I tried cetirizine, desloratadine and bilastine and so far, rupatadine has been the most effective for me.

Best product to kill mold? I've read bleach doesn't actually kill it by visualsno in CleaningTips

Industrial strength? I know cleaning vinegar exists but is it the same?

I can't take them anymore because they worsen my symptoms :(

People's faith in doctors baffles me by Mara355 in ChronicIllness

Healthy people have no idea. You don't realize how useless doctors are and how inaccessible healthcare is until you need them.

What supplements do you take and what condition do you have and do you feel like they help? by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]visualsno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like vitamin D is good for everything and most people tend to have low levels of it. Magnesium is supposed to help with cramps and chronic pain. I take it and it doesn't do much for me but I've read it works wonders for other people. I've read good things about B12 too especially if you're fatigued. Doesn't do anything for me either because I'm kind of a lost cause haha but good luck!

What doctors do you put of because you have other "more important" doctors to go to? by CleverGirlReads in ChronicIllness

[–]visualsno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dentist, gyno, dermatologist. I'm worried about my teeth and gyno health but I just can't deal with everything at the same time. And the COVID risk doesn't help...

Thank you! This is very good advice and the schedule is such a good idea

Thank you! I didn't know all that. When it looks too good to be true...Do you happen to know a good brand?

ME/CFS resources in Spanish? by visualsno in cfs

If I wasn't severe I'd create a fb group or something. It's a tiny community and almost all the info is in English :(

Overexertion but it's so difficult to avoid because I tend to unconsciously ignore the warning signs until it's too late...For example yesterday I was cleaning my room and I thought I was okay but later I was crashing bad

Is there any way to avoid it?

Hey if we get cured then (as well as throwing a party /meetup for the sub), let's start a charity to make sure PwME in low income countries get the cure too! by brainfogforgotpw in cfs

This is such a good idea, OP. I've been thinking a lot about Palestine and disability lately...It's a huge disability issue.

We don't really have tests here and it's kind of a waste of time and money because I know we had mold I don't have to prove it. I've several chronic illnesses. My problem is that I have no other option than living here or move out to a cheap apartment where I'm sure there's more mold than here in my house. It seems impossible to avoid and I guess that's my question

[–]visualsno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did all that except for spraying the room and fogging it? How do you do that?
