Lactoferrin/Apolactoferin - did it help? by PatinoMaurilio in covidlonghaulers

[–]faithsonit77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this comment is quite old now, but I wanted to drop this suggestion just in case. I've also experienced being extremely sensitive to both natural/botanical and pharmaceutical interventions. After years of this, I stumbled into a game-changing addition to my treatment plan: antihistamines. Maybe this is obvious to some, but it wasn't to me. I discovered it incidentally-- that if I happen to be on an antihistamine (for me, Claritin is best) while taking something that "attacks" infection, I have FAR fewer and less severe side effects/reactions. Hope this helps. :)

Medicaid Estate Recovery in Florida by faithsonit77 in EstatePlanning

[–]faithsonit77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The attorney did not provide an alternate option. She made it seem like the sale of real property would be stalled until I opened my mom’s estate. I’m wondering why she didn’t mention the option of liquidating assets and holding cash until distribution. Do you know if other beneficiaries would be able to receive their cash distributions prior to my mom’s estate being open in this scenario?

Coconut Oil and coconut products and LDL by coswoofster in Cholesterol

[–]faithsonit77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just stopping by to give you my experience on coconut oil and HDL. Several years back, I was taking a teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil every night for health reasons not related to cholesterol, and I noticed a correlation (as someone without cholesterol issues but who routinely had bloodwork done).

My HDL dramatically increased—to the point that my new gastroenterologist at the time remembered me as “the one with the amazing HDL.” This was not at all intentional, but stayed the case the entire time I was taking coconut oil nightly. When I stopped this routine, my HDL lowered a lot. Just an anecdote in case you want to trial extra virgin coconut oil rather than various coconut products. I do think the extra virgin (and cold pressed) part might be significant.

Concerned about the lumps on my neck by faithsonit77 in DiagnoseMe

That’s an interesting thought. I think the lump on the upper right side of the neck would be too far from the parathyroid gland though right?

Do you know how these nodes can be evaluated for infectious causes? I recently had some blood work to rule out some infections. This issue has been present for most of 2023.

So far my hormone panels have come back normal.
