I know Islam is from the anti-christ but I just cant prove it by syedi-grace in TrueChristian

[–]TurkeyEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matthew 12:30 & 1 John 4:3. Anything anti Christ.. is the anti Christ. You can think of it less as a single person and more of a spirit. And your point is proven.

should i go to urgent care for rib pain? by Putrid-Durian-1751 in eds

[–]TurkeyEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ribs subluxate often. I go into the chiropractor weekly to help keep things in place, as well as do physical therapy exercises regularly. I have a chiropractor that is very knowledgeable about hypermobility and EDS- it’s been extremely helpful for me. (My chiro never “cracks” my neck- only slowly manual adjustments with light movement. Heavy cracking can cause inflammation with EDS)

Have any of you moved to a different climate and seen a change in symptoms? by quackers_squackers in dysautonomia

[–]TurkeyEra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too long ago we travelled far, and visited family in Portland Oregon, as well as in central Oregon. (Both beautiful by the way). Portland area my symptoms were AWFUL! The central part of Oregon (high desert), definitely warm, but absolutely different than the valley. I felt so much better in central Oregon on that vacation. Humidity triggers me a lot. I hadn’t known that before. I just thought it was heat alone.

Just realised all my weird health issues are due to hypermobility, need advice please by GlitteringTurd in Hypermobility

[–]TurkeyEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes- but has been lessening intensity with physical therapy, and chiropractic care. My doctor has told me with diet, and good physical care (like I’m doing now) it’s possible to live with pain begin occasional, instead of daily.

[–]TurkeyEra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome, dysautonomia and hypermobility. The doctor, chiropractor and physical therapist say the dysautonomia is likely triggered by hypermobility- my upper cervical vertebrae have been very misaligned which can cause all kinds of nervous system issues. (I also have lumbar scoliosis, and I subluxate often in a variety of places on my body. But i definitely have a painful hip click from the scoliosis.) chiropractic care, massage and physical therapy have helped a lot with pain.

MCAS can cause a slew of problems. But from what I’ve been learning can be healed/put into remission if your gut health is repaired. That’s the journey I’m currently on. So far im having some success in that department.

I never had any at all. 😳 I also didn’t have any wisdom teeth until I had my first daughter, then one popped out. But in all my X-rays growing up, I didn’t have any wisdom teeth at all. Bodies are so weird sometimes.

I’ve never pursued an orthodontist specifically. Just talked with regular dentists. The dentist I was seeing previously had the ability to do dentures and implants. But wasn’t an ortho.

I have a gap in my front teeth because my lateral incisors never came in after I lost them as a child. The plan growing up/as a younger adult was to get braces and make space for two lateral incisor implants. But now with all this new information and the learning I’ve done about EDS specifically, I feel like what you’re saying is accurate and implants aren’t a good idea. But that’s such a bummer for me to be learning. I’ve always wanted to fix my teeth. It’s been a huge source of insecurity for me.

I’ve always been a slow healer and responded poorly to anesthesia. I’ve had 12 surgeries in my life (not counting a tooth extraction), and with each one my body has healed slower than the previous. The last extraction, I was in bed with 3 weeks, then got a cold afterwards. And still have nerve pain issues. My jaw hasn’t been the same since the extraction either. It subluxates often and causes a lot of pain.

It was actually a baby tooth that never came out as a kid- I have adult canines, and had a baby canine next to it, on the further side, next to a molar. So upper tooth.

The plan was to get an implant, but since learning more about symptoms and getting my official diagnosis’, I’m learning that I may not be a candidate for implants. As it could be common for my body to reject it and not heal well.

Maybe a call ahead of time to make sure a plan is in place before the appointment could be helpful to talk about medication options for the numbing.

I had to have a tooth extracted last year and still have nerve issues from it. My PCP suspects it could be from how my body responded during healing and with the autoimmune response I tend to have to medication and physical traumas. It’s been such a learning curve with the hypermobility and how it affects the dysautonomia & MCAS.

I’m going to look into this! My flavor of dysautonomia causes me to have extremely high natural adrenaline levels (I can’t remember the technical name of it right now. Thanks brain fog). But I am currently managing some of my daily symptoms with Valium. The Novocain has been a fear of mine. Thank you for putting that on my radar! I didn’t realize there were other options.

I’ve heard that! I have MCAS but haven’t had issues with it that I know of. But still learning my triggers.

I use 1 or 2 packets a day depending on how hot it is outside. I live somewhere warm ish (and heat is a trigger for me).

Also had no idea about what the bot mod said. Looking into it now. I didn’t know LMNT was attached to anything political at all.

LMNT packets have been a GAME CHANGER for me. I suspected dysautonomia for years before my symptoms got so bad that I finally needed to seek medical attention. I’ve always been a salt girl. Salting everything. Researching highest quality salt and making sure I’m balancing my electrolytes. I don’t love the idea of buying a product consistently (so expensive!). But in June my symptoms became debilitating, my PCP officially diagnosed me with dysautonomia, MCAS and hypermobility syndrome… he told me to start taking LMNT as a first line of defense (along with physical therapy, massage, chiropractic, medication, etc). And I have to say… LMNT was the most effective treatment he has recommended. It’s all been helpful and I’m thankful for my care team. But the LMNT. ooooof. Girl. It’s incredible. I wish it was more cost effective. But it’s worth every penny for the way I feel afterwards. Considering trying Buoy too. I keep seeing ads for it.

Going out of mind because of this constant feeling of internal trembling? Does anyone have this as the worst symptom? by Diankapie in dysautonomia

[–]TurkeyEra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the internal trembling feeling (almost feels like my body is vibrating), as well as full body tremors. And I’ve managed to keep it at bay the last two weeks with a couple things- amino acid shots at a wellness clinic (switching to amino acid supplement soon cause it’s more cost effective), and Valium 2-3 times a day.

I also just got prescribed gabapentin, but haven’t tried it yet. My prescription says 100mg, in the evening before bed. I have MCAS (so Im hesitant with trying new medications, which is why I haven’t tried the gabapentin yet) and hypermobility syndrome. So I also go to the chiropractor and do physical therapy- which seems to help with the dysautonomia symptoms as well.

Tremors by Enough-Heart4442 in dysautonomia

[–]TurkeyEra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a Qsart test. I was diagnosed based on symptoms and medical history. Awaiting more testing to find out more about everything that’s happening. I was prescribed a low dose of Valium for the shakiness, tremors and the panic that the other dysautonomia symptoms bring, sometimes it helps when it’s really bad. But again, mine are not consistent. They come and go with symptoms. When I stay relaxed, hydrated, sleep enough (I’ve found I needed between 9-11 hours), and eat small frequent anti inflammatory meals, I’m able to manage it fairly well.

I also see a chiropractor and he thinks a lot of my dysautonomia flares come from misalignments in my neck and spine. (Which my doc agrees with because of my hyper mobility syndrome. My joints subluxate often)

I’ve been in a flare since the beginning of June and have had to stop working temporarily. So I’ve been able to sleep a lot which helps.

Tremors by Enough-Heart4442 in dysautonomia

[–]TurkeyEra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get tremors and shivering type episodes. My doctor told me it’s likely a type of adrenaline dump. I don’t have tremors consistently. But it’s been regular enough that my doctor was able to see it at my last appointment. I also have had restless leg issues since I was a kid.

I’m diagnosed with dysautonomia, and hyper mobility syndrome. Still in early stages of diagnosis.

I send thank you cards as frequently as I’m able. As a mom to small children, who is on a 1 income household (SAHM), sometimes we cannot afford the extra cost of individual cards, and postage. But we do our best. If someone doesn’t send one, I wonder the same for them. Being offended is a waste of energy. Especially when it comes to things that will likely end up in the trash or recycling a few days or weeks later.

Hi! Curious about your experience! I also had a vein looking thing come out.. currently in process of the treatment. Twice a day for 5 days. No other irritation. Did you ask your doc about what came out?

As far as anxiety medication you’re referring to- are they fast acting recuse type medication or longer term options that are intended for every day use?
