all the time) but am limited by my options. I'm looking for a new job now but scared of being at work 40 hours a week and asleep or in bed for the remaining time.
Sorry it's so long, any help or advice appreciated :)

I have a diagnosis of HSD (which is quite bad) but also of a chronic inflammation disease of the kidneys which I've had since birth. I also had a kidney removed about 5 years ago owing to excruciating pain and ill health for a year that was seemingly undiagnosable - despite the diagnosed "disease"??! Don't even get my started on how stupid it all was, it was medical gaslighting and negligence.. however the kidney (singular) failure also did not show up in my bloodwork, or look obscure (any more obscure than usual) in the ultrasounds. Although there was visible and explainable reasons for the pain outlined by the histology report following surgery.
I therefore believe and operate under the assumption that I do have EDS.. and that my inflammation of the kidneys is also a complication of my connective tissue. I could go and get a second opinion, and I could also get genetic testing to discover if there's an issue there. For the time being, the rheumatologist did confirm there is a connective tissue problem and that's what I attempt to manage.
I struggle with my energy and mobility to a certain degree but am very lucky that I can mostly manage day to day life with some accommodations and if I go slower, bring snacks, take rests etc. It gets harder as time goes on.. and I will, at some point, go back to a rheumatologist but I kind of can't be bothered right now..
I feel as though I'm at the tipping point of my health in that, I can no longer keep up fully and I'm trying to find a new balance and find the right support. But often when I ask for help, I seem fine and get dismissed.! I am aiming to have an appointment with my new GP soon and think she's helpful and kind so will ask there too but would like to be prepared.

2024.05.15 22:55 gossamer_gubble54 Undiagnosed EDS and *rare* inflammatory kidney disease
I haven't been able to get an EDS diagnosis as, although all the markers are there (and some of Marfan) my bloods didn't have the correct indicators.

2024.05.15 19:39 Prior_Ambassador_293 Height growth on Carnivore
I am 16 yo 163 cm, my father 165cm mother 160 cm Testosterone 943 ng/dl (naturally high testosterone) Human Growth Hormone (STH) - 10.7 ng/ml Males 0.5 - 3
I have just recently discovered the carnivore diet I believe carnivore or at least an animal based diet is the optimal human diet. But the reason im posting this if anyone knows how to optimize my height on this diet or is it more optimal than animal based (with fruit as carbs ) Looking back historically we were taller as hunter gatherers than after we switched to primarily farmers As for mineral deficiency i believe that they are non existent with carnivore because we know for a fact that plant food have anti nutrients that inhibit mineral absorption. Dr. Anthony MD (a well known carnivore)also notes that people do not need calcium from dairy as they can get everything they need from meat. Studies show that drinking milk and having a lot of calcium did not significantly help bone density or osteoporosis, and some showed worse results. Some civilizations and populations thrive on dairy, but many people in the world can have serious problems with it. As for vitamin C Profesor Bart Kay also explains that the need for vitamin C is significantly decreased on a carnivore diet due to minimal carbohydrate intake, as the same transporter responsible for carrying glucose also absorbs vitamin C. If someone relies on meat for both energy and vitamin C while also consuming carbs, the vitamin C may not enter cells effectively, leading to potential deficiencies. However, with a meat-only diet, the GLUT4 transporter, typically engaged in glucose transport, can instead transport vitamin C, reducing the risk of deficiencies. Kay cites examples of individuals who have followed a carnivore diet for extended periods without developing scurvy to support his theory.
I have confirmed that I have open growth plates I am also planning on taking an AI such as Anastrazole, IGF-1 LR3 and MK677 to support my height.
Anyone please feel free to add on to what I have stated as to that I am very open to change my mind and can take any advice provided

2024.05.15 18:47 BugMillionaire Recently diagnosed with deficiency, a bit overwhelmed by all the information here.
Hello there. Recently went to a new doctor who discovered I have a nonanemic B12 and Vit D deficiency. I'm so overwhelmed by all the info about cofactors and "Wake up Symptoms" and watching for deficiencies in other areas...its a lot. (I didn't even know how to flare my post because I don't know what I'm looking for here lol)
Allow me to just brain dump for a moment and if anyone can offer any guidance, I appreciate it.
Here are the relevant lab numbers for reference:
I know everyone is different, but is that aggressive enough or a long enough duration? She also didn't say anything about supplementing folate, which I see here is recommended. My levels were on the high end of normal though, so maybe she accounted for that?
I'm also supplementing 50,000 units of Vitamin D once a week for four weeks, then a lower amount ongoing for maintenance. I did notice a big improvement within a day of my first big dose.
I ordered the Thorne 2/day as recommended in the guide. I figure a multivitamin can't hurt.
QUESTION: Should I add in folate supp too? Should I supplement with B12 now while doing injections?
A bit of my background: I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at 19 years old (I'm 34 now) and at 25 finally got a ADHD diagnosis. I know B12 deficiency can cause symptoms that resemble both of these but I do believe the ADHD diagnosis is correct because the symptoms have been apparent my entire life.
Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis I'm not totally sure of. I started having symptoms after I got Mono at 15. But over the years I've wondered if its not actually something else (possibly hypermobility b/c that's comorbid with ADHD). All that to say, I don't think I've always had a B12 deficiency so I don't think that's the cause of these issues.
Here are the ongoing symptoms I've experienced for almost 20 years now that could be Fibro or low B12 (or both):
I also take a 10-20mgs stimulant for ADHD which may have masked some of the increasing fatigue and weakness. I noticed in the last year or so that when I don't take the stimulant, I am DEAD tired. Like, could fall asleep at the drop of a hat and almost every movement is a challenge. I was actually worried that I was becoming addicted to the stimulant because without it I felt so fatigued without it but now I wonder if it's actually the low B12. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
Moving forward: After reading through the Guide, I understand that cessation of symptoms is a better indicator of recovery than lab numbers, but how will I really know things are working if these symptoms do not actually ever fully go away? Am I just looking for a lessening? And if my symptoms do clear up entirely, do I actually not have Fibromyalgia?? I actually don't even know what's normal way to feel anymore so I have no frame of reference lol.
QUESTION: What are "Wake up" symptoms? I see that referenced here but I can't find a definitive definition.
My head is spinning. LOL.
If you read all this, I appreciate you!

Allow me to just brain dump for a moment and if anyone can offer any guidance, I appreciate it.
Here are the relevant lab numbers for reference:
- Vitamin D - 15.8 NG/mL
- B12 - 124pg/mL
- Folate - 19.4 NG/mL (within normal range)
- I also noticed in the report that my MCH and MCHC are both on the cusp of being in the deficient range (which I guess could indicate anemia) but still considered normal.
I know everyone is different, but is that aggressive enough or a long enough duration? She also didn't say anything about supplementing folate, which I see here is recommended. My levels were on the high end of normal though, so maybe she accounted for that?
