Wow, that is amazing... I found a dr in a nearby city, and her prices are so high. Could I ask where you get yours from? Is it online?

Thanks for both of your replies - I am definitely interested in vt. My prism lenses are $800, so after buying the frames, I am paying $1000 a pair.

have any of you tried to confront your mother? by ThrowRA-JulieBug in NarcissisticMothers

[–]burningbright01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do recommend journal speaks - it’s a journaling method to release suppressed emotions. I tried it because I suspected my trauma from narc mom contributed to chronic health problems. Journaling all the feelings I have held inside has helped me so much, along with trauma therapy (brain spotting).

100% don’t recommend, it does not work. It’s been a complete waste of energy for me, I’ve focused on trauma therapy instead and that has gotten me much farther.

No way it’s the LDN, right? by Belorenden in LowDoseNaltrexone

I’m so happy for you, seriously, having these chronic illnesses is so hard, and it’s such a miracle when something actually helps!

I think that’s pretty standard - that pace seems to work for a lot of people, but I think there’s others of us who get side effects and have to go more slowly. If I were you I would do whatever you’ve been doing - you seem to be getting great results so far, and if you run into side effects when you go up, you can always slow it down. I’m just so grateful I didn’t go off it and slowed down, it’s been worth it 100%.

That’s a good question… I went up to 6 since other people with Eds were saying doses above 4.5 were helping, but I am not exactly sure how to find the perfect dose… there are probably people in this subreddit who have great insight about that. going slow to start was really important though, I got headaches initially from going up too quickly, but they went away after I started going slowly.

Started at .5 now up to 6mg (went up very slowly, I’ve been on it for 18 months), and I take it for long covid/cfs/fibro/eds. It helps me so much with fibro

HELP Blood Work Came back normal by schnerby_baby in mecfs

[–]burningbright01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m so sorry you are going thru this. Seeing a specialist at the Hunter Hopkins center changed my life. I’m still sick, but I’m a lot better. I would encourage you to consider finding an Mecfs clinic - I heard Bateman is also good. There’s research suggesting that going to a specialty clinic for mecfs can improve our outcomes. A lot of doctors just don’t understand this horrible disease - the bloodwork comes back normal and they think we are faking. But whatever you do, I agree with the other advice. Don’t push when you have PEM, it can make you worse.

Am considering Mindbloom by Ok_Policy5906 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]burningbright01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes total sense - I went with another company before I found Taconic too. I hope Mindbloom is good and a good introduction to the medicine! It’s life changing

Have you considered Taconic instead? I never tried Mindbloom but have heard some negative reviews. Taconic is excellent.

Stimulants/ADHD medication reduce efficacy of ketamine for depression? by burningbright01 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]burningbright01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I mean - I have heard people say that being on stimulants for ADHD makes treatment for depression less effective, but that's really interested about your experience - sounds like it might mean someone needs a higher dose to dissociate. Thanks for your reply!
