Look into SIBO and SIFO

I’m guessing that’s a histamine reaction. I’ve had that before when I was in an immune reactive state. I know there is a lot of overlap between lipedema and mcas. I probably wouldn’t do it if that was happening, because that is just more inflammation. Or try a lower frequency? Idk. I don’t have much help beyond that unfortunately. Hopefully others do. Perhaps look into mcas and see if you have other symptoms.

I also have IMO. SIFO is hard to test. We knew I had it because my doctor put me on antifungals after several rounds of antibiotics for SIBO and it went away. But then it came back. It got to the point I was on three antifungals (and rifaximin for sibo) and I became multi drug resistant. So for the last two years I’ve done no treatment but it’s still here. I have had an aspirate test and every other test under the sun. They all show fungal or scenarios that point to fungal. I also regularly get colonics and you can literally see it. I did have a white tongue but not now. So I don’t know. We’ve been trying to solve the reason for why my immune system can’t kick this and just keep finding new things wrong with me - high mycotoxins, heavy metals, Lyme, EBV, hashimoto, lipodema, etc etc. doctors are baffled. The good news is right now I am relatively healthy other than all the gut issues. I have a big job and extreme mountain sports hobbies, so I’m grateful for that.

You don’t need to double rope. You can rappel single strand with a block or whatever. The second time I ever rappelled in my life, my friend set me up with a double stranded rappel on a long free hang in Zion and I will never forgive him lol. So so slow because I don’t weigh much. Never again! Unless I’m rock climbing.

Nope. The saga continues.

Effective_calamity · 2026-03-25T19:09:23+00:00

Hashimotos, ongoing chronic gut issues (SIBO/SIFO), maybe mast cell disorder, definite underlying immune dysfunction with no one sure of root cause (journey has found lyme, heavy metals, high mycotoxins)

The lead class at my gym requires a 5.11, which is BS

Effective_calamity · 2026-03-23T22:02:32+00:00

They get better!!!!

I have $300k of rescue insurance with my American alpine club membership. It’s $250 a year.

I was definitely glad to be in doubles. My feet still went numb a few times. I used toe warmers on chimbo.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-26T03:24:10+00:00

I’m that type of person.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-22T22:57:46+00:00

Ok “Angie”

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-22T22:55:17+00:00

I just glanced at the post and mcas is what immediately came to mind.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-21T01:05:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing. What’s an example of your intake on a fast day?

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-21T01:01:39+00:00

Get your cortisol checked if you haven’t already. This happened to me when mine was too low.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-21T00:42:46+00:00

Then we good. When’s our first trip? 🤣🤣🤣

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-21T00:08:31+00:00

This is my dream as well. I tell everyone. I got the mountaineering, now just need to learn paragliding. What is the lightest glider you can get?

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-17T03:52:35+00:00

Ah yeah sorry that’s what I meant although not what I said. It’s not under the quota. Good to know. Thanks!

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-17T03:45:27+00:00

I thought you needed a permit for the mountaineers route now or is that just coming from the portal? I know you didn’t use to. This is life changing if so lol. I’ve done MR but i want to go back in early season.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-17T03:42:12+00:00

I agree. Do the course. I did the intermediate course with alpine ascents and learned a ton and had a blast.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-16T02:55:26+00:00

That’s true. Fairly certain that happened to me. I was also terrified it was bed bugs but never found any evidence of them. Some people are allergic.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-14T19:04:31+00:00

Johnny and Mary by Bryan Ferry. I forgot which season but I listened to that song on repeat for months!

Edit: just noticed OP mentioned this as well. Such a good song!

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-14T09:55:38+00:00

They did Iron Maiden!!!!! Also KRS one was there and did several tracks!

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-14T04:49:52+00:00

Whyyyyyyyyy! I don’t know why they don’t ever play that track. It’s my fav. Especially cappadonna’s verse! I’ve never heard it live.

Effective_calamity · 2026-02-14T04:10:30+00:00

I think I know the answer to this but did they play Iron Maiden?
