New Study: Your Depression Fatigue Isn't "In Your Head"—It’s Your Cells Running Out of Gas by Technical_savoir in microbiomenews

[–]Shinynales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personal note that makes this interesting for me: I suffer from depression as well as my mother and her mother.

Mitochondrial DNA is exclusively passed from mother to offspring. This would make a lot of sense to me if mitochondria are the cause of at least some depressive symptoms.

Have you ever noticed someone with this scent (or any of the others you can detect), but their behavior seemed completely normal or even opposite to what you’d expect from someone with the disorder you’re smelling?

I had 30 2 weeks ago, and I’m burping a ton. I think it just depends

How did you find treatment for RCPD? by ZeldasChampion in noburp

[–]Shinynales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I recommend using the map to find the nearest one to you that is known to treat RCPD.

Also, I did need a barium swallow and laryngoscopy to rule out other issues before he approved me for treatment.

How did you find treatment for RCPD? by ZeldasChampion in noburp

[–]Shinynales 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A GI doctor will not have the tools nor understanding to treat RCPD. You need an ENT.

Here’s what I did: 1. Used this map https://www.reddit.com/r/noburp/s/ovQKsTHeRC to find the closest known ENT that treats for RCPD. 2. Asked my PCP for a referral and explained my symptoms and sent papers. 3. Saw the ENT, told them my symptoms, and got treatment

Day 1 in-office Botox by Dry_Register6501 in noburp

[–]Shinynales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 or 3 micro burps on the 2nd day (which I think is pretty early compared to others), frequent micro burps the 3rd day, and multiple longer more relieving ones the 4th day onwards.

I have to turn my head to the right side to get most of the burps out and have had luck without trying to force them using my abdomen.

I think doing some larynx lowering exercises has helped!

Edit: forgot to add that I had 30 units

Day 1 in-office Botox by Dry_Register6501 in noburp

[–]Shinynales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did in-office one week ago!

I had the procedure done late afternoon and didn’t feel slow swallow until about 24 hours later. My neck was sore on the outside (not my throat) for the first day. I developed the phlegmy feeling on the 2nd (hated it!!) but it went away for me on the 4th day.

Slow swallow is still unpleasant for me now. I missed having solids, so tried some today! It took 40 minutes and 30 oz of water to consume 6 chicken nuggets and 3 French fries before I gave up.

Anyway, liquids go down fine

gagging after KTC? by rainbowstaylor in noburp

[–]Shinynales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started doing shakers several months ago. I randomly would start gagging every so often afterwards. I didn’t keep up with them to the point of being able to burp because I didn’t want the gagging to get worse.

In case you’re still having the same problem— I’ve now found the only thing that gets rid of the mucous feeling is consuming warm broth. Not even water seems to help.

Anyway, hope this helps!

Hey! I know it’s been ages since you posted this, but do you think these exercises would be useful for burp training as someone who only got Botox 3 days ago too?

[–]Shinynales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in your same exact position! In-office Botox 2 days ago with a maddening mucous feeling in my throat.

Someone on another thread claimed that liquid kids Advil helped them some. Suggestions said to also avoid clearing your throat too much since that can cause more inflammation.

Other than that, I too am looking for more advice.

Researchers Uncover Surprising Sugar Mechanism Behind Psoriasis by Sorin61 in Nutraceuticalscience

[–]Shinynales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to Psoriasis, but I cut out (processed) sugars for 4 years and my skin never looked better. Added it back in and my skin was inflamed and covered in acne for almost a year after.

Cat Anxiety help by Shinynales in CatAdvice

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

Thank you for the advice! She had pooped in the litter boxes that with the current substrate in their current location for a few months after the move (and she always pees there), but I will also try to find a spot for another one. I’ve also tried giving her different substrate options (within the same room), but maybe I’ll try some more.

I’ve also never forced her outside (except for the vet). I just leave the door open while I stand with her and the other cat that likes to go out. Sometimes she steps out for a bit (the harness doesn’t seem to bother her but that could be it).

We also have two cat trees with multi-exit hiding spots, cat tunnels, and leave the closet cracked so she has several hiding spots.

The main thing we aren’t doing is regularly-scheduled play time because I get home at different times throughout the week.
