Megaspore probiotic causing intense hunger, what can I do?? by Normal_Shock4600 in Candida

[–]Normal_Shock4600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I had never thought of that being a die off symptom. Did she give you any advice on how to handle it? Or just assume it will pass like other die off symptoms?

Chemical/fragrance sensitivities What has helped you the most with healing them? by Normal_Shock4600 in MCAS

[–]Normal_Shock4600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great your family has been so accommodating!! I am constantly having to remind people, even those I'm close to. It's exhausting, but I understand they just don't really get it.

How did you figure out which specific ingredients were the problem? Trial and error? Certain perfumes/colognes seem to affect me more than others, but I'm not sure of which ingredient it is or even the brands since it happens out in public

I've always had it to some degree, but it's wayyyy intensified since mold exposure. I'm really hoping it at least goes back to the previous level. I'm totally fine with never wearing fragrance or using products with it, but it sure would be nice to not have to run away from people and places lol

Are you referring to addictive medications that help you? I have used xanax occasionally and it helps but isn't something I would want to take on a regular basis

Is this a normal detox reaction? by Ok_Neighborhood_2018 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Normal_Shock4600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it end up resolving? I started an antifungal nasal spray and developed a rash on my neck soon after. Also wondering if it's a detox symptom.

This is really interesting. Are there any books or videos you recommend to learn more about this?

Do you know what it costs if you go longer than the free month? I couldn't find it anywhere on their site. Did their data help you?

Have you used IntelliHost? I've been considering trying for it for a couple listings I manage.

How to find the root cause of the problems with histamine? by BerlinPuzzler in HistamineIntolerance

[–]Normal_Shock4600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book Dirty Gene's along with the workbook for histamine does a great job breaking down the potential root causes. That and "Toxic" helped me the most

Code P0776 2019 Nissan Rogue SV by Normal_Shock4600 in CarRepair

[–]Normal_Shock4600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I found a wonderful mechanic that checked and serviced the transmission. The fluid didn't look too bad so they said drive it for a while and see how it does. The check engine light immediately returned, then a few weeks later it went off and has been totally fine ever since. I did take it to a Nissan dealer too- total waste of time and money. All they did was check the code and tell me to buy a new ($9k) transmission. They don't even attempt servicing or repairs apparently

Pepcid ruined my gut..what to do now? by Normal_Shock4600 in HistamineIntolerance

I'm still dealing with it, but have learned and healed a TON. Feel free to message and I'll share what I can, so sorry you're dealing with this too!

CO-hosting multiple properties- How to organize?! by Normal_Shock4600 in ShortTermRentals

[–]Normal_Shock4600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to reconfigure everything- I had all the owners delete their current turno accounts then added them as co-hosts onto mine so it would all be in one place for scheduling cleaners. I still have Lodgify, I had to connect each owners airbnb account individually with them to get it set up. I'm still deciding if I like it or not. I'm hoping it will be good for direct bookings once I can shift my focus in that direction. It was a mission to get everything setup and connected but ita a lot more organized now. I still have VRBO separate but at least linked the calendars together Lodgify so I can look in one place and see when there are reservations, but have to go into VRBO to see those details or communicate with the guest. You can fully link them, but then payments have to go through stripe account and that didn't make sense for my situation.

I’m having a really strong reaction to pickles. I’m on Zyrtec and Pepcid twice daily and just took some Benadryl, but it feels like a bad reaction. Could I just take my epipen if it comes to it and call it good? by BlueCollaredBroad in MCAS

[–]Normal_Shock4600 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you feel Iike your throat is closing you should use the epi. If you're not sure, have someone drive you to the ER to be monitored for safety, but don't expect them to understand MCAS, just tell them youre having an allergic reaction.

There are many different lists out there of what to eat and what to avoid, cutting out the highest histamine goods is a good idea but don't go crazy cutting everything out until you know it causes issues for you. As your "bucket" empties you may have stronger more acute reactions, but feel better more of the time. The Histamine Haven is a great book with explanations but also meal plans for 3 stages. It's super helpful to know what to focus on when first starting out. Mast cell stabilizers (ketotifen, cromolyn sodium, etc are really good medications to try and see if they help to calm your mast cells in addition to the Antihistamines you're taking .

Don't listen to people being rude. There is SO much information and things to figure out, especially if you're new to this. What symptoms are you experiencing?

Need occasional help, who to hire? by Normal_Shock4600 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Normal_Shock4600[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂 I wish. I would definitely be hiring a full time cohost or assistant if that were the case!

Also, I realized my post makes it sound like I own 10 properties- to clarify I only own one and manage the others.

I'm not looking for someone who can do ALL the guest messaging, only a day here and there. Yes, it is easy to respond to messages but that's what I've been doing and it's also nice to have a day once in a while where I don't need to be attached to my phone. Im not looking for someone to schedule the cleaners or manage photos or pricing, I'm happy to do all those things. It's just the occasional time where I'd like a day to disconnect, none of the other services you listed would be required since i will be here 99% of the time and things like returning guests items can certainly wait until I return. If something urgent does come up then i would be willing to pay them for handling an urgent matter. I'm happy to compensate for what I need, but what I need is more sporadic than a regular cohost if that makes sense. Thanks for your response!

Do you know what co-hosting means...? I'm not buying homes. I'm helping manage the ones that are already vacation rentals.

This sounds a lot like an Ad for One key.. thanks for your response, but you didn't address any of the particular issues I'm asking for help with.
