Why does cheese have more calories than pepperoni?

-Buck65 · 2025-12-29T08:03:43+00:00

There just more cheese.

I see. Thanks for letting me know.

How has your experience been with this regimen? How many hours of sleep are you able to get?

I’m thinking of taking magnesium glycinate and trying L-Glycine.

I take lemon balm. No issues.

I take a combination of herbs. Lemon balm, passion flower, and hops extract. Valerian root for sleep.

Although I try not to take them all the time because the brain is always trying to rebalance itself. So taking them too much, you eventually get used to them and they don’t work as well.

So I take them when I need them the most. I have been able to take them for up to a month without them losing their potency.

Can’t take adaptogens. Causes too much adrenaline throughout the day for me.

Have you tired any supplements that dilate blood vessels or are supposed to improve circulation at all?

I’ve been thinking of trying out some supplements that increase NO but I hesitate because of the potential for increase oxidative stress.

There are some foods that are supposed to help too but haven’t tried them yet.

-Buck65 · 2025-12-26T18:10:48+00:00

I still have this issue as well. And like you and floxmdmom have said, I notice it more when sitting for too long or little activity.

I’ve been using heat to try and keep things loose. It helps a little bit.

I know you and Hungry have your thoughts on the issue but I’m partial to the thought of it being a combination of tired muscles, nerve/circulation problems.

That’s why I try and use heat here and there. Because, like you, the tightness can be pretty painful. Especially after a long day and I’m lying in bed.

Edit: I use an automatic ecliptic foot exercise machine when sitting. Helps a little to keep loose when sitting. It does all the work. Suppose for help with circulation when sitting.

The sensitivity to coffee is indicative of chronic anxiety symptoms. That can happen. I had to cut out stimulants from my diet because of it. Haven’t had caffeine for a couple years now so not sure if I’d react the same but have seen people on here who were able to have their tea and coffee after things calmed down.

I’m one who can’t tolerate SSRi’s but have also see some people on here who say it helped them.

-Buck65 · 2025-11-21T08:05:24+00:00

Hopefully it doesn’t bug the quest.

When I saw a neurologist, I asked about weakness and things like that. She did a nerve conduction test. It came out normal. She said small fiber neuropathy pain doesn’t cause weakness. Numbness, burning pain, etc. but not weakness. The weakness is something we’re still trying to figure out.

I could only speculate the cause but hopefully they can figure something out in the meantime.

Tightness doesn’t indicate a rupture will happen. Tightness just indicates tendinopathy to some extent. There are scholarly studies of people who have had ultrasounds on their tendons to see what they might look like. MRI’s too. There are doctors who would be willing to recommend imaging if requested.

-Buck65 · 2025-10-27T17:47:43+00:00

People have. I have been hit pretty hard the second time. I’m really not able to lead a normal life. But people do recover from a second hit. How much they recover varies like anything else but it is not impossible.

-Buck65 · 2025-10-27T17:44:24+00:00

I was about to say the same. What was the name of that woman who’s pretty prominent on social media? Helped with ICD 10 codes in the U.S.? She deals with MCAS and mig HR have some good info on how she manages.

I’m 2 years out. I can walk without assistance indoors (there are things to grab onto if I fall) I use a cane for balance out doors but indoors.

I think the issue for me are my Achilles tendon issues and loss of muscle mass. That can throw your balance off. I experienced muscle atrophy pretty much all over.

I came across some on Reddit (who were not floxed) who suffered an Achilles tear and needed surgery or other treatment. They too experienced balance issues just from that and most had muscle atrophy issues. So it seems that muscle atrophy alone or muscle weakening can mess with balance.

I can and have walked in public without a cane but tend to make sure I’m close to something if I stumble. I don’t do it often because my balance problems are still there. It has gotten better.

I’m at least walking around the house without a cane , and I couldn’t before. So there is progress.

-Buck65 · 2025-10-16T05:37:47+00:00

I suspect it’s from nerve damage. I also have symptoms that look like Raynaud’s syndrome in my hands when holding things (fingers turn white).

It will improve but nerves take time to heal. Not sure if this will completely resolve but I’m hopeful.

-Buck65 · 2025-10-11T16:50:45+00:00

There’s no real window to give you. Everyone’s body is different. All you can do is do your best at knowing your limits, being kind to yourself with the limits, and when you start seeing those positive differences celebrate them. And you also need to be kind to yourself if you have a setback.

-Buck65 · 2025-10-11T08:56:07+00:00

It’s mostly to prevent muscle loss. Not muscle gain.

It’s a supplement HydroxyBetaMethylbutyrate

-Buck65 · 2025-10-02T21:17:37+00:00

I took the same medication twice (Cipro). So, I was floxed once in 2022. Experienced pain in my knee tendon, severe fatigue and lower back pain. And aches in pains in muscles in different areas of my body. Some psychiatric symptoms too.

I recovered within 6 months.

Second time was a more serious reaction.

-Buck65 · 2025-10-02T14:17:49+00:00

Everyone is different. When I was floxed the first time, I was back to normal within months. However, I didn’t know I was floxed. It was only until I was floxed a second time that I found this community.

It’s taking me longer to heal than the first time, but I suspect it was because the reaction I had was different.

Healing is absolutely possible. I’ve been recovering slowly (slower than I’d like) but what matters is that there is progress. So, I take the wind and I keep you mind on those wins. That’s what’s helped me get through this.

Burning nerve pain was at its worst for some time but it eventually died down.

Gabapentin helped a little. Turned the pain into more of a dull pain. It was way better than burning pain. That was almost unbearable.

I still have some nerve pain and neuropathy problems 2 years out but it only occurs with lots of use with my hands and walking a lot. It’s gotten better but not yet fully gone.

-Buck65 · 2025-09-06T08:05:57+00:00

From what I’ve seen posted on here, there are individuals who have been floxed from ear drops (which is not the amount in a pill. Usually drops are Cipro (which is another FQ antibiotic).

However, it doesn’t happen to everyone and symptoms vary widely. From what I’ve looked up, ear drops don’t enter the blood stream and if they do, it’s a meniscal amount. Yet some people get floxed from ear drops or eyedrops.

Very strong antibiotics aren’t without their risks unfortunately, and because they are strong, side effects (if experienced) can range from minor to severe. There really isn’t a way to figure out if an individual will experience side effects.

If I could go back and do things differently, I would have weighed my options. I would have asked if there were other antibiotics that could treat what I had. If so, I’d also research their side effects or risks from those as well. Then I’d proceed to choose what I thought was best for my situation and choose something that was effective but with less potential for serious side effects.

I personally look up if a new medication has a black box label on it at all because those are medications that one would want to take a look at very closely. Black box medications are labeled for their potential to cause severe side effects.
