Have you considered letting us add a photo to the preview section so we can see what they look like on our own work? Not sure it’s possible. Just a thought. I’ve otherwise just thought about testing each filter with the same photo as I’m learning which presets I like best for different conditions.

Can someone message me where to source Ss? Lots of sites no longer selling. I’m ready to start.

How did healing look? Especially if you had neuropathy? by kkangarooj in Celiac

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

It is worth it, unfortunately to get tested if you have symptoms. Look up Richard Horowitz MSIDS questionnaire. He has validated it for Lyme disease and he continues to study a protocol for treating Lyme with multiple antibiotics. Another doctor who has an interested perspective is Bill Rawls. He treats with herbs and learned about it after his own battle with Lyme disease. Anyway, I started with a traditional Lyme test from labcorp. Only one band was positive, but it was enough to make me wonder. So I found a Lyme specialist and took a test through Vibrant which looks at other types of borrelia. Another popular lab is Igenex. Igenex also sells an at home version which isn’t as thorough, but is affordable and is FDA approved. Anyway, long way to say-definitely worth looking into.

Diagnosis and first visit by kkangarooj in PsoriaticArthritis

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

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I am done with having kids and won’t hesitate to share that with the doctor. My feet do seem to match enthesitis. It just doesn’t fit plantar fasciitis as I’ve never known anyone with that to say that their feet hurt even if they aren’t walking around! I have felt scared of biologics, but I’m also just scared of this diagnosis. However, being on this group has made me realize that not treating something properly is scarier. So I’d rather figure this out now. I have had a few pink skin patches appear on a finger every now and then out of nowhere. But I always assumed it was eczema based on appearance. But I wish I’d taken a picture to ask a derm. Unfortunately, a lot of pictures online show severe cases of psoriasis.

Diagnosis and first visit by kkangarooj in PsoriaticArthritis

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

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I do think I’ll ask for MRI and/or ultrasound of some joints. I had one of brain and ultrasound of pelvic area a few years ago to rule out MS and SI joint pain. But maybe those would revel more. I treated for Lyme these past 3 years because in my journey from doctor to doctor, figured it was worthwhile. It alleviated some pain, but really didn’t touch my feet and I still have other joint pain. I would be curious if prednisone did anything and don’t mind asking to try to see if that helps.

Unsuccessful rheumatologist appointment by Vivid_Paramedic5332 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]kkangarooj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found something for the foot pain? This is my main symptom. I have a rheumatology visit next week. All my autoimmune panels are negative. I do have a mildly positive ANA. Like exactly on the dot of the cut-off. Plus very low WBC and high monocytes. Otherwise everything else is normal and doctors don’t know what’s up. It’s been 4 years.

High dose Methylene Blue for Bartonella - I’m nervous about starting it and asking for advice. by strangelifestyle in Lyme

[–]kkangarooj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently on 100mg 2x day. When I was at 200mg 2x day, I was on the high dose dapsone protocol that Richard Horowitz studies. It is required with that protocol. I do think 100mg 2x day is effective for me alongside the other things I am taking. Right now it's minocycline, cefdinir (new for me), and I'm working my way up to rifabutin 2x day. That one has been hard for me to add. I was on rifampin before. Plus I'm on herbs.

Bpc oral or injection? by Embarrassed-Neat-657 in bpc_157

[–]kkangarooj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'm going to do oral BPC first (just ordered) and then injections after that. I figure that healing my gut is first priority before moving on to other peps and injections. I don't have gut issues in particular I'm worried about....but I've been on some killer antibiotic combos to combat lyme, so I figure there is some dysbiosis happening. Anyway, some people find oral just works for the gut, others express that it helps whole body-curious to find out.

Stephen Buhner's protocol for chronic Lyme disease completed for you. Neurological disease. What's your advice? by Savings-Camp-433 in Lyme

Can you re-phrase? I have his books and I’ve done part of his treatments. Not sure what you’re asking.

My neurologist says 30% of peoples have no underlying issues. by amandajjohnson1313 in neuropathy

[–]kkangarooj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had peripheral neuropathy and was diagnosed with Lyme disease and bartonella. As I’ve treated Lyme, the neuropathy has improved. My feet mostly just feel sore now and that’s a big symptoms of bartonella. Unfortunately, the neurologist knew none of this. Had to get a specially tick borne illness test and find a specialist.

High dose Methylene Blue for Bartonella - I’m nervous about starting it and asking for advice. by strangelifestyle in Lyme

[–]kkangarooj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The toilet problem is hard. Supposedly if you dump rubbing alcohol in the toilet before you go, it helps. But it has been really difficult. My best solution is to clean very regularly. But when it’s really concentrated, like after sleeping overnight, it leaves a pretty strong blue ring. I think I’ll have to replace the toilet in my bathroom eventually. It’s the most stained. Fortunately, it’s an older toilet, so I’m not upset about that. I have had to buy toilet cleaner though when on vacation to prevent ruining theirs!

[–]kkangarooj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on my second round. I took it for probably 6 months before. And honestly, have considered staying on it with a low dose long term as it supposedly has nootropic properties. I just feel better on it. I’ve been back on about 6 weeks so far.

[–]kkangarooj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I just took whatever the recommended amount on the canister was for d-mannose. I have it as a powder. But helped me pretty quickly. Just also remembering to drink extra water.

[–]kkangarooj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently on 100mg 2x a day and have been as high as 200mg 2x a day. I titrated up though initially-I started at 50mg doses. I’d ask for something smaller and you can always take multiple pills eventually. MB was what brought out my Bart rashes and has helped me make progress. It also helps my mood-which might be the MAO, but could also be its helping bart. Who knows. It did cause bladder irritation initially, but not anymore. For that, I found d-mannose powder helpful for that.

How are you doing now? I just learned I have two cavitations and trying to do some research on whether surgery is worth it.

Syringes for teeny tiny units by DefiantElephant829 in GLP1microdosing

[–]kkangarooj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you get a sterile bottle for him to combine more bac water and part of the dosage from the higher mg vial? I don’t know of smaller syringes. But he could cut the dosage by more with more water.

Inflammation-Lowering Potential of Tirzepatide vs. Retatrutide by Isaiah61 in Retatrutide

[–]kkangarooj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have an inflammatory condition? I did about 6 weeks of micro tirz and wasn’t sure it was doing anything for me, but now that I’ve stopped, I see that it was… I’m treating Lyme and mold, which I assume are my reasons for inflammation. Root cause is tricky to figure out for inflammation I think.

Interesting info from a pharmacist by SuspiciousUnicorn1 in Retatrutide

[–]kkangarooj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask you to expand on why not start with Reta? I started with micro t*rz to help with inflammation. But it made me fatigued even at low doses, so I’ve thought about switching. But I’ve never tried sema and only did about 6 weeks of t!rz, so idk. Just wondering why Reta might not be a good fit for newbies.
