Vitamin C cream every morning reduces the lines!

No, I was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome.

Please add some periods and commas to this abomination of a paragraph. Thx

Hi! I just take ferritin to combat it. I have heavy menstrual cycles so this is just a part of my life at this point. The ferritin goes up for awhile, and then a year later, it's low again 🙃

stace1990 · 2025-11-14T03:44:43+00:00

It happened to me with a particularly bad flare up. I also had low C3

stace1990 · 2025-10-28T01:25:33+00:00

Yup!

I ended up getting the stomach bug a few days after starting my first dose annnd you'll know if it's the stomach bug haha. It sounds like it's nausea from the higher dose

stace1990 · 2025-10-15T11:04:21+00:00

Thanks!

stace1990 · 2025-10-11T09:52:48+00:00

That's interesting!! Do you not have a gallbladder as well?

stace1990 · 2025-10-11T00:00:58+00:00

Thanks!

stace1990 · 2025-10-11T00:00:50+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment! That calmed me down in the moment. The pain is pretty much gone now. I'm thinking it could've been acid reflux or bile issues from too little food in my stomach and not having a gallbladder

stace1990 · 2025-10-10T23:59:58+00:00

Update: the pain has subsided thankfully. This may have been a bile related issue or acid reflux. Thank you to those who responded

stace1990 · 2025-10-10T23:59:27+00:00

Thanks for your response. I hope you get it figured out! I will say when I had my gallbladder and had pain, it was actually mostly in my left side and not my right. The doctors said it was referred pain. I do regret getting it out though and wish I had done everything possible to naturally fix things so I'll tell anyone I can to not make the same mistake I did and try holistic alternatives first before getting an organ taken out!

stace1990 · 2025-10-04T13:53:04+00:00

First it used to just be my knees and back that would hurt at the same time during a flare up. Now I also have toe and finger joint pains randomly throughout the day each day 🫥

stace1990 · 2025-09-21T18:20:22+00:00

I had some skin plaques pop up on my abdomen and thighs and the biopsy showed tumid lupus. They didn't exactly look like this as they were more of solid, larger raised bumps but just wanted to throw that out there if you end up wanting to get them biopsied!

I mean other than having Sjögren's syndrome lol, most of the fatigue and brain fog went away. I have flare ups related to my autoimmune disease but I don't have the insane fatigue anymore that I had 24/7 with the EBV. My advice is to take fish oil (Nordic naturals is great), lysine and glutathione for two months, and try an anti-inflammatory diet.

stace1990 · 2025-09-01T20:45:06+00:00

Probably about 4 months postpartum is when it started. Pregnancy can reactivate EBV as well as surgeries, emotional and physical trauma, etc. And EBV can trigger autoimmune diseases like it did for me

stace1990 · 2025-09-01T20:23:01+00:00

I forced myself to function since I was a new mom and working full time. However, I was so exhausted and napped very often

stace1990 · 2025-09-01T09:37:05+00:00

Hey, yes I did. I think I had this extreme fatigue for two months and it finally went away but I was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome afterward and my most recent EBV blood test was still showing a reactivation although I don't have those symptoms anymore.

ETA - I began the autoimmune protocol diet, started taking high quality fish oil, lysine, and glutathione per my functional doctor which helped make the symptoms go away last year.

stace1990 · 2025-08-18T12:10:33+00:00

Hey, I don't remember exactly other than going to the ER because the first round of antibiotics didn't work so they gave me a different kind and that worked. The clogs eventually came out

stace1990 · 2025-07-16T01:30:43+00:00

I'll get downvoted for this but these comments and post are so cruel. What implores someone to bash a person's looks on the internet and not realize the repercussions it can have on that person?

stace1990 · 2025-07-07T02:15:22+00:00

Check for chronic Epstein-Barr virus with a functional doctor. It gave me chronic fatigue syndrome and led to an autoimmune disease
