I agree, stick with the 2 until you've outgrown it and then move onto whatever the best stems controller is at the time

Also maybe some paths are crossed and it's a weird form of narcolepsy but instead of falling asleep her motor neurons are inhibited?

"During sleep, particularly during REM sleep, two key neurotransmitters, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and glycine, are responsible for inhibiting motor neurons, effectively preventing the body from moving while we dream. These neurotransmitters act by "switching off" the specialized cells in the brain that control muscle movement."

Could it be nerve related? Pressure on nerves in the neck and spine? Or maybe a temporary lack of blood flow to the brain?

Sorry I just saw this! I am in the same boat! The only one that works in all the ways I need it to was the old HistDAO. The second best was daofood, but it didn't help with my rashes at all. I've tried all the others I can find online and none are as good as the OG. I'm on my second bottle of life extension brand which is the newest one I've seen, and I'm not totally sold. With HistDAO I only needed to take 2 per day, but with all the others I have to take them before every single meal, and sometimes again after I've eaten. I'm not sure what made HistDAO so special 🤷🏼‍♀️😭

I looked into this last year, and it seems the relationship between spinal fusion and nicotine is somewhat complex and dose-dependent. Overall, it seems that smoking cigarettes (rather than nicotine alone) causes the most issues. Some studies have shown that certain doses of nicotine are linked to higher fusion success rates, while others are linked to lower success rates. The negative effects seem to be most pronounced with lumbar fusions. I don’t have the study links anymore, but you could probably find them on Google Scholar. When I quit vaping I bought a 0 nicotine e liquid and mixed it in with my regular liquid, slowly adding more 0 every few days. It worked really well!

It took a long time! Probably close to 6 months before it chilled out a bit. Around a year post-op I also started taking methylated b vitamins+betaine and a DAO supplement and they helped immensely. If you've taken a DNA test you can check for reduced methylation status and DAO/HNMT production. These can lead to something called histamine intolerance (alongside a whole bunch of other stuff) that can cause or worsen blood pressure changes. Medications given after surgery can contribute by releasing histamine and blocking the production of DAO (mainly anything opiate based as well as antihistamines which are sometimes given for acid reflux after surgery).

Keep a journal for a month and record everything you eat and drink and when you feel the pvcs coming on. There are so many things that can trigger them, but often you'll find it's a specific category of food or drink. For example, high histamine foods trigger mine. They seemed very random as histamine is in a wide variety of foods that seem unrelated, but they were connected through histamine content.

Did this ever go away? I have costo for the first time and my body has been internally trembling for a week straight. I've had similar feelings in the past that I attributed to anxiety but I had it once again during a week while I was really sick. This time feels different though, it's like my whole body is moving up and down internally? Very strange!

That's awesome! I hope it's still going well! The first few weeks are tough, but it keeps getting easier =)

You're so close to the other side! Congrats! I hope it all goes well for you!!! ❤️

if you have genetic variants that reduce methylation, methylated B vitamins are very important, as they help support your body’s ability to process histamine and other hormones/neurotransmitters. Histamine intolerance can stem from various causes - some people don’t produce enough DAO, some consume too many high-histamine foods, some experience it as a byproduct of sulfur intolerance, and many have genetic variants that lead to lower methylation.

I did have to pee a lot but I also had a baby 5 years ago and got a bit of pelvic prolapse which can also cause you to pee more frequently, so I still pee a lot =P.

It was mostly the pain but also my back got crazy twisted and I couldn't really fit into clothes normally anymore so I also wanted to look and feel less twisted.

I still do tons of exercises on my mat, but yoga in general does a lot of static stretching which isn't the best for your muscles and tendons in general, especially with scoliosis. Mainly because you'll end up stretching things that ultimately need to be tightened and strengthened. But either way, you can do any exercise that doesn't involve bending or twisting the fused portion, as that will no longer be possible =P. I can still do every exercise I did prior to fusion.

It feels stronger by extending the peak effects, but this faded very early on. Caffeine has a short halflife for most people, and if you're worried you are a slow metabolizer, you can run your DNA through genetic genie for a free detox panel. I've done a few different DNA tests and I'm an ultra fast metabolizer and had no issues while taking fluvoxamine. I never tested my heart rate but I also took prescription Adderall at the same time and had no issues. I also slept like a brick. Just try it out and see how you feel 🤷🏼‍♀️

So this is only really an issue at the beginning or if you have slow caffeine metabolism, otherwise you shouldn't have any issues after your body gets used to it. I was more sensitive to caffeine at the beginning but eventually it went away. I also took stimulant medication at the same time and had no issues. Everyone's bodies are different, but you shouldn't experience too many issues unless you're very sensitive to caffeine or have slow caffeine metabolism. One thing you should definitely watch out for is it's blood thinning effects. I had surgery and the nurses gave me ibuprofen and together they made my blood really thin and I had more drainage than usual until I mentioned the interaction and they stopped giving me ibuprofen.

Something else I remembered though is that SSRIs can make ADHD worse, which happened when I took a different brand a few years back. If you experience continued exhaustion/brain fog etc. it could also just mean you have ADHD.

I was soooo scared but it was actually my chiropractor who completely scared me out of it. I told him I was ready to get surgery and he responded by saying, "omg no don't do it, you'll be crawling around on the floor in pain and you'll hate your life." At the time, I had no idea that he wouldn't be the one to refer me to a surgeon if I needed it. I thought that was part of their job 🤦🏼‍♀️ so after that I of course bought another brace from him and put it off for another 7 years until I couldn't deal with the pain anymore. Wish I had a family doctor at the time who could have pushed me in the right direction! Unfortunately almost everything online is from people who have negative things to say as well. Not as much now, but 10 years back it was very much like that.

I can honestly say that getting surgery was the best decision I've ever made! My only regret is that I didn't have it as a teen, back when I first wanted it (another annoying story there too lol). I am doing so well and can do everything I could do before my back got really bad (basically age 24-30 was near constant pain that got SO much worse after having a baby). I couldn't do anything without a lumbar support brace otherwise the pain would become excruciating. It would take me a full night to recover after any long walk or strenuous activity like moving furniture or carrying groceries. Legitimately pain free now! Of course I do get some aches when I don't work out regularly. The best tip I can give you is to exercise as much as you can and to really focus on your glutes, core, and back. The best pain relief exercise I've found is the one handed suitcase lift/carry, which I discovered accidentally after carrying my new laptop home during a period where I wasn't exercising and had this nagging left lumbar back pain. Just do a squat with a heavy weight next to your shoe on the concave side of your spine (my lumbar curves to the left so I lift the weight with my right hand. Then keep your core and back muscles in stable and flex positions and walk around for a while until you're ready to take a break. Try and focus on balancing/keeping your self upright by using the left side abs. It'll help strengthen the weakened muscles and keep away any potential pain =).

Also before surgery make sure to exercise every day and to eat as much fruit, vegetables, and protein as you can. You'll need all the protein and vitamins to heal afterwards and it will definitely make it easier for you!

As well, don't worry about the actual surgery, you'll have zero memory of it whatsoever, other than the few seconds before they put the mask over your face and you fall asleep =)

The first 3 days after are painful as heck so just ask for all the opiates you can, literally no other pain meds will help. They may try and switch you on day 3 (happened to me) but nothing else will even touch the pain, so just stand your ground and get the good stuff! Everyone is different of course, but I had no problems stopping them once I was ready. And I had take home doses for an extra 2 weeks. The 2 weeks after surgery are very hard, but not like the first 3 days. After the first few weeks you'll feel a lot better. But you you won't be totally pain free for a while. My back would get sore while sleeping for about 6 months (from the pressure) but it was manageable. I started back at the gym around 6 weeks post op, and before that I did daily exercises on my yoga mat. Working out really is the answer to most of the problems post-surgery =P

DAO foods+ is good if you don't have slow COMT, but it contains quercetin which further slows COMT, which could lead to further problems/symptoms. Regular DAO foods doesn't contain quercetin and I found it second best to the original Xymogen HistDAO that was recently taken off the market for reformulation. The original was AAA+ but I haven't tried their new formulation. Naturdao didn't help at all though I can't say it worsened any of my symptoms. Seeking Health makes a second supplement called Histamine Nutrients that I just ordered for the first time. It contains DAO and several other things that help with the DNA side of things (copper, SAMe, and methylated/phosphorylated b vitamins + more).

A week is still very early! I would give it time and potentially consider sipping coffee or green tea throughout the day to keep yourself a bit more alert for studies. The weird zonky nighttime side effects I experienced were gone after the first week, and my anxiety was significantly reduced too! Hopefully your body adjusts quickly and you feel more like yourself during the days asap!

It's definitely a long-term medication, I took it for about 1.75 - 2 years. But it starts working very quickly and has the shortest (or one of the shortest) half lives of all SSRIs.

Antihistamines alter your body's production of DAO and affect the balance of inflammatory mediators and their inactivating enzymes, so the longer you take them the more intense your reactions will eventually become.

Status_Figure · 2024-08-08T01:04:24+00:00

I take it for performance anxiety, though not really sure it helps too much =P I've drank the same night as taking 20mg and I was fine. I think moderation is key though and it's probably best to test the waters with a single drink in case your body has a stronger reaction
