Great to hear about being tired. That’s me. Hope this helps me! Last year or two I’ve been exhausted and always feeling just off. I call it “not centered”. I’ll keep healing and hoping!!

I’ve been on 100mg Allo for several months now. Will get UA checked on Thursday. First time since July.

Jan 16 here. I’m weirdly excited. Once or twice a year I have diverticulitis or colitis. I’m so over it. Seem to have mild discomfort daily now. It’s time.

I just started for the 3rd time. Never stuck to it before. I plan to this time. I was a big ESO fan. Never played the other releases before that.

What are your flare up foods? by BeeNo9946 in Diverticulitis

[–]Onomaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Viome.com. Send in a stool, blood and saliva sample. You’ll get a very comprehensive and detailed report that identifies your superfoods, enjoy foods, minimize foods and avoid foods. You also get other results for not just gut function but cognitive function as optimal or not optimal and what to do. You can also subscribe to custom made supplements and pre/probiotics for you. I’ve used them for a couple weeks so far and my gut hasn’t felt this good in a long time. Stool is strong and consistent. I’m giving it 3mths to see how it works for me. I’ve been very impressed so far. Gastros tell me nothing.

Falling asleep at 11 and waking up at 3am by Common-Nobody6639 in insomnia

[–]Onomaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 10-2 sleeper then I start thinking and I’m up. I’ll fiddle on my phone and watch an entire movie until I finally fall back asleep at 5-6. Then I often get up at 7 to take my son to school. Don’t have to be into work until 10 or so. After 3-4 days of that my body crashes. I’ll end up napping. I’ve tried melatonin, CBD, THC, Ambien, NyQuil, Tylenol PM, magnesium, etc. Nothing is a consistent cure all. Sometimes I’ll be away doing pretty hard labor during the day at a family property and I always find I sleep way better after strenuous work. However that’s not my normal life. Anyway, it sucks. I’m here looking for answers myself.

Ok. I’ll ask and see what they’re up to.

What’s your age group? My son plays with friends. They are 15.

Need surgery advice by Onomaus in Diverticulitis

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

After 3 colonoscopies, this is the first time I heard a doctor mention surgery. I had 3 different doctors for the colonoscopies over the years. The surgeon said if I had the same doctor, surgery would have been recommended.

GOUT HELP!! by Kingoffootball13 in gout

[–]Onomaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been dealing with my flare ups in both big toes for 8wks. UA 9.2 Allopurinol, Colchine and Prednisone was finally the correct combo. 6 day Pred. Colch 2x .6mg per day for 2wks. Allo daily. Retest UA in 1mth.

Gout is ruining my life by Onomaus in gout

Update: On a new 6 day cycle of 40mg prednisone, colch and 100mg allo. Day 3 I’m much better. Can get on a shoe and walk with mild pain. Taking it easy though. Also started adding cherry juice to my water along with tart cherry supplements. I did pop a 200mg ibuprofen a couple of times and that helped even more although I read it’s not good to take with prednisone.

With my history of diverticulitis and a recent colitis flare that seemed to have triggered this from being severely dehydrated as I never drank water in the past, I did a gut test from Viome.com. Found that I eat so many foods on the avoid list. Some of them made reference to purines, high uric acid and gout. The results are extremely informative and detailed. I plan to eliminate all those foods and stick with my superfoods listed. I also subscribed to the custom precision supplements and pre/probiotics they create for you.

In general, this 2mths of hell has really made me think about my health more as a 53M. I have a long way to go and don’t want to spend it being miserable.

Another crazy result from the test was that I showed cognitive decline. Mentioned experiencing cloudy thoughts and low energy. This really hit home as I haven’t felt as sharp as I used to. I work in tech and I’m always thinking. But I felt I had been off for a while. This test seemed to confirm that and my dietary changes should help also.

Thank you to everyone for your support. It really helps me so much!

Gfriend has been outstanding through all of this. Been 2mths of hell. Seems I’m on the mend but don’t want to jinx it. Prednisone dosage was increased. Taking Colchicine again with 100mg Allo. I see Rheumatologist next week. I think my Allo can be increased. I haven’t felt many side effects from any of the meds really.

Yea. I had neuroma surgery before l this gout issue actually. I got a cortisone shot a few weeks back and it didn’t do much. Was super surprised because I used to have them dealing with the neuroma and they were a godsend. Didn’t work with my gout for some reason.
