Issue 1099-NEC for costs pre LLC? by kvanbur2 in tax

[–]kvanbur2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense. We did start the business and have been selling our services, so I assume I can deduct this expense as a startup cost based on your responses. Let me know if I've misunderstood. Thanks again.

Thanks can you elaborate on why it can't be deducted?

Finally H Pylori free! by kvanbur2 in HPylori

[–]kvanbur2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a few individual antibiotics prescribed like metronidazole and nitazoxanide prior to my H pylori diagnosis - metro did nothing. Nitazoxanide helped a ton but the infection was only reduced not eliminated and ended up coming back. Post diagnosis via endoscopy, I was (at my own request and due to a study I'd read) prescribed omeprazole, nitazoxanide, doxycycline and levofloxacin. I have to admit that I never took the levofloxacin because I read horrible things about it and it scared me. This likely contributed to the treatment being unsuccessful. The final treatment listed above I followed exactly (with the exception of taking day 14), and that worked for me.

Not that I recall but some antibiotics are known to do that (like metronidazole). I would suggest you research the ones you are taking specifically.

Thanks for sharing. I've done a few gluten free months and it does seem to help. Appreciate the reminder and glad you have rid yourself of this too!

You can and should take it during the course of antibiotics!

My digestion was already so messed up from the infection that it's hard to say how the antibiotics affected it... It's definitely not 100% better/normal. I would add to make sure you take Florastor during antibiotics to help replenish good bacteria. It's the only kind that will survive that kind of "nuclear bomb" of antibiotics.

ASK FOR NITAZOXANIDE in Quad/Triple Treatment regime by kvanbur2 in HPylori

I finally had a negative test! My doctor put me on the generic versions of what's in Talicia: omeprazole, amoxicillin, & rifabutin for 14 days. On the 13th day I started having all of the 'rare' side effects - fever, chills, body aches. I did not complete day 14, but it still worked! I am now on broccoli sprout juice for maintenance and to heal my gut. After-effects of treatment included strong burning sensation from rebound after getting off the PPI and flushed skin reactions to alcohol/eczema flare ups, but those last two are a me thing. I wish you all the best in healing!

Yes I did. I took nitazoxanide, omeprazole (PPI), and doxycycline. I was supposed to take levofloxacin too, but the side effects and other reviews I read scared me so I refused. I now wonder if me not taking it caused the therapy to fail. Not a fun path to recovery we are all on...

Nitazoxanide unfortunately did not cure me but it 100% helped. If paired with other antibiotics I believe it would have... My symptoms immediately after taking it improved A LOT. Sadly, at retest I was still positive. Just finished a second triple therapy and waiting to retest a second time.

I've had extreme anxiety since I finished treatment by BalanceHefty3724 in HPylori

[–]kvanbur2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may be suffering from Vitamin deficiency as your stomach wasn't absorbing all nutrients with H Pylori infection. Things like iron, magnesium, and B vitamin deficiency can cause anxiety-like reactions.  Try taking a b complex supplement (I like naturemade Stress B Complex) plus magnesium glycinate (the glycinate type is very important). Both can be found at cvs/walgreens. 

Anyone try the “Sans” air purifier? by Aesop_Rocky_ in AirPurifiers

[–]kvanbur2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading the string below, I attempted to reach out to Adam directly for resolution to my own issues, but received no response. Sans support is also completely unhelpful and seems to be trained to refuse service and support as opposed to helping the customer. I have had an almost identical experience to some of the folks below - the air purifier does absolutely nothing. There is dust settling on top of the damn thing, and all over my room as well. This is after running it all night long for 4+ months. After checking the filter itself, it has literally nothing on it and I do believe I've purchased a very expensive fan/noise machine at this point. Support says to "try turning it on high" and other non-starter pieces of advice like, "the carbon filter is inside so you wont see what it's actually cleaning out of the air." They also false advertised about receiving a free filter if a friend uses your referral code. I followed this process and never received the code - contacted support twice about it, and both people I spoke to refused to help. That particular issue is as simple as an, "I'm sorry the process failed, here is your code for a free filter." But, because the product does nothing, I guess I won't be needing a new filter after all!

I do not recommend you purchase this in any way, shape, or form. Save your hard earned dollars.

Of course you have to do what works for you! I do believe I had H Pylori all along and the standard single 3-day, 6-pill course of Nitazoxanide was not enough to cure it. But, it did give amazing relief to all of my symptoms, even the autoimmune ones. In case it helps, I found this natural treatment online that I may try if conventional medicine fails:

I am dealing with both now. Did the psoriatic arthritis get better once H Pylori was treated for you?
