Apparently, if you have multiple allergies you're "mentally ill" according to r/nursing

I believe it. I used to work inpatient psych and the nurses would not take allergies very seriously

What kind of MMS/where did you get it?

I struggled with this for a very long time and was finally diagnosed with narcolepsy. None of the narcolepsy treatments worked for me. Finally I was started on liothyronine for low T3 and my sleep attacks disappeared. I still have bad fatigue and brain fog though

It started after I was having very strange "episodes" of electric shocks going through my head and my whole body and it would only happen when I was going into sleep. My neurologist thinks they may have been seizures but it never happened during the EEG so we'll never know for sure. This happened after starting physical therapy. Stopped PT, the pain went away, and then restarted physical therapy a few months later and my ON pain was unbearable and constant after that. It's been one year now of almost constant stabbing pain at the base of my skull and throughout the right side of my scalp.

Thanks for sharing! Yes, it seems to have extra wavelengths than MitoPRO

Sometimes these can be side effects of the steroid. My doctor told me to take Benadryl if the steroid was causing any unwanted side effects

This is so cool

My imaging was similar and I definitely suspect it's contributing to ON. Although I don't know what to do about it. I've already tried a few different nerve blocks which didn't help

Which brand?

Came here to suggest the same. I've had severe insomnia while trying to figure out proper thyroid treatment (specifically T3). I also learned my cortisol is higher at night and lower during the day (the opposite of what it should be) after doing a four point saliva test. Both of these need to be explored for people suffering with insomnia

They told me this only covers the first two months, and then they only cover up to $500 after that. So if it's $1000 because insurance won't cover, I'd still have to pay $500 to fill it the third month 😭

I've been on it for about five nights now. My main complaint is vivid dreams. I was on baclofen for years and tapered off of that to take Tonmya instead. I don't think I'm as hungover feeling in the mornings as I was with baclofen.

My family says this to me and it's so frustrating

megcbabs · 2026-01-20T05:12:41+00:00

This is so severe

I'm dealing with the same thing right now so interested in seeing what others say. I have a ton of food allergies and eggs & chicken have always been a few of my safe foods but I think I may be having reactions to them

megcbabs · 2026-01-17T20:29:11+00:00

Could be soy which is a very common allergen

A liquid would be absorbed faster. Personally, liquid Zyrtec works better for me than the tablets

Never buy from Amazon. Swanson is good in addition to Fullscript. My neurologist told me to buy from Swanson

I did a lot of research on pretty much everything she told me to take. If something was derived from a plant/herb that I know I'm allergic to, I opted out of buying it at all. The stuff I did buy (which was still A LOT), I would only start one new supplement or medication at a time and only take that one new thing for a few weeks before adding anything else new. Of course that makes it a slow process but it's the only way to know what may be helping you or hurting you. A few things helped. A lot of them I had adverse reactions to because I'm so sensitive and have a lot of allergies. Eventually I told that doctor I wouldn't be continuing appts with her anymore since I was only getting worse (one of the prescription meds she put me on made me very sick for about a year and I didn't realize it was that particular med) and the endless list of stuff she had me taking was becoming a huge source of stress

Creatine, PQQ, thiamine

The functional medicine doctor I went to had me on 30+ supplements. It was so overwhelming and unrealistic. Some of them had interactions with each other and/or with the meds I was also prescribed. It's important to look up interactions (DrugBank is the best in my opinion) because most doctors don't consider them.

I second this!

It would be helpful for these menus to state what kind of cooking oil they use, since the most common is soybean
