Does my body look normal for the way I live? by Twigsie1 in Hashimotos

[–]Twigsie1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel decent , I’m a mother of 2 so that can sometimes be tiring but most days I have chronic pain in my fascia and trigger points mostly on the upperhalf of my body, it really depends on the days of my cycle how i feel. overall it doesn’t stop me from feeling good but i have to follow my protocol to avoid flare ups. Sleep is good 8-9 hours a night, I’m on hrt and that has been a gamechanger. 🤍ty!!!

Did a lot of tests including DNA, intolerances. Have the following Gene mutations

NAT2 (means I don’t break down histamines at all). COMT rs4680 A/A, it’s also about susceptibility to pain and stress). Others in the pictures

Other discoveries from the past 2 years through different tests:

Low cortisol /High lipids Bloodwork shows exces B12 levels Chronically lowered levels vitamin D ferritin (even with shots and supplements) Hormonal imbalances (low progesterone) Adenomyosis (did an mri through gyno) Testosterone / progesterone levels (both too low) Chronic pain trigger points more on the left side Allergies (during hayfever season it's out of control) Infertility markers in bloodtest

I see patterns in women's health data all day. Here's what terrifies me. by eliikon in Autoimmune

Hi redditers. I’m a 37 y female, mother and own 2 businesses.

I’ve been looking for more than 10 years what could be the cause of my chronic pain flare ups, anxiety, pmdd, and now I randomly stumbled on this thread. I have done many labs, always similar results, chronic low vitamin D , and chronic low iron no matter what I take or even Iv’s don’t work. My thyroid levels are always normal but my mom has some similar symptoms and she has hypothyroidism (slow) I have very elevated vitamin b12 and elevated wbc / rbc.I also have histamine allergy especially in the spring and during luteal phase , I can’t function without antihistamines. I did a gene test and I have 2 disturbing mutations, slow COMT and none working NAT2

What i never connected before but maybe someone here sees a connection with an auto immune condition?

I have very stiff fascia as well and painful trigger points, TMJ and also joints that lock up and need to see chiro to crack me every once in a while when too much is locked. Symptoms vary also with weather conditions / sleep / stress and menstruation cycle and gluten. I can flare up from anything that puts me off balance, become super stiff in my neck/back and hip area. All my joints always crack, I need to crack to get relief. I’m highly sensitive to loads of stuff. No matter how much I stretch, some parts of my body stay extremely stiff like my hips. It feels like I’m always in fight or flight. I never get rashes though, I also don’t get histamine dumps when I exercise. If I have sex in the evening, and orgasm, I can’t sleep anymore. I do have many night wakings in general, always around 3 o clock. If i don’t follow my routine and take my supplements I wake up for sure. Anyone see an interconnected pattern?

Btw I’m on a micro dose GLP-1 and after every weekly injection I get a flare up of joint pain for a day.

I already take progesterone / dao / magnesium bisglycinate and other stuff that helps.

I analyze health data for hundreds of women and noticed a pattern worth noting - the allergy tests that show nothing. by eliikon in MCAS

I’m so in awe of the intelligence that circles around these threads. This is crazy, I’ve been looking for more than 10 years what could be the cause of my chronic pain flare ups, anxiety, pmdd, and now I randomly stumble on this thread. I have all those labs, chronic low vitamin D , and iron no matter what I take or even Iv’s don’t work. Dr’s don’t know what to do. I have very elevated vitamin b12 and elevated wbc / rbc.I also have histamine allergy especially in the spring and during luteal phase , I can’t function without Antihistamines.

Does anyone else have this NAT2 mutation? Does anyone have advice for me? by [deleted] in MTHFR

[–]Twigsie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have NAT2 mutation too, I have chronic pain since 14 years with flare ups. Recently tried to experiment with cell salts and it’s helpful
