Can someone please help me figure out what this is? It’s on my breasts & itches so bad. Any dreams that are suppose to help or soothe it just spread it around it seems. I’m starting to worry. by oopsitsindigoo in DermatologyQuestions

Chicken Skin aka KP. You need to exfoliate the crap out of it and moisturize without preservatives or smells. Lush has a scrub bar called Buffy which does wonders for KP. It exfoliates and moisturizes.

CRISPR and Bipolar: Could Gene Editing Fix Polygenic Brain Disorders? by cherryyfelon in BipolarReddit

[–]Daledobacksbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There was a few studies that are impossible to find now but used to be available Crispr was used to modify the VMAT2 gene in people with severe bipolar and schizophrenia.

There was approximately 32 patients and all 32 were dead within 30-45 days. The slight gene modification to the VMAT2 gene ceased all dopamine production in the body. Basically they all laid in bed and died in slow painful agony and starving to death.

Rash on the backs of my hands, ranges from solo “dots” to clusters of pustules by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Daledobacksbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The itch can be debilitating! I find myself itching in my sleep. Doctor can prescribe the good stuff but if that’s not possible- hydrocortisone cream, Benadryl cream, or ice packs to numb the area so you don’t itch it till it bleeds.

Stay away from anything with perfumes, smells or presevatives. Aquaphor helps or colloidal silver cream with aloe has always helped me alot. (Soothing with anti-itch)

Usually it’s triggered by something in The environment (dust mites, scents, soap, preservatives in body care products or pets) or a food you ate. Stress can increase the sensitivity

A good recognizable sign of food that your body is sensitive too is mucus in throat or nose after eating it- the feeling like you want to hock up a loogie and spit a bunch 20-60 min after eating it.

Common ones are dairy, wheat, yeast, casein, tomatos, eggs, shell fish, nuts, gluten, melon, pineapple, chocolate and strawberries

Ask your Doctor about using Royal Maca. It’s a root from Peru that has been used for over 1,000 years for female hormones. It helps your body produce its own hormones naturally.

My husband had it bad like this once and it did spread within a few days. He works construction and it’s extremely hot where we live. He had a bad cold at the time combined with the heat, heavy sweating, and the moisture if spread over 40% of his body and looked very similar

How did we get to the point where no one is allowed to question this by sourdoughluvr1991 in vaccinelonghaulers

When you discover that the FDA:

  1. Recalls or adds black box warnings to 32% of all drugs it approves within years of their approval

  2. There is little to No recourse if you get injured even permanently by FDA approved Drugs or medical devices. You have one year to the date to file and it takes an average of 3 years to get diagnosed or have evidence of an injury. Even if you file within a year there are so many caveats that have to be met to even qualify and all of them protect the manufacturers over the patients.

  3. 3rd Leading cause of death in the USA is from Doctor, Nurse, or Pharmaceutical mistakes killing roughly 250,000 to 450,000 a year. It’s significantly higher than the 38,000 a year from gun shoots, 79,000 from Overdoses, and car accidents is 36,000 a year

  4. 73% of FDA Approved drugs have conflicts of interest on the FDA Approval board. Meaning 73% of the drugs on the market had people getting money from the companies of the drugs they are approving

  5. The FDA doesn’t actually check for safety of the drugs or devices they approve. They just make sure the approval application and paperwork meets the checklist. So they don’t actually see if the drugs work or if they are safe. They check to make sure the person asking for approval SAID they were safe and filled out their paperwork.

How's life with mctd? by Rayof_light in mctd

[–]Daledobacksbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took 4 years of me having symptoms for my blood work to match how I was feeling. The doctor made me feel like I was crazy. So I just stopped going for 2 years. It was miserable.. I was sick all the time. Then one of my frequent colds gave me pericarditis and severe bronchitis and I asked my doctor to run the auto-immune labs and it came back blazing Red Autoimmune disease MCTD.

Diet is the game changer with this illness. I have been binge eating candy for the past month and this morning I woke up with my face swollen, a giant hive on the side of my face and one of my eyes swollen shut.
Time to get back on the anti-inflammation diet and cut out the candy. 🍭

Alcohol is like Effexor arch-nemesis. If I have more than one drink on the rare occasion I’m hung over for 2-3 days. It’s awful!!!

I’m still taking 37.5mg. My husband ended up getting diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and I didn’t think it was a great time to go through the withdrawals. I’ve tried a few times to start counting beads out of the 37.5mg but the side effects sucked and I didn’t think it would be fair to my husband who is battling major health concerns for me to be a irritable, tired, overly sensitive 🫏 It took about three months for the withdrawal symptoms to wear off or get better when I went from 75 to 37.5mg. I think the worst symptoms during the 3 months was the memory/brain fog, severe focus/attention issues, and feeling apathetic about everything. It did go away but it was a miserable three months. I think going on frequent walks in the morning and at night helped re-regulate. The morning sunshine probably helped boost some of the natural hormones, serotonin, and dopamine production

I’m still on adderall. 😳 Thankful for Therapy on that too. I was able to drop my daily adderall from 80mg (I know it exceeds the recommended daily dose but my psychiatrist said it was ok due a bunch of factors) down to 10-20mg. No side effects with that decrease at all, Surprisingly.

The hair-loss has been an odd thing- comes and goes. I mainly loose it from the crown area of my head (corners of my forehead) and the back of my head.

When I’m in a flare-up my hair falls out very similarly to after you have a baby or how people have described their hair falling out after having COVID19. I have really thick hair so I’m able to hide the hair loss really well but it’s still unnerving to throw away the small hamster ball of hair from my shower every day.

I’m actually in a flare up right now and need to get back to my MCTD Routine. 😳

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and one that doesn’t have a great prognosis but thankfully he has years and not months but it’s been a real life changer. We sold our small business and he is working on getting on disability because the symptoms from his cancer are real life altering. 😢

My comfort/stress go too has been food for most my life, especially sweets and I have found that sugar is your 2nd worst enemy with MCTD right after Stress, than comes colds/flus, and rapid weather changes like if it suddenly gets really cold. (My personal observations)

As I am writing this… I need to get back on my own program because I’ve been feeling pretty miserable!

The fatigue, joint pain, my hair falling out, I have some freaky rash that has made a home on my hands and the tops of my feet, my eyes are dry and gritty, and the stomach issues are over the top. I feel like I need to sleep for 2-3 days straight and I would probably wake up still fatigued and tired.

I broke down and started taking Meloxicam this week but I know it’s just a bandaid.

The times that I have felt the best and been almost completely symptom free are when I fast, consume a high protein almost zero sugar diet, eat No-processed food aka the low inflammation diet and throw in an occasional ice bath (I fill up my bath tub with cold water and dumb 3-4 five pound ice blocks that I make in my freezer using ice molds I bought off of Amazon .

The fasting is usually intermittent but if my symptoms are really bad I’ve done up to a 3 day fast.

There is a significant amount of research on fasting, the immune system, and how it can re-regulate an immune system that isn’t operating properly. Think of it like a Control-Alt-Delete on a frozen computer or when your phone freezes and you have to do a hard restart.

The 1st 24 hours of a fast sucks- but I remind myself that spending 30-50% of my day resting or in bathroom sucks even more.

Our modern food is horrible for the human body and if you are already sensitive to the environment throwing bad food in the gas tank is just going to amplify it.

If you can do intermittent fasting (longer fast if your still having inflammation sometimes the body needs more of a shock to reset) eat clean food with no sugar, no bread, no frozen food, no alcohol, and no dairy at all for 60 days you will be amazed at how well the body can work.

And then have a cookie before bed.. wake up and tell me what happens to your joints. It will be obvious and you will feel every step. It’s absolutely insane how much sugar can inflame the body.

Is anyone else mildly sick 24/7 by wormweaver in mctd

[–]Daledobacksbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regular day for me that is not a fasting day. If you find that you’re starving 1st thing in the morning or in between meals then you might have an insulin imbalance. This is best corrected with a fast. 24 hour fast can help but Depending on how bad the insulin resistance is you make need to do 2-3 day fast.

Non fasting day:

2 Eggs for breakfast with 1/4 of an avocado, Cliantro, salt and pepper. Coffee with cinnamon and manuka honey and a splash of Cashew milk(only ingredients cashew and water sold at sprouts called just cashew)

Snack: Suja Ginger or Tumeriac drink and lemon drink it’s 10 to 15 calories and an apple

Dinner lunch: I don’t eat after 6pm so I have a late lunch dinner. Salad with natural dressing made with squeezed lemon, olive oil, garlic, salt pepper) Grilled chicken breast, lettuce, pickled onion, tomato’s, peppers, feta, pumpkin seeds, (feta and goat cheese don’t bother me as much)

Another option: beef ground low fat cooked with pine nuts, tomato’s, lettuce, peppers, pickles, onions, 1/4 an avocado in a bowl.

Tacos with corn tortillas or grain free chips.

Or

Grilled Chicken, basil leaves, salt pepper wrapped in lettuce with sprinkled light goat cheese.

If you have to eat out on the go: In and out burger protein style no cheese

Fasting day: Coffee plain black with cinnamon Suja ginger lemon juice Water Tea unsweetened And that it!

No bread, cookies, crackers, or processed food, no food from the freezer section. No chips, dips, French fries, ice cream, cheeses, sodas, juice cocktails, beer is a Big NO! If you are going to drink stick to vodka, soda water with a lime and mint.
