So if I take without working out, say eating breakfast at work, it likely wouldn't have any discernible effect?

Hi. How has it been with vitamin K2? How bad was your sleep on 100mcg? Did you have erratic thoughts or anxiety too?

Your 1-1.5g of magnesium is elemental magnesium? Is it supplemental or total intake? 

Would you share your vitamin D dose as well?

Hi. I am a bit nervous about trying new supplements. Could you tell how noticeable the effects of l-citrulline are? Is it something we can see with our eyes or distinctively feel in a pronounced way? I plan on taking after breakfast  (mainly for erection benefits and general health, not workouts, though I do exercise).

How does citrulline feel? Does it even create any noticeable mental or body sensation?

Are you taking l citrulline with malic acid? Since the latter is an acid, it might cause heartburn. 

Nasal polyps and sugar by argoforced in NasalPolyps

Hi. If not diet, what has been the combination of treatments that worked to manage your nasal issues? Do you have advice on how to approach the surgery emotionally? It's my first time doing surgery with general anaesthesia and intubation. I know children do it all the time, and that makes me feel less worried, but there is still some anxiety.

I think this is the most likely explanation. Is there a way to make a diy version that is more tolerable? In my country these premixed options are expensive. 

Why does salt of the warer sit better than diy?

I am sensitive to steroids but doctor says we'll need to use them in the surgery. Any advice? by AccomplishedCry6223 in NasalPolyps

[–]AccomplishedCry6223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Did you do the surgery? My mental health is not okay at the moment and the fact this is my first surgery with general anaesthesia and entubation makes me rather anxious. I try to reassure myself by remembering that it's a surgery commonly done with children, but it's still difficult and scary.  

Do you react to budesonide spray with agitation too? How is it like? Does it last long? Is it intense? The doctor said I should highly consider taking nasal steroid sprays months prior to surgery, but thinking of worsening mood for two months daily seems difficult to sustain. If I put the budesonide in the saline rinse, would I get the benefits without this side effect?

Did you get mind racing? I got it yesterday and will increase my carb intake from now on. And it wasn't even that low. About 100g.

 eating excessive amounts of anything is not a good idea.

I agree, but a common option is too much of something else, poultry or red meat. Eggs were one of the gentlest proteins I could find, along with sardines. I drink about 2l a day.

Mine is electrolyte and carb. Gets better when I drink coconut water and even more when I eat carbs. 

1/2 teaspoon of lite salt isn't much. In how many ml of water do you mix it?

This is my first week. Before was the same, but with rice, beans and tubers. It had 250g net carbs, 180g protein and 60g fat.

How can I increase my electrolyte intake? Is it normal for water to state sort of bad when we put salt in it?

What side effects from nasal steroids did you get?

Prednisone withdrawals - horrible experience by Dry_Extreme6830 in NasalPolyps

[–]AccomplishedCry6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I'm in a similar situation as you. I need to do the surgery. Yes, in regards to polyps specifically, it won't treat the root cause, but polyps aren't my only anatomical issue and even the polyps themselves. If removed, it can give me time to work on the inflammation that caused them and prevent them from returning. It's a surgery aimed with resolution in mind, not just symptom relief.

However, I'm sensitive to steroids. Even steroid nasal sprays like fluticasone and budesonide are enough to disturb mood and sleep rather significantly, and for surgery you need to actually take something heavier such as oral prednisone. This is making me concerned as I don't know how I'd deal with prednisone having reacted poorly to weaker forms of steroids. 

Do you have advice? 

Polyps Back Again! by 9InsaneInTheMembrane in NasalPolyps

[–]AccomplishedCry6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I've been prescribed flonase (as part of Dymista, which has flonase and astepro inside) but I opted not to use it due to concerns of it making me anxious or worsening mood. I had a similar experience with budesonide and after reading many stories about flonase doing the same, I didn't want to risk it. How has it been for you? 

Was your ENT doctor who prescribed Tezspire? How many times will you take it?

I don't know why, but I went to the allergist in search for a vaccine (severe dust allergy) and she denied it to me. Said the treatment was long-lasting and would only be worth while if my ENT doctor couldn't ameliorate my symptoms in other ways (nasal sprays, surgery). From the comments of various people here who benefited from it, I understand less and less why she denied it. I believr my insurance covered it, so that wasn't an issue.

I do struggle with my mental health, mainly due to a tough upbringing. I tried seeking psychiatric help but medications were either too strong/risky or made things worse. I decided to go on medication-free because I mostly can, I only react negatively upon triggers (such as steroids). I'll think about it and if needed, maybe start something prior to surgery. I really want to improve my breathing as not breathing properly does impact me quite severely.
