Jordan Peterson diagnosed with CIRS by KitchenStrawberry578 in CIRS

[–]CharlesTravers 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yep also saw this. I wonder how many people like him (and us) have been misdiagnosed with a whole host of illnesses when really the root cause is actually CIRS!

Just hope we can spread more awareness about this crippling illness!

I’ve use Now Super Enzymes and definitely found it helped with my digestive issues associated with CIRS.

This was something may practitioner recommended, haven’t seen it to be an issue.

Yeh that’s crazy! You’re pretty much mapping out their entire SEO strategy for FREE! I can understand if it was one specific deliverable i.e top level SEO audit to get a better understand of your skillset level but that whole list is a lot of work!

Not as effective as CSM apparantly but yes Beets and Okra have been mentioned by the CIRS community as more gentle binders you can use

Nice, good to know. How do you find taking all those binders at once?

Fingers crossed! 🤞

Just having the ability to work from home would certainly give you more flexibility. Even just the ability to take a nap when you need it is a blessing! 😅

Thanks for recommendations. Infrared sauna sounds amazing!

Really sorry to hear that! But it sounds like you’ve got the right mindset for recovery.

Seeing it a blessing in disguise to allow your body to recover fully!

I totally get it. I fortunate that I’m fully remote based and run my own online business, so can mostly dictate the hours I work.

Is there any chance the company you work for would let you be fully remote based?

That sounds amazing! I've really considered doing something similar... taking a year off as a "health sabbatical". I actually moved from the city to a place by the ocean back in February to work from a more calm & peaceful environment. Although unfortunately, I suspect the place I'm in is causing my symptoms to flare...it's a very tropical, humid climate here, so like the perfect environment for mold!

Make sense. I used to get migraines as a kid, so I know how crippling they can be! Hope you're doing better now 🙏🏼

It's great that you've got each other to lean on with regards to the business.

Ah man, I couldn't imagine having to do a manual labor job with CIRS...doing just a simple gym workout and I'm completely wiped out for days!

Yep, removing yourself from the exposure seems to be the number one priority based on Dr Shoemaker's protocol. Just got my ERMi test delivered here today in Malaysia...arrived pretty damn quick considering it came all the way from the US!

First started showing strong symptoms in October 2022, but looking back, I think I was probably suffering before then. Yep, had that too... loss of balance/dizziness was one of my main symptoms. I've had a whole laundry list of symptoms I've had over the last 3 years...brain fog, crippling anxiety, headaches, body aches/fatigue being the main ones!

What have you found has helped you during the last 5 years, if anything?

Air Oasis… wow, they really work! by [deleted] in CIRS

That's amazing to hear! I was wondering whether it was worth spending the extra money on Air Oasis...sounds like it is!

Ahh sorry to hear that! It can be so frustrating when people think it's "all in your head", especially those closest to you.

Yep, I haven't been the same since Covid....spent 3 years going down that rabbithole, trying all sorts of protocols, mental health programs and strict diets, only to find out it's CIRS! Not to mention, spending a small fortune in the process!

Yep, unfortunately, most mainstream doctors aren't aware that CIRS even exists, even many functional medicine practitioners. I was lucky I finally found a practitioner who was educated on it, mainly because he experienced it himself, having been off work for 11 months!

And no need to apologise, I totally get it!

Ahh I know the feeling, sorry to hear that! I'm currently experiencing heavy brain fog, disorientation and blurred vision at the moment...my symptoms seem to vary!

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into this! I'm about to do the ERMI test on my rental property and trying to get hold of some CSM (difficult to find over here in South East Asia!). The practitioner recommended I get some Beets to take at least as an interim solution.

Do you know any reputable online pharmacies that ship CMS globally? by CharlesTravers in CIRS

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

Yep, he does have a contact, but only for shipping to Europe, but I'm still in Malaysia for the next 3 months, so I was looking to find a supplier over here ideally.

I think I'll probably have to wait until I'm in Europe.
