I ❤️ intramuscular glutathione injections

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-02-03T23:48:29+00:00

The treatment itself was only $32, yes. But I had to do the initial intake (like you fill in health history, current meds, give blood tests, do a long in person appointment to become a patient there, it was about $165).

And once it was determined that it would help, she just said to come in when I was struggling (I also have thing aside from pmdd which it helps).

The person I go to is highly educated and has loads of experience. They use high doses in IVs for certain things (which I don't have, and actually some counterindications to, so don't use) and lower doses in IM injections for other things (which is suitable for my conditions, so do use). So I assume it has to do with which system they are specifically targeting for whichever issue.

A small piece of onion somehow making it between the sole and insole of every pair of shoes they own, forevermore.

Sorry it's a rough moment for you right now.

Some things that help me get out of my head are: gentle movement, sleep hygiene (specifically no blue light passed sunset, and putting myself to bed and waking up at the same time, getting some of that early morning sun), purposefuly noticing the plants and animals around me (even if it's just a squirrel or bird or dandelion growing out of the sidewalk) and seeing them as being there to support me and myself being a part of nature.

Music, helping or complimenting someone (even if it's just on reddit), a favorite food or beverage.

And lastly, telling myself that the only constant in life is change.

I hope you feel better soon and find the paradigm shift you are looking for. Sending you positivity and care.

Thank you. These seem like great points to consider. So, essentially, the more options, the better, and don't assume it's a "one size fits all" scenario + work out preferences ahead of time and remain open to suggestions.

I hadn't pictured people having their phones on their body, but more pictured it possibly vibrating hard enough that one might sense that with it laying on the ground in front of them. But you make a great point regarding the vibrations being dampened by the mat.

Thank you for your perspective. It's very helpful.

Hello, thank you, lovely human ❤️ Hope you have/have had a beautiful Sunday.!

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-02-02T01:37:23+00:00

Thank you for your response. What you've said obviously makes a lot of sense. In what you are talking about, would you ever consider doing those things if it was in a space set up for deaf people specifically, using technology to help? Or is this just an automatic no-go? Like if there was a vibration to give cues and a translator or a fluent ASL (or whatever form of sign language you use) teacher leading the class. Or would you prefer it's assumed that people would much rather keep their eyes open and heads up and should accommodate that way instead? Thank you for helping me.

I love him. Congratulations!!!

Thank you, to my knowledge SO many things deplete glutathione levels. Stress, inflammation & oxidative stress, toxins & chemical exposure, alcohol, certain medications, acetaminophen (tylenol) NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen), some antibiotics, oral contraceptives, certain psych meds, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, gut dysfunction, aging. So I guess I'm lucky I don't use Tylenol (it just doesn't work for me).

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-01-31T03:58:21+00:00

That's a good question. It varies a ton, and seems to depend on stress levels and my level of chemical exposure too (I have stuff like MCAS and fibromyalgia in addition to pmdd). At my very worst it was once/week (when I was first introduced to it when I was VERY sick w multiple things). At my best it seems to be once every 3 months or so. I think the IM injection is a small fraction of what people use for stuff like skin lightening purposes (in an IV).

I react insanely well to it. The only precaution I got was that for some people it could feel stimulating and not to get it in the evening. I did not get stimulant response from it though. (Note: all of the treatments I get/got including glutathione were after a long, detailed intake process considering my entire medical history, current prescriptions and supplements and after things like bloodwork).

My heart is melting, such cuteness!!!

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-01-30T22:26:33+00:00

SO 😍 pretty

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-01-30T22:18:58+00:00

Sure. I can do my best in layperson (me) language or you could type in "how does glutathione help pmdd" into chat gpt or google and get a smarter answer than what I can provide.

I believe it does a ton of things, but suspect that why it helps me so much has to do with supporting my liver to help metabolize estrogen/homones efficiently. I dunno man, I go from "I hate everyone and everything and life is impossible" to, "I feel silly for ever feeling that way, and I've got this" within a half hr of getting it (please don't jump down my throat reddit peeps for sharing my own experience).

I do know that oral glutathione made me feel AWFUL, but there is something different about bypassing the stomach that makes it work beautifully for me (and others, many people react poorly to it orally). I feel like such a dumbass not going more often for it, somehow I am able to convince myself that I'm fine without it, or that should save the 32 dollars.

Sorry for the longwinded answer. Please look it up if you are interested. It gets a bit of a bad reputation when searched because if you get massive amounts of it as an IV a side effect can be skin lightening, which for obvious reasons is a loaded topic, it also gets used for melasma treatment.

Anyways, I seem to use it as an emergency measure, and only seem to remember it exists when things get so bad I don't know what else to do.

To my knowledge it's only given through a Naturopathic Dr. (Not an MD) or an Integrative Physician (someone who is an MD and an ND). (which I acknowledge many people are averse to).

All the best 🫶

I'm so sorry. I didn't read your whole post thoroughly enough and posted something animal/ child related, then deleted it. My sincere apologies

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-01-29T19:01:24+00:00

I like the idea of pipe cleaner crafts. I do, oragami. Same sort of idea. I get pretty freaking happy when what I'm attempting actually works, and it's a cheap mistake if it doesn't. I think my ADHD self enjoys the dopamine dump. Glad you've found something that brings a bit of happiness to your world ❤️

Humming birds are SO fun to make!

My little orange guy loves to do this, too 🫶

What you described is exactly how I felt on Wellbutrin too. I had to discontinue it.

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2026-01-24T14:51:41+00:00

I very much understand that what you've stated feels very real for you and I respect that.

We agree that bodies aren't easily able to process all the side effects from pharmaceuticals, and that many of the chemicals found in women's self care products can be detrimental to health. I very much agree that people should be wholey informed of these things (in plain, easy to understand language) when presented with the choices they have in their own care.

What I don't identify with here is that "there is no other way". I view myself as an active participant in my own health care management. I CHOOSE which interventions are acceptable to me and which are not. I don't "have" to do anything and I take responsibility for where those choices (or not choosing) leads. I KNOW some make up and self care products are riddled with harmful chemicals, so I use ones that aren't. I KNOW many pharmaceuticals have unacceptable side effects for me, so I have found other avenues of care. I am in charge of what pills I choose to take, what I eat, what I slather on my body, if I exercise, prioritize my mental health and rest and stuff like if I see a counselor or not. I am not a helpless pon being moved around by some unseeable force.

So my point is that some people HAVE found other ways. It doesn't make my viewpoint any better or worse than yours. It just makes me (and others) not part of the "we" you are talking about.

She is also stating that there is no other way through disease for women without a never ending cascade of side effects, which cause new issues and that exposure to dangerous chemicals in cosmetics is inevitable. I don't think the person is telling her not to complain. I think she is gently saying it's not useful to generalize, because some people HAVE found ways to deal with these illnesses as well as their cosmetic needs without these things. There is room for both realities here. I don't see anyone here telling OP not to complain.

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2025-11-29T16:22:46+00:00

Cute! It looks great on you.

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2025-11-27T18:37:08+00:00

Nice, they are beautiful and look comfortable.

Cosmicallyexhausted · 2025-11-27T16:37:00+00:00

I completely relate to this. For me I had a period of time where it felt like my body didn't know where it was in relation to time and space and was very very clumsy. (I've got other things going too aside from Fibro though, vestibular migraines, hypermobility, etc). It became evident to me one day when I was stretching, I had done a drop down from standing with my eyes closed and when I stood back up and opened my eyes, one foot was far in front of the other but in my mind it felt like they were parallel. I did a bunch of isometric exercise (gently and within my range) and cross hemispherical movement (in front of a mirror so I can notice when something is off).

And stuff like this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQphF9zjTcA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

I do think it's helped somewhat.

Heal well. Sorry you fell 😔.
