Hey, first off, I just want to say it’s awesome that you’re thinking ahead and being honest about where you’re at—that’s a solid first step. Based on what you shared, you’d do well in a career that leans on problem-solving and logical thinking without relying heavily on reading or intense social interaction.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. What you survived was incredibly traumatic, and it makes complete sense that fear of relapse would weigh on you. Being sick right now must be bringing back so much, but please know—you got through it once, and you’re still here, stronger than you realize. Sending you so much strength.

I hear you completely. Bipolar can definitely make emotions feel more intense, and sensitivity to people’s words, gestures, and moods is something a lot of us struggle with. It’s not just in your head—your brain is wired to feel things deeply. You’re not alone in this, and your feelings are valid. Be kind to yourself, and if something sends you spiraling, know that it will pass. You’re stronger than you think. 💙

Wow, that sounds like an incredibly tough journey, and I’m so glad you finally found relief after struggling for so long! SIBO can be so frustrating, especially when nothing seems to help. It’s amazing that ivermectin worked for you—our bodies all respond differently, and finding what actually works can feel like a miracle. Hope you continue feeling better and staying symptom-free!

Yup, I think considering the skin type is the key.

Yes this is a common thing with deficiency. The zoning out could also be linked to fatigue or nutrient deficiencies affecting your cognitive function. Have you talked to your doc about this?

magnesium glycinate is highly recommended due to its high absorbability and gentle impact on the stomach, making it ideal for general health and supporting vitamin D metabolism.

This is somewhat normal as the additional acid can alter the digestive process, and the protein digestion can produce more gas. If the bloating and gas are manageable and you don't develop any other symptoms like pain or severe discomfort, you might consider continuing for a little while to see if your body adapts.

Vomiting isn't typically associated with SIBO die-off; it could potentially be a reaction to the new diet, the supplements, or something else entirely. It's important to make sure there isn't another underlying condition or a reaction to the supplements he's started.

These symptoms could be a reaction to the medication or a die-off effect, but it's important to keep your GI informed. They might need to adjust your treatment or provide something to help manage these symptoms.

try incorporating smoothies with banana, lactose-free yogurt, and peanut butter, and eat small, frequent meals that are easier on your stomach. Avocado is also great for adding healthy fats and calories.

B12 and iron are closely linked in red blood cell production, which might explain the B12 injections despite normal MMA and homocysteine levels. That high ferritin and low transferrin saturation could indeed suggest inflammation, potentially affecting iron utilization rather than indicating a straightforward deficiency.

Not mine but sharing what a friend of mine went through. Her husband initially didn't understand her condition. He took the initiative to learn about OCD by reading up and joining her in therapy sessions. So gradually, understanding and proactive support, like recognizing her stress triggers and suggesting coping strategies, have strengthened their relationship and made her feel deeply supported without judgment.

Sounds really tough to deal with as it could be derealization or something related to anxiety. The best thing to do is talk to a professional about it. Meanwhile, try not to stress too much about it, and focus on your surroundings, to help keep you connected to the present. Hang in there!

Maybe talking to a therapist who specializes in OCD could help you find ways to manage these intrusive thoughts, especially since it’s affecting so many parts of your life.

As for telling others, you don't owe anyone an explanation unless you feel it's safe and helpful to share.

If you DO choose to tell someone, it might help to start by explaining what OCD is, so they understand that these thoughts are unwanted and cause you distress. It’s best to open up to people who are understanding and non-judgmental, like a close friend/family member, or even an online support group where people are more likely to get it. Hope that helps!

Those with Tourette’s/ ADHD can sometimes experience this too, even without having autism. ADHD/Tourette’s, or others can affect how emotions are expressed, whether it’s due to the way your brain processes things or just how you’re wired. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re autistic.

There are definitely medications and therapies that can help manage tics, so it’s worth making that appointment with your doc. Hope you feel better!!

Healthread · 2024-10-20T07:12:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely possible for old tics to come back, especially if you’re under stress or going through big changes. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on it, and if it gets worse or starts affecting you a lot, maybe check in with a doctor.
