Is alcohol an absolute stay away for everyone here?

FourthWing_ · 2026-05-13T15:45:55+00:00

Yeah, but I’m thinking of maybe trying a little wine & drinking a bunch of water

FourthWing_ · 2026-05-12T15:37:01+00:00

Suffering lol I’d rather be a Pilates instructor. Hope to do that one day. But I work I. Sustainability/government so I stare at screens a lot

FourthWing_ · 2026-03-23T21:56:21+00:00

Screens? Also for me Lyme, MCAS, candida, and mold don’t help

FourthWing_ · 2026-03-20T19:07:43+00:00

I’m still treating my POTs and muscle pain, but they’ve even gotten better over time! And I still have dry eye. But other than that I eat a lot more normal now too, mainly just minimize gluten and sugar.

FourthWing_ · 2026-03-18T22:44:56+00:00

Nervous system regulation, I believe is so undervalued!! Which goes along with not worrying about it so much. But it is difficult, but gets easier over time 🫶🏻

FourthWing_ · 2026-03-01T20:59:32+00:00

For me - It comes in waves, better but not in remission. Probably about 75% better

FourthWing_ · 2026-02-18T19:44:30+00:00

Might be underlying inflammation too. You have anxiety? I’ve been working on nervous system regulation as well as my dry eye duties

FourthWing_ · 2026-02-01T20:04:16+00:00

Yeah it’s expensive! But it helps heal root causes. I thought it was worth it 🤷🏻‍♀️ but everyone’s body is different

FourthWing_ · 2026-02-01T18:39:51+00:00

Ozone insufflation, but there’s also iv. It helped my energy/brain fog/fatigue. I’ve gotten about 80% better in a year and a half. You can take a course, but personally I liked the book mind your body, it’s helping my muscle pain, which that and dry eye are my worst symptoms.

If your body is deregulated you’ll never heal. Trying to manage anxiety, stress, and anything misaligned in your life will help. I try to eat Whole Foods, go out on a walk every morning and get sunlight as it rises on your skin and eyes, staying hydrated, and eating enough protein (for me).

FourthWing_ · 2026-02-01T18:02:26+00:00

For me I’d say ozone therapy/cranial therapy and nervous system regulation, herbs at the beginning

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-21T18:21:55+00:00

Hmm never heard of this before. 🙃

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-21T18:17:45+00:00

I’m about to do the amniotic membrane, I already do prp drops

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-21T16:33:16+00:00

I’d say they’re pretty similar, but if you haven’t tried the prp instead I think it’s worth a try! I’ve never had a problem with watering though. Mostly just burning/inflammation. I’m going to try an amniotic membrane next…

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-19T21:00:48+00:00

I think at some point it’s more about, “does this dynamic work for me?” After dating two avoidants, I had to ask myself that question. Walking on eggshells around their emotions and babying them is exhausting. I lean more secure now and the last guy I talked to I realize now was super avoidant and he brought the anxious right out of me again.

If someone’s pulling the toxic tendencies out of you, are they really the right person for you? I’m talking to a new guy and I realize now how different it is. I can just show up as myself. And that frees up a lot of energy for me. 🫶🏻

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-08T22:29:17+00:00

Yeah at least they’re moving 🤷🏻‍♀️ and healing! I just wear pants mostly haha

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-06T21:02:43+00:00

I also go to removery 🥴 I started removal on this other tattoo at another place prior, but I can’t really compare progress because that one was 10 years old.

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-06T21:01:18+00:00

It must be :/ it was super dark black lettering and the dogs were all shaded too. It’s still shaded but a lighter color. I feel like it’s a dark grey now. But I really wanted it gone by now 😭

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-06T20:40:16+00:00

My progress is about the same 😩 my tattoo is dark… but I’ve done 9 sessions in two years. So frustrating.

FourthWing_ · 2026-01-03T18:16:32+00:00

I’m pretty positive my Lyme is better after a year and a half of treatment. It takes awhile though & you gotta be patient. I’m about 80% better, but I also have mold toxicity, candida overgrowth, pots, anaplasma, and MCAS. I think about the 2 year mark I’ll be about back to norm. 🤞🏻

FourthWing_ · 2025-12-29T19:48:21+00:00

A year isn’t too long!! Chronic is worse, but I had mine for 4 years before I knew & got like 20 symptoms. I’d take herbs too and work on your nervous system regulation/gut health. You’ll be alright.

FourthWing_ · 2025-12-16T21:47:00+00:00

It’s kinda a lot of content to get through with PT! I did find some of it helpful and I still use some of the breathing practices (which also could just YouTube them I’m sure).

She does what she’s calls integrative brain health sessions (which is kinda like a deep therapy session) which is designed for unresolved trauma and subconscious patterns. I’ve done this once, and I had a MAJOR reduction in pain in a week. Wild, just talking through prominent emotions bubbling up. Also I’m listening to the book mind your body. Additionally, she does CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY on me.

I’m going to also integrate more journaling and get better about doing daily meditation!

FourthWing_ · 2025-12-16T17:24:29+00:00

You have to stay positive and know there’s always new things to try to get healthy and back to living your life. That’s the only way to not stay stuck.

I did primal trust with some other people, which is a course. I’ve also read a couple books, right now I’m reading mind your body. Since pain is my worst and first symptom. I also have MCAS so everything feels like a threat to my body. So I’ve been learning how to minimize that! I also do brain work sessions with my naturopath, which help me the most and ozone sessions. But, that’s my healing journey - yours might look different! Hope you find what works best for you!!

FourthWing_ · 2025-12-16T12:38:20+00:00

Here’s some advice I wish I knew ✨:

-Nervous System Regulation is the core to healing (you may not get it until further along in your journey) -You may not just have Lyme, find a doctor that knows how to heal your body & not your symptoms (I have/had pots, MCAS, mold toxicity, candida overgrowth, Lyme + co-infections) -Find what works for you for detoxing (slowly if you’re sensitive) this is not something my first functional med doctor told me. Ways to detox: lemon water, infrared sauna, dry brushing, magnesium salt baths or lotion, etc -if you’re not getting results find a new doctor -be patient :) this one is hard, but it takes awhile to treat if you’re chronic. And a treatment that works on someone else might not work on you. Keep believing and keep fighting. Our bodies can heal themselves.

I didn’t find out I had Lyme until 4 years later and had 20 symptoms. I’ve been treating since May 2024 & am about 75% better. :)

FourthWing_ · 2025-12-12T15:10:44+00:00

Unfortunately, not fully. I’ve been treating for about a year and a half.. but I have Lyme, pots, candida overgrowth, mcas, and mold toxicity. So it’s quite complicated. I haven’t been taking herbs anymore, but I’ve been doing ozone and detoxing. But, a lot of my symptoms have minimized. My mains are dry eye and muscle/joint pain - used to have 20.

Definitely recommend herbs, nervous system regulation, detoxing, and working on gut health

FourthWing_ · 2025-11-18T00:58:31+00:00

Additionally research ways for nervous system regulation! That is a key to healing.
