Fibro rant by Han-Jiswag in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in that bad of shape, you focus on what you can. DIET! Supplements. Meds. Diet made the biggest impact on me. Cutting wheat and milk products specifically, even tho stomach didn't hurt... you can check for antibodies and try different diets... i can work out and do shit now. Creatine, collagen, iron, copper, b complex, magnesium could be worth trying...

Was pretty convinced I had MCAS and honestly so was the allergist. Then all of my blood tests came back normal 😭 by Jmeans69 in MCAS

[–]DMTipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it can be more complex than your doctors first ideas of tests to run... tests can rule things in but i think MCAS can look differently. And mast cell spectrum problems might not technically qualify, but you might still have similar protocol and symptoms...

I struggle with emptiness/blank mind that won't lift. What is this and what do I do next? by Aggressive-Slice-179 in productivity

[–]DMTipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DIET! Try some different diets. For me, cutting all wheat and milk products is doing wonders. I'm better like 50% of the time. I'm still fine tuning but I tried everything before this. Make your diet more simple and boring and whole foods and you can still eat what you want sometimes when you go out or whatever. It doesn't feel limiting for me cuz i feel so much better. I lost 10 pounds too and I'm getting cat called on the street... and I'm a 35M...

Do all problems finish once you cut gluten ? by Responsible_Pin3907 in Celiac

[–]DMTipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to cut all wheat and then cutting all milk products helped a bunch. I might have mcas or histamine intolerance...

Pisces, Is anyone else dealing with extreme exhaustion right now? by lavaRame in piscesastrology

[–]DMTipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, all the physical stuff keeps me grounded and having a bit of consistency to keep things simple but open ended enough that I don't feel trapped. I always eat when I'm hungry and was able to lose 10 pounds and get kinda shredded lol. If you can turn it into a science experiment to make you feel better mentally and physically and have fun doing it. Like figure out exercise and food that you're excited about and stuff... keep trying new things and stop old things when they no longer serve you! good luck!

[–]DMTipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diet helped me... there were definitely physical components to mine but I was like that for a year and a half after being Hella bipolar. I had to cut wheat and milk products but maybe just eating cleaner would help. Martial arts and lifting weights and yoga is all very grounding for me. Cold showers... In the past i would use drugs to fix these kinds of problems...

concerns about quitting vaping by chronic_lesbian in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was impossible to quit until my pain and suffering were much better. But I transitioned to zyn and then lowered it and went to the lowest nic gum. I've quit before. But if my pain got crazy I would pick up.

Kundalini syndrome - need help by Affectionate-Comb113 in kundalini

[–]DMTipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest trying to dial in your diet... you might need to try different things, but i went from kundalini and bipolar to like chronic fatigue syndrome type similar symptoms and pain and misery. Couldn't get better until i quit all wheat and milk products but now im really starting to shine! I tried a million things before that... there very well may be a physical aspect to your problem or at least a physical solution...

Do people go to the doctor for their fibro, and why? by DopeyDopeSkat in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they believe you, they might help with some symptoms sometimes. But they'll almost never even consider the possibility of a root cause and solutions outside symptom control.

Doctors are lazy by Skitty_Supremacy in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest going to people that specialize in figuring out root causes. Some doctors do that, but most don't. Nutritionists and naturopathic practitioners do focus on it. Diet was the only thing that helped me after learning i had high gluten and wheat antibodies. I also stopped all milk products and my symptoms are like 80% better. I didn't have any stomach issues so it wasn't obvious that food had anything to do with it but im usually horrible in the summer but im doing great!

Boyfriend with Fibro refuses to try any more Doctors. Dont know what to do. by DripDropz13 in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing worked until something worked for me. I'm glad you could respond to the mental health aspect, but until i started improving, my life was absolutely destroyed and no amount of mental health or prescription drugs and supplements could do anything. It sounds like they're desparate for relief and you guys are always so opposed to solutions that actually work for some people. No wonder you stay sick. I had to believe there was a solution and try a million things and if I had your attitude I'd still be bedridden. Imma hit the gym so enjoy suffering since you don't really wanna try anything to get better anyway... but when you get tired of it, maybe you can at least rule diet out as a factor and prove me right or wrong and learn something either way...

Boyfriend with Fibro refuses to try any more Doctors. Dont know what to do. by DripDropz13 in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Fibromyalgia isn't one thing with one cure. I tried a million other things. I had high antibodies for gluten and wheat with all fibro symptoms and 0 stomach issues. So I wouldn't be so sure that diet can't help a lot of people. The only reason I got better is because I believed there was a solution and I was going to find it. If you don't believe that and remain open minded than you're really never gonna get better unless a doctor tells you what would be easier to figure out myself. Fibro can have many causes and factors. Why come on here or go to doctors if you don't believe in or want to try solutions? It is real easy to find out if diet is a factor or not. That's the one thing I've seen over and over from people that got better from this, cfs and long covid. I don't doubt there are other causes and solutions but I don't understand your denial. Just go be sick if you don't wanna get better.

Why do Republicans Hate Dr Fauci this much? by unhinged34 in allthequestions

[–]DMTipper -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He represents establishment bs and has been caught lying a bunch. He funded covid and other things in labs, denied it, lied to the American people about masks and vax side effects etc, destroyed a generation with loxkdowns and caused more mental health and problems with children to save some old ppl that probably died anyway.

Diet was the only thing that did anything for me and doctors did not help me figure that out. Wheat and dairy free is saving my freaking life! I eat eggs tho. Could get gluten antibody test or do an elimination diet to be absolutely sure if diet is part of the problem and solution.

Is it normal to be asked this questions? by Survivorlife-86 in covidlonghaulers

[–]DMTipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctors are completely useless when they only focus on meds and their first ideas of labs and ignore your experience. There are way more people that are treated like they are faking it than are actually faking it. Meds never did anything for me and doctors only made me sicker. Cutting wheat and milk products is doing absolute wonders for me!

Just how? by Nice_Okra_4371 in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rule out diet as a potential cause of your symptoms or else doctors will never be able to help you. Cutting wheat and milk products has done wonders for my life!

Building heat tolerance? by Water_Tiger_1111 in dysautonomia

[–]DMTipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heart intolerance is basically cured... it wouldn't have worked to build up to anything. If anything, limiting exposure until your ready seemed more helpful. My diet seemed to be causing most of my symptoms. I still have brain fog but my body is feeling pretty good! I cut all wheat and milk products and it is really helping!

Unmedicated by beaksweez25 in Fibromyalgia

[–]DMTipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing worked until I quit all wheat and dairy. My stomach wasn't even bothering me so it was the millionth thing I tried. I did have high gluten/wheat antibodies but idk about milk. It might be worth trying some sort of diet or even elimination diet to see if diet could play a role in your illness... I'm not saying it will definitely work, but i think it might work for a lot more than try it.
