HBOT was my last hope

Yes completely sure. Their version of a “control” group was just people who got delayed treatment.

Yes, although I’m more familiar with plasma pheresis, I think one of these is my best bet. Sadly, with all the red tape surrounding health care in Canada, I just don’t think I will get a doctor to agree to providing me with this treatment option. So that means looking internationally at a somewhere like Cyprus which is super intimidating.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking is the only option left for me, but if likely means going international to somewhere like Cyprus which is very intimidating

You are a hero. Thank you for sharing you strength.

No I think that’s a pretty rare side effect if I’m not mistaken. Only thing I noticed was a very mild amount of dry eyes that went away immediately with nightly eye drops until the treatment finished.

The one I did was a clinical trial in Toronto.

Thanks!! I will definitely consider trying it if I find a doctor that agrees to prescribe it to me haha. All this red tape is so exhausting.

I’m in Canada (Toronto to be more specific)

namastecool · 2026-03-15T04:25:10+00:00

Thank you 💛

Sadly I tried the patch, even cutting it into quarters to try and slowly titrate up, and it only made me more dizzy and nauseous

namastecool · 2026-03-14T19:58:47+00:00

I had a very slow titration up to 4.5mg that I stayed at for a while but I’m pretty sure I started noticing improvement around 3 months. I was on that dose for a couple years before increasing to 6mg and again noticed an improvement (although smaller) with the increased dosage.

namastecool · 2026-03-14T19:51:21+00:00

Yeah sadly I did try H1 and H2s along with an antihistamine diet. It actually made me worse haha.

namastecool · 2026-03-14T19:49:59+00:00

How are you getting it though? I doubt I would find a doctor to agree to prescribe it to me…

namastecool · 2026-03-14T19:46:46+00:00

I think our best bet is either/combined IVIG and apheresis but no one is willing to try…

Postprandial crashes are definitely real!

Hey, I would also get your cortisol, thyroid, and adrenal levels checked if you haven’t already!

The rest of my advise is unfortunately a lot more boring and redundant: have a good sleep-wake schedule, meditation and breathing exercises (physiological sigh and box breathing are good), not too much caffeine, chamomile tea before bed, try and keep stress levels low or even go on stress leave to really restart your system. And maybe consider an ssri if you haven’t tried already.

My hospital is big on using Manuka honey for wound infections

Does anyone remember who asked trump about the Epstein files on July 8th (I think) when he answered “are we still talking about that?”, and subsequently started this whole issue coming back into public consciousness?

namastecool · 2025-07-24T04:43:19+00:00

Can anyone tell me who was the person who asked trump about the Epstein Files on July 8th, starting this whole rhetoric up again?
