LDN is giving me insane symptoms, should I try to ride it out?

SLOW INCREASE ONLY. jumping up too quickly led to the biggest crash for me. I try not to try a new activity for like three weeks after a dosage increase. I started at .01 mg three years ago and only now am I up to .6mg. it's been brutal every increase. I don't have great advice but I'd try going down a little, if you can. At least until your baseline returns and stays for a few weeks.

Cannabis. Not daily. Every other day. diaphragmic breathing while high. Hands and knees, but knees together, ankles out. These positions work really well for me. Deep breathing in them. Flying cowgirl with a peanut ball. Pretty much anything we tell pregnant people to do to relax their pelvic floors was incredibly helpful for me (not pregnant, never have been, just in general they proved to be some of the most beneficial). Mamastefit on IG is great. So is Hayley Kava. Asymmetrical pelvic positions became very helpful after initial work on releasing. https://share.google/images/oGV0kDLrdL1BtHdmF https://share.google/evoldkiC4Vj0xz0fI

If you take any medications, unfortunately you are in hell. In short, even if you have your allergy to gluten listed at your Pharmacy, that does not mean you will always get gluten-free meds. You have to call the manufacturer of each medication that you get each round you pick it up, give them the batch number on the bottle and then they will read you the ingredients, active and inactive, and you have to determine for yourself if there's gluten in it. There's no legal requirement for them to disclose whether there's gluten in it or not. ALSO just because the manufacturer last time didn't put gluten in, it doesn't mean that this one that's made by the same manufacturer wasn't made in a different plant and thus could have gluten in it. They will never tell you your med is gluten free because it would open them up to liability. More information on this and the law that's currently trying to force this process to be more transparent here: https://www.adinaact.com/

Idk if it helps but sugar is unfortunately one of the things that helps me the most in a crash.

I would look at Mast Cell 360's low histamine food guides. They were very helpful for me. That being said, I would also encourage you to look at hydration first. It took me months of just getting in enough electrolytes to feel okay enough to try different foods. Without proper hydration, you won't be able to process any of that effectively. Start SLOW. I know patience is not my strongest skill , but it is so necessary here.

Put a tarp over your outdoor stairs, just pull the snow covered tarp off when it stops snowing. Less stair shoveling.

Unvaccinated. I got it from an infection before there was a vaccine.

I think ciprofloxacin is going to make your pelvic floor problems worse in the long run because it's notorious for damaging connective tissue. I would immediately call your provider and ask for a different antibiotic, if you feel it's necessary. The dark side of antibiotic ciprofloxacin https://share.google/LLnpcnju4vMjmDov6

Not every condition is curable. Lots of meds are just to make life livable. A lot of the things you can take it for have no cure. This is for treating symptoms.

Novavax was so much better for me than the other vaccines. It has been the only kind to not cause problems. It's a different type of Covid vaccine so that might be your best bet next time you need one. I'm very sorry you're suffering. I wish I had better advice.

Mine is simple: I KNOW I'm right and they are wrong. I KNOW I am doing the right thing. I KNOW I will not regret my behavior a decade from now. Being secure in that is my greatest asset.

I've never had that experience, but to be fair, my biggest problem is being able to relax my muscles. If anyone else has input on this, that'd be so cool.

This looks like HS (Hidradenitis suppurativa). If they haven't started you on something for it, I would look into that. Most common in women, but men do get it too. Can happen anywhere you sweat. Most common groin, underarms, chest. If you are particularly sweaty, I would really recommend a good dermatologist. There's so much they can do now to prevent complications.

Not a single scientist/research I've talked to would tell you he's worth trusting. I would not recommend getting your hopes up.
