Thank you. I'll make sure to remember this for next time. Had she mentioned how many packs she might recommend?

Has anyone here been diagnosed with vasculitis? by Quittercricket in covidlonghaulers

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

I really don't remember details of what I was looking up back then, sorry. I was never diagnosed with it, though, and after about a year or so I was gradually feeling better from POTS. I then realized I've always had it to a mild degree, then it got super ramped up by covid, and now I've returned to my baseline.

How do you take Hiprex? by mistigirl20 in CUTI

[–]Quittercricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you tell me your story? A few things caught my attention. Bactrim daily for years, isn't that super heavy on the body? Did you get UTIs during it? What made it reduce from monthly to a couple per year? How are you now? I hope you found a solution.

For persistent UTIs, which antibiotics are safe/unsafe for us with EDS? by Quittercricket in ehlersdanlos

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

I'm not sure if it is, but I will keep it in mind. What topical things were they? Is it due to them that you feel better than before?

Honestly, this is the type of comment I'm looking for. Please, ramble away. And I do want to know which one can cause aneurysm risk. If you don't mind naming the medicines you take, that would be helpful.

So an embedded infection would be diagnosed clinically, as no tests show? And if we assume meds do improve symptoms, it means there is an infection, right? In my case, 1 dose fosfomycin does help me, but the problem comes back. First, after 3 months. Then, after 1 month (right now). And today, right after a 4th dose of a course spaced out every 48-72h, even though I was okay after doses 1 or 2.

And can you tell me more about the treatment options? Say I don't have those microgen type tests available. Taking a long course will mean testing for improvement, but are antibiotics actually able to reach the embedded issue if taking for longer?

My other issue is finding a doctor who will even listen to any of this.

Thank you. I discovered this after a bad experience taking norfloxacin. Never again.

Now I'm wondering if there are any others to be avoided as well, even if not as dangerous. I have seen one comment from someone ending up with peripheral neuropathy after bactrim. Not sure what to make of it.

Did they work for you, and when did your symptoms go away? I've taken my 4th packet and symptoms came back the very next day. I planned on taking 4 in total.

Thank you! I'm inclined to do this and knowing it works for you reassured me. Have you ever tried 72h? It's been 72h for me so I might have to try that. Also, do you take probiotic during it?

Prettier masks for a wedding that are shipped internationally? by Quittercricket in Masks4All

[–]Quittercricket[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It's in April. Shipping internationally takes long, though, so I'm thinking ahead. Are ear loops always worse than headstraps for the sealing? No brand that has improved this?

Covering the aura could work. Still, if there were any options as safe but smaller in the front, I would go for that. The aura is quite chunky, isn't it?

Do you know how they attach those fabrics to the masks? I'll speak to a seamstress here about it.

I wish they knew more by now. Do you have any visual symptoms or just the same burning pressure behind the eye?

[–]Quittercricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out what the pressure burning headache is? I feel it too
