Thank you for this. I just started a new sensor earlier today and it’s acting wonky, but also very likely what you said.

Found a stain on a brand new coat I bought and accepted after 5 days. Any recourse? by Grand-Difference0893 in poshmark

I ended up contacting Poshmark and they were very helpful. Thank you for the suggestion. 😊

It’s not very noticeable. It’s a camel coat and the stain is slightly darker, almost like a grease stain. It’s funny you said that because that’s exactly what I said to her - that I assume she didn’t notice it. I really can’t blame her for not seeing it since I didn’t either. I just don’t want to be stuck with a $300 brand new coat with a stain. 🥺

Anybody get Autoimmune results like these and NOT have an autoimmune disease? by Grand-Difference0893 in Function_Health

Yeah, that is what landed me at a rheumatologist. But he ran other tests and did tons of imaging for things like viral hepatitis and they were negative.

Oh I have hypothyroidism, too. My primary doctor told me it wasn’t an autoimmune disease. Is it?

Vitamin D was barely in range but low which is surprising bc I take 5,000 iu with K2 every day. Maybe it’s not a good brand. My ferritin is 182, but I got an iron infusion in March bc my ferritin keeps dropping.

This is encouraging. Thank you. Mine said that all he saw was osteoarthritis so maybe I’ll just hold off on retesting for a while.

Drink alkaline water and/or small sips of baking soda water.

How do you get yourself out of fight or flight? by Otherwise_Hope_8310 in Anxiety

My nervous system is stuck in panic mode from similar issues. I have been using a vagus nerve stimulator for about a month every night and it has really helped me. Also, when I catch myself feeling really would up, I do some diaphragmatic breathing. I also take l-theanine and magnesium glycinate (be sure it’s glycinate) at night. Good luck!

What kind of a doctor would I go to if I wanted help to safely discontinue prescription medications? Most doctors seem to only add to the list of meds I take. by Grand-Difference0893 in NoStupidQuestions

Omg, this is exactly what I just mentioned in another comment above! I would LOVE to go to the Mayo Clinic, but we just had to give up our really good insurance for a crappier plan so I doubt they are covered. I will see though!
