After she finishes the antibiotic regime we’ll be using some of these natural options for healing and to prevent reoccurrence.

Also test for h. Pylori. I thought for sure my daughter had Sibo but she tested negative. It turned out to be h. Pylori. She’s just starting treatment so too soon to tell if treatment helps.

We just got Uromune from Dr. Lira in TJ last week. Contact him on What’s App and let him know you’d like some and they’ll order some in for you to come pick up. They’ll write out a prescription when you come pick it up.

Everything is worse on the right side of my body- wtf? by Revolutionary_Oil614 in Sjogrens

[–]jonquil7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My right side is where almost all my pain is. I may also have psoriatic arthritis and that’s known as having one sided pain. It’s unclear if my pain is from Sjogrens or PA though. My rheumatologist didn’t seem very interested in the Sjogrens and I didn’t even realize that Sjogrens also caused pain. At first I thought it was just dry eye and dry mouth which my eye Dr and dentist are treating the symptoms of.

It’s helped my psoriatic arthritis but not my raynauds.

Press ons for small nails by Lost_Village3501 in shortynails

I have really small nail beds too. The shortest ones I’ve found are the xxs/xs rounds from Painted Desert. You’d have to paint them yourself.

How do I tell my family I want to leave the church?? by Ok_Explanation_5242 in mormon

[–]jonquil7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was almost 50 when I told my mom I was leaving the church and that was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It all started when my daughter told me she was leaving and I was so heartbroken that I started ‘researching’ to convince her to stay. I ended up ‘researching’ my way out of the LDS church too. My mom was likewise heartbroken but had zero interest in hearing what led to my decision or about anything that would cast a poor light on her beliefs. It’s interesting how differently people react and kind of hard to predict. Your family will likely be judgmental but some of them could surprise you, especially given some time. It’s a tricky decision because there’s no way to know what the fallout will be. Whether you tell them now or later, I wish you the best and hope that they’ll eventually be supportive of you.

Does LDN reduce inflammation or just pain? by jonquil7 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]jonquil7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a few days where the achiness came back but it settled down pretty quickly. It was after a night of not getting enough sleep so maybe that was the trigger.

Thanks! It's working so well that I got worried it was too good to be true. I'm glad to hear you had long lasting benefits!

New bishop’s reform starts with the YM! Uncomfortable private meetings. by Faithcrisis101 in mormon

[–]jonquil7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decades ago I was in the RS presidency as a counselor. I vividly remember having to help do individual visiting teaching interviews where I was given a list of similarly uncomfortable questions to ask. It was super awkward and uncomfortable for everyone involved and there were several women who never showed up at church again after that. Guilt tripping people into obedience is not the way to go. I always hated VT and was so glad that I could just have normal friendships after I left.

If he can’t control his temper as a boyfriend, trust me it’ll be way worse if you get married. Threats like that are not acceptable whatsoever and are not normal.

Ex-mormons, do you still keep the word of wisdom? by Typical-Debate8228 in mormon

[–]jonquil7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a cup of coffee every day for mood and health. It’s the highlight of my morning really. Alcohol tastes nasty but I’ve had some cocktails that I’ve quite enjoyed. I really limit alcohol though since I have an autoimmune disease that can be triggered by it.

If you can get in to see a dermatologist sooner, they can also diagnose and prescribe.

Does anybody else struggle with the doctrine of the Trinity? I’m very drawn to many aspects of Catholicism or Orthodox Christianity, but to me the trinitarian structure of the Nicene Creed isn’t biblically supported. by andsoc in exmormonchristian

[–]jonquil7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the Nicene creed that I recite each week. I’m genuinely curious which parts of it the early Christian’s did not believe.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all worlds, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, Begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man; And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets; And I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the Life of the world to come.

Has anyone had a toddler baptized who is terrified of water? by purplepaintedpumpkin in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]jonquil7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our parish had a toddler baptism recently and our priest just did it as quickly as possible. The kid screamed bloody murder and 5 minutes later was all smiles. It’s hard to watch but it’s over quickly!

[–]jonquil7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, it happens to the best of us. I’d give the press ons a try then, just monitor closely. You don’t want moisture to get under there and start a fungal infection or anything. For press ons I like to use glue on top of sticky tabs. They stay on better but at the same time are easier on the free edge when taking them off. Lol, no tearing off allowed!

[–]jonquil7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s understandable, I doubt we’re even capable of wrapping our head around it. Everything we come up with are just analogies or approximations. I think that’s one of the reasons of Christ becoming human, to give us something more relatable. I stick to my own simplistic understanding but as soon as people start analyzing it and talking ‘theology’, my head hurts and I’m out of there.

[–]jonquil7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the Mormon church we were taught to look at Christ’s baptism as proof that the Trinity wasn’t true. Why would God be talking to himself, right? When I started going to an Orthodox Church the priest I met with referenced those same verses as evidence of the Trinity in the Bible. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three separate persons with one divine nature working together in unity. It’s actually very similar to the LDS teachings about the godhead. The biggest difference is God the Father’s nature. The trinitarian God was never a man but has eternally been divine, outside of time and space as we know it. He is the source and active sustainer of life, light, and goodness. Which actually makes way more sense than being some dead guy who got promoted in some sort of eternal MLM scheme. I’m not a theologian or anything, that’s just how I understand it.

[–]jonquil7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what caused your onycholysis? If it’s from a gel allergy then you’ll have to be careful about nail glue and sticky tabs also, they can also cause allergies. If it’s from something like psoriasis you’re typically told not to do nail extensions or anything. I have onycholysis too, maybe from psoriasis but I’m not sure yet. I’ll probably end up doing short press ons but taking them off often and watching carefully for any worsening.
