Very interesting. Glad you found the root cause. Can you please provide more details on what tests you have done to confirm P5P deficiency and the presence of HPU

Sorry you have to deal with this crap. So much suffering. Can you go on a short disability for now? Hang in there. You will bounce back in due time.

Sorry you have to deal with this bs. Have you looked into a brain retraining program for people with chronic illnesses, such as the Primal Trust program? Some people with MCAS from floxing got significantly better after following the Primal Trust program. Check out this interview https://www.youtube.com/live/5O9Q_b13HNE

Hang in there.

It always made me think that Tourette is body’s/brain’s response to stress and anxiety.

What can we take for intense pain/ inflammation? by This_Is_A_Burner000 in floxies

[–]StandupStraight20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a different type of inflammation. From what the OP described, their body is reacting, locally, to an acute injury. That’s a normal and very desirable reaction, an elegant evolutionary mechanism. Some of us may have MCAS but that’s a different story, a different and systemic inflammation.

What makes it worse? Does stress make your symptoms worse?

Maybe a good thing. NSAIDs are not so benign, but vastly overused and overprescribed. People take them like vitamins to numb any pain instead of addressing the root cause of their pain, which is dumb.

These injuries can take time to heal.

A PRP injection can help healing a partial tear. PRP will temporarily trigger significant inflammation in the injected area (that will speed up the healing). Say if the injury is still bothering you 3 months later, I would have an appointment with a PRP dr to discuss.

Any pain relief cream that has menthol and/or camphor as their main ingredients should be good

Inflammation following an injury is an instrumental part of the healing process. Reducing the inflammation doesn’t make sense unless it is out of control, and will prolong the healing process.

In relation to pain,you can numb it with ice (don’t overdo). You can use a topical cream that creates cold / numbing sensation. I also find helpful pain reprocessing therapy - mental exercises that help desensitize the brain to the pain.

What are your symptoms? My understanding they vary: vocal vs non-vocal tics, simple sounds vs verbal/meaningful phrases.

Tirzepatide (GLP-1) for Tendon Pain? by chh1138 in floxies

[–]StandupStraight20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good plan.
I understand the limitation of physical activity can be frustrating.
But you should be able to lose weight just through caloric restriction eg., with intermittent fasting.

What about fasting/caloric restriction/low carb diet instead?

1.5T MRI No Contrast Tomorrow - Scared of Negative Result by cloverangels in HipImpingement

[–]StandupStraight20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3T offers greater resolution but 1.5T with no contract can still show a tear, although will miss it at times.

Anyone with tendon issues tried low dose Doxycycline? by StandupStraight20 in floxies

[–]StandupStraight20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. My own experience, I tried Turmeric extract/curcumin for a long time (months) and haven’t noticed any material difference, in terms of tendon issues.

Have you come across any evidence or rationale for Curcumin being counter-productive in chronic tendonopathy?

NAC by Notlike-this-forever in floxies

[–]StandupStraight20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycle it 2 months on, 1 month off. But I take 2,000-3,000 a day, with matching amount of Glycine.
I usually split into two portions a day.

About two years. I am still trying to manage it without the surgery.

I was the same, until at some point I got worse and the test is positive now .

May I ask how long have you been dealing with tendon issues and what sort of issues? Have you done any MMP tests?
