Need Suggestions for Specific Symptom Relief

Hi all,

I wanted to expand on an earlier post of mine /www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=4038647 to see if I can get some suggestions for symptom relief in 4 major areas. So without further delay, here we go...

1) Vascular Issues: This is my number one issue. Last October I started to have a pronounced right temporal artery. It also began to hurt as well and the pain spread to most of my right side of the head and some on the left as well. Then in May the headaches went away (although the dilated temporal artery did not abate), but they were quickly followed by large blood vessels in my feet, hands and arms becoming quite dilated and painful. Heat of any kind exacerbates all of this, including the heat from EMF radiation including WIFI. On the flip side when I'm cold I don't have this issue. Also, I've been losing weight and it seems related to this “internal heat” I'm experiencing which is manifesting itself through my blood vessels. If someone can help me with this one, I'll buy them a puppy.

2) Sinus/Ear Issues: My frontal sinuses swell up often and are painful. Sometimes they are accompanied by brain fog. Also my ears often feel very stuffy. My other sinuses (maxillary and sphenoid) look discolored when one looks at my face and occasionally give me pain. I'm often very stuffy.

3) Gut Issues: These include left and right flank pain which seems to come from my large intestine and also when I'm exposed to EMF/WIFI my gut feels warm and tends to ache.

4) Nerve Issues: I've had these previously and they went away, but they are rearing their ugly heads again including arm twitching and eyebrow numbness

For fun, here's what I'm taking currently:

B6 – 100mg (B6 levels are low)
Kudzu – 1500mg up to 3x daily (for nerves and brain fog)
Blood Builder (contains Vitamin C, Folate, B12 and Iron) – 1 tablet 2x daily (am slightly anemic)
CoQ10 – 200mg 2x daily (heart health)
DHEA -50mg – x 1 daily (testosterone is low)
Astragalus – 1000mg x 2 daily (VEGF is low)
Milk Thistle – 1000mg x 2 daily (Liver support)
Cod Liver Oil- 1000mg x2 daily (Heart and overall health support)
Rutin Complex (contains Rutin, Calcium, Lemon, Orange and Grapefruit bioflavinoids, Hesperidin) 500 mg – 2x (blood vessel support)
Betaine HCI/Pepsin/Gentian Root Extract – 2 capsules 1 x daily (help digest protein)
Baikal Skullcap tincture – 1 dropperful 2-3x daily
Red Sage tincture- 1 dropperful 2-3x daily (lymph support)
Bidens, Sida, Alchornea tinctures - 1 dropperful 2-3x daily
Ashwagandha – 1200mg – 1x daily (adrenal issues – wake up at 3am)
NAC – 1500mg – 2x daily
Glutamine powder – 1 scoop daily
Whole Fiber Fusion – 1-2 scoops daily
Argentyn 23 - several sprays in nostrils daily
Glutathione shots (10cc) – twice a week
Phosphatidyl Choline – 3 capsules 2x day
Phosphatidyl Serine – 2 capsules 1x daily
Ear and Nasal Ozone – twice a week
Welchol – 1 capsule – 2x a day (binder)
Alinia – 1 capsule – 2x a day
Losartan – 25mg – 2x a day (blood pressure spikes around EMF/WIFI plus Losartan lowers TGF-B)

I've stopped taking Japanese Knotweed, Cryptolepis, Turmeric and Hawthorn as they seem to “heat me up” and didn't seem to be doing much.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

MM

Have you seen a Rheumatologist for the vascular issues? Temporal headaches can be a symptom of "temporal arteritis".

McSpike - yeah, I feel like I'm running in place. I've been working pretty hard, but I can't crack this latest nut so to speak. I'll look into that protocol you mention. Sounds interesting.

Clam Digger - yeah as Girlie said I went down the temporal arteritis path and am convinced I don't have it. Thanks for your suggestion though!

I don't know. You could maybe try garlic or oregano oil (if you want to add in more anti-bacterials), but it might be too much with all of the rest of the things you are taking.

I see your're taking fiber. Too much fiber could cause gut problems, I think.

For me, I get that kind of thing with my veins when I take too many vitamins, especially b vitamins. I think also sweet annie and artminisin helped get rid of it.

Mister Mike,

1-3 (weight loss, sinus, gut) honestly sound related to CIRS/mold to me. Have you confirmed that you are out of exposure?

I have big veins, especially the backs of my hands, but I've never had pain from it.

You are taking a number of things that affect blood or blood pressure or cholesterol. Have you reported the headaches, swollen veins, and pain from it to your doctor? Has your blood been checked since this started? I know there are blood tests that check coagulation that are not part of standard bloodwork. I forgot what it's called. Not sure what kind of test checks blood flow.

Does your doctor know everything you're taking and understand how they affect blood and blood vessel dilation?

Thanks all! Healing98 and mcspike - I think you nailed it with the magnesium. I've been letting some supplements drop lately and magnesium was stupidly one of them. I just bought some of it today after reading this along with zinc picollate and Lion's Mane.

Healling98 - not to be dense but what is a Endo Deficiency?

Walking By Faith - thanks, why do you correlate weight loss with CIRS? And, nope recently re-exposed which is definitely making things worse. And, yes my doc is aware of the pain, blood vessels, etc...I think I had that DIC Comprehensive Test (thanks mcspike!) done but will double-check.

NoTime4Lyme- thanks. The fiber has actually been a life saver and has helped my gut a lot. Good call on the oregano and garlic - I was on both with a previous doc but let them slide to save $$. Might be good to try those again.

Hi Mister Mike, Endo (Endocrinology) deficiency is what I call whenever a part of the endocrine system is abnormally low/high or not working optimally. An example is low/high T3, T4 etc.

Lyme has an affinity to attack the Endo system early on and if not treated properly, it can inhibit remission of the illness. It seems like those who treat an Endo abnormality seem to heal faster. And I think this is because the Endo system controls our hormones and part of our immune system.

I for one suffer from adrenal fatigue, part of the endo system, and every time I panic or stress, my illness comes back strong.

Acupuncture for everything. This is why I started - I was adding pills and pills and pills and not getting any relief. Acupuncture can handle it all, over time.

Healing98/Mcspike - how much Magnesium do you suggest taking?
