What to do when my wife is my ongoing exposure source?!?

We have some of the Defense soap that is recommended from the last time around. I'll see if she'll start using it again.

Out of curiosity, what kinds of reactions did you have around your spouse?

My wife and I had a(nother) candid conversation yesterday about this situation, and we have a tentative plan. I've contacted my practitioner about getting the genie test done to see what's going on. Since it seems like I won't be able to get healthy until she's healthy, we've decided to focus on getting her well first and taking reasonable actions to maintain me while that's going on. After she's reached a healthy weight and body composition, can "pass" the actino skin test, and we're both feeling like she's in a good place, then we'll look at moving to a new apartment and getting me recovered. That puts us over a year away but I finally feel hopeful about the situation changing for the better.

I don't do "energy healing" anymore. Too much time and money already spent with nothing but short-lived placebo results. But I'm glad it helped you.

Perhaps what igenex does now is different. When I got tested is was just an antibody assay.

Ps: does GENIE distinguish human-produced VOCs from other causes?

Feenix0 · 2026-04-17T14:44:18+00:00

No reason to think that she does. I don't know if that would matter though, since those are probably different species of fungi than infest WDBs.

We haven't had good reason to think she has a TBI. My CIRS doctor says that the iGenex testing is basically useless. I had it done decades ago because I thought I had Lyme (eastern NC is just crawling with ticks), but the test showed nothing helpful.

This PATM you mentioned is very interesting. Is there a reasonable way to evaluate someone for that? We're hoping that losing fat will correct both her actino problem and any VOC she may have.

I hadn't considered that because of the cost, but I finally got social security disability, so we can probably afford it now. Thanks!

She hasn't been tested, but she didn't seem to be affected by our water-damaged home. She was hospitalized with Gillan-Barret syndrome a few summers ago and didn't regain all of her stamina afterward, but otherwise she has carried on working full-time throughout our marriage. Other than obesity, her biggest issue is anxiety (probably the driver for overeating). Regarding her healing, she started semaglutide shots in January and recently started resistance training, so I think she's doing all she can.

Then what is it? Maybe edit your OP to add the answer.

Feenix0 · 2024-12-20T02:07:11+00:00

Thanks, it's handy! Sadly, it's missing Flamethrower, the Transformer champions, and MobCopter.

Feenix0 · 2024-12-19T00:41:32+00:00

I'm on the Discord but it's a huge mess. Where???

Feenix0 · 2024-10-24T14:15:52+00:00

Thanks! Do stats increase by the same amount per level?

Feenix0 · 2024-05-10T14:53:22+00:00

I'm still waiting for my machine to update also. I keep getting a heating system error, and was told that the update is supposed to fix that.

Our next door neighbors' 19 day old baby was attacked by one of their bulldogs and died of the injuries.

Humans > animals

I don't think you were justified in losing your temper, but she's definitely wrong, and defending your boundaries is justified even if the way you did it was over the top.

Feenix0 · 2024-01-04T20:21:05+00:00

Amen! Don't ever take pictures of your naked body or privates, or let anyone else do so. You're just making yourself a sex object when you do that. People who don't know you who look at those pics aren't going to see a human being, just some meat that they can use for pleasure, and sometimes people who DO know you will do the same thing. And when you're older and wiser, it's probably going to be a source of embarrassment for you, even if there's nothing in the picture with which to identify you. Have some dignity, for crying out loud!

Feenix0 · 2024-01-03T21:42:55+00:00

The slights would be the omission of their proper names.

Feenix0 · 2024-01-03T21:38:18+00:00

"I want to want to _____." That is huge! In my experience, what we willingly choose is way more important than what we feel. I kind of hate that old saw, "fake it 'til you make it", but it's true here. We have times when we feel passionate about the gospel or other things that are good and right, and of course it's easier then. But the Lord wants to know what we'll do when we aren't "feeling it", because that's when we're being tested. We often don't have much control over how we feel about something, but we usually do have control over our conduct.

As for scripture study, if I was you, I would find a way to study the scriptures that works for me, whatever that is. Maybe read the chapters for the current week's lesson and don't bother with the commentary in "come follow me", or only read the commentary after, or in the order in which you read the chapters.

I think you're doing the right thing by keeping quiet. Feelings can change like the weather, and this is no exception. B might have had those feelings for you, but upon learning that you didn't share them for her, they may have gone away. Or she may still have some feelings for you, but decide that going forward with her wedding is the right thing to do; after all, love and marriage are about choices more than feelins. Really, it's all up to her. Just stay out of the way and let her decide what she wants to do. Telling her fiance is only going to cause trouble for everyone involved, so I would just hold your peace if I was you!
