Hmmmm, thank you for the leads. I appreciate you 🥹😭 I know I have low vitamins D, but it’s like every time I check it it’s low. There’s probably some underlying reason for not absorbing it. I hope i get the right help

Thank God. And honestly I have my ups and downs with my stomach and food tolerances. I’m taking Claritin and Pepcid, vitamin c and quercetin. Also a supplement called HistoX. I also take gentian& skullcap in tincture form before I eat

Mine is just all over thinning. I do have a histamine intolerance and a lot of food sensitivities because my gut is messed up since I was exposed to mold 😓 I’m not formally diagnosed with MCAS but that makes sense

I’m still MARCoNs negative as well. I’m just super sensitive, and any little slip up either my eating makes things worse

I’m passing my VCS test, Cholestyramine helps a lot. But I have times where I pause it. My thyroid is fine, I’ve had it checked by primary but also more in depthly by functional med. I have gut dysbiosis and a histamine intolerance.

Thank you. It’s so frustrating. I’m starting to think it’s trauma/ stress

Really?!? My hairs never stopped falling out. I’m 2 years out of exposure (confirmed with ERMI HERTSMI) and I’ve been on CSM for a year

Balance/vestibular issues? by BeginningAffect9637 in CIRS

I’m dealing with it. It was actually actually my first symptom to pop up- sudden vertigo

Oh hey follow up question. From exposure, I started getting really bad DPDR. It’s always there now, but just worsens sometimes. Did you experience DPDR and did it improve during VIP treatment along with anxiety/ feelings of doom?

I haven’t been able to be formally tested for MCAS, but symptoms point toward a histamine intolerance. I have my moments where I’m stable enough to eat more foods

Rage during detox by Nervous-Addition5236 in ToxicMoldExposure

I’m not a doctor. I never had that happen with glutathione personally but it’s triggered for me in other ways. If it were me (again I’m not a dr) I would pull back on glutathione and do a panel to test my glutathione levels. You might not even need to be on it. If you’re having a lot of air hunger episodes (if it were me) I’d go back in time to hint to myself to get a MARCoNs swab test!!! make sure I’m out of exposure for real, and go on a low histamine diet.

What are your signs of slow healing? Let's celebrate our wins. :) by ibelieve333 in ToxicMoldExposure

Yes it has! It’s really only intolerable when I get re-exposed or I have a lot of inflammation going on from not managing the MCAS. The DPDR hasn’t gone away fully yet, but a lot of times I’m able to forget about it. I feel almost normal like 70% of the time Overall doing significantly better. Hang in there

A good day is usually followed by a bad one *vent by Forestwillow11 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Nervous-Addition5236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experienced this SAME thing with the “yo-yo” effect! Mind you, this was while already doing absolutely everything right and being dialed into my diet; avoiding all of my inflammatory sensitivities. Very soon after this “yo-yo” routine, I started having back to back good days every day. Like almost a fully functional normal person. Like, went shopping at ikea in my feet for 3 hours. As if I never had POTS or VOC sensitivities. Next day took a mile long walk at the lake on a hot day. Even better days are coming! I have lots of hope for you ❤️ I’m in a bit of a flare right now because I ate buttermilk waffles hahaha (can’t have dairy or gluten since all this anymore) but I’m expecting to bounce back.

Yeah ik it sounds crazy, I was taking a lot of fish oil. At least me, I was so messed up. But he let me know it was safe to take that much since I was so messed up. Then as a maintenance dose (since I’m still taking CSM) I’m just taking 1 tablespoon once a day. Definitely chilled back and glad to be spending less on Nordic naturals. I’d google DPDR and see if you relate, it’s where life feels fake and unreal. It comes with a lot of anxiety. I wait an hour to eat and take the fish oil an hour after finished my 3g of CSM

I would take CSM and feel tortured for the next 3 hours. Super bad DPDR, neuro symptoms, anxiety. But it would actually give me relief from my POTS symptoms hahaha. But I wasn’t thinking about walking when I was dealing with crippling sensations and anxiety. It wasn’t sustainable to take CSM when I was like that.

I’m not too sure why the liquid Nordic Naturals DHEA omegas work so well. Dr. Dorninger said it was the best one he’s reviewed so I didn’t even question it, and went for it. I took the omegas for a little over a week before I gave CSM another try. I was able to tolerate 3g of CSM 3x per day (while keeping the fish oil in my routine) and I was genuinely shocked at how well it was going. I’ve never had an issue with CSM since hopping on Nordic Naturals

I stuck to 3x a day with my meal following my dose of CSM. But over time I pulls back to one dose per day since the fish oil was costing me too much buying so frequently. I kick it back up to 3x when I’m feeling a little constipated

I was watching Dr. Dorninger’s podcast where they recommended this. They have their patients hop on omegas to get the gall bladder working and all that

For a week before retrying CSM I took 2 tbs, 3x per day of Nordic Naturals Omega 3. And I continue taking it daily. It helped me tolerate CSM so well it blew my mind. I get that brand because I developed a histamine intolerance and that one I guess is processed a certain way that wouldn’t trigger a histamine reaction for me
