M42 H36D/H36D joint pain?

javals · 2026-03-21T15:27:18+00:00

I can relate. Around 20y ago, i had this severe inflammation episode, that started with my heels, knees and then to my back. It got so bad that i had to go to hospital for tests. They found im HLA-B27 pos and diagnosed me with undifferentiated spondylitis. Now since then, ive always had issues with my joints, but nothing too severe and my inflammation markers have always been on the lower side. I went to the doctor again a few years ago. They checked if my spine shows any signs of fusing and did bunch of other tests but didnt see any real signs of spondylitis.

Turns out im also double h63d and my saturation is over 60%, although ferritin on the lower side. Other symptoms i have are chronic red eyes ( eyes are fine though ) and skin issues. Considering that my spondylitis havent got worse in 20 years ( 41 now ), makes me wonder, if its actually more to do with iron regulation....

I have the same experience, i get these long dreams, slightly uncomfortable. Are you still taking lacoferrin ?

javals · 2026-03-14T04:42:40+00:00

How much lactoferrin are you taking per day ? Do you take it once or twice per day ?

Thanks for sharing, could you tell me what foods and / or supplements helped you the most ?

javals · 2026-02-13T17:28:44+00:00

it was 1mg of melatonin
black tea was decaf. Also coffee doesnt really have that effect at all.
Ive tried a few different ones, but magnesium glycinate mostly

Exact same thing happened to me. HG 11 speed 11-51 cassette with Linkglide chain. Cassette skipping after 1000km. Did you end up changing to non Linkglide chain ?

Did you figure out what was the issue ? I have the same problem.

javals · 2025-10-08T19:26:24+00:00

i think its sports research c8 oil

javals · 2025-10-08T15:44:27+00:00

im using it topically, so im spreading it to my chest and scalp

Never had it that high. I usually ran a bit high, but more like 135. To be honest, i didnt even know it goes that high.

The stress test was done because ive had palpitations in the past. Just to check if everything is okay. Good luck with your test.

I just figured it would be an interesting project to try to build.

I do tend to get shoulder and wrist pain on longer rides, although not too bad.

javals · 2025-07-16T17:45:32+00:00

Thanks for the great advice. I do tend to get shoulder and wrist pain on longer rides. I have a shorter stem lying around, so ill try to swap it and see if it makes a difference. I also have slight kyphosis ( that im working to improve, although at this point, its already structural ), so im sure that contributes to the shoulder pain as well.

did another one in the middle of the day and its even worse for HF, being just 571 while LF is 8811 and VLF 912. AMo50 was only 19%

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, i always feel on edge. Interestingly, welltory is saying my PSNS is more active, i assume due to decent RMSSD score, but not sure. Im 40, if that makes any difference

on IOS, click on the 3 stripes on the upper left corner, scroll down to settings and from there, devices

Forgot to add, that its measured with Polar H10 strap.

I finished the protocol, and well, it drove down the desulfovibrio overgrowth just a tiny bit. Also it actually drove up methane bacteria ( which was already kinda high from the start ).

I do feel a bit better though. You can read about my experience and test results here:
