    Treatment with Disulfiram (Antabuse) seems to help

    Update after 5 weeks on Disulfiram : there seems to be something happening, but it could be either good or bad. I still have most of my symptoms, except I haven’t slept during the day for two weeks. (I do have side effects though and I’ve had to lower my dose). I also have been able to do...

    Treatment with Disulfiram (Antabuse) seems to help

    i don’t have the information on hand but I can ask next time I see my doctor (it will be after the holidays). The trial is for Lyme. I doubt that it’s the same one. I think mine is a small local study.

    Treatment with Disulfiram (Antabuse) seems to help

    I’ve tried LDN for about 5 months. I suspect it was making me lose my hair, so I stopped. I might decide to start it again in the future, as it was helping with fibro pain.

    Treatment with Disulfiram (Antabuse) seems to help

    My doctor says he’s having good results so far. He started using it on his patients about six months ago. I’m part of a research trial, I don’t know if it will be published. Because I have GAD, I have decided not to read anymore on the subject, for fear it will trigger so much anxiety that I...

    Treatment with Disulfiram (Antabuse) seems to help

    I’ve recently started a treatment with Disulfiram. My doctor thinks there is a possibility that I have Lyme and put me on antibiotics. After reading a lot about it, I’ve decided I didn’t want to go that route. Meanwhile, I learned about a new Lyme treatment with Disulfiram that was supposedly...

    Scales which measure disease severity

    I found no scale that takes care of all angles. I’m also often in-between categories. So for myself and others, when I educate about the illness, I have simplified it. I explain that mildly affected people are the ones who can work, even if all they do besides work is sleep, moderately...

    Anyone has a stair lift at home ? (Moving, part II)

    It’s working out really well. I don’t have balance problems, so I try to climb up the stairs as much as possible, to try and maintain a little muscle. But when I have trouble walking because of weakness, it’s really nice to have it to rely on.

    Anyone has a stair lift at home ? (Moving, part II)

    Mine is second hand. It was 500$ or 700$ cheaper, and they really did a good cleaning job and changed the parts that needed to be. You can’t tell I didn’t buy it new.

    Feeling of lacking air.?

    Yes, it really is ! . I do have acid reflux but I don’t think it’s related to it. I’d be really surprised if it was. No, it’s not something I feel in my lungs. It’s rather a feeling of doom, like I was trapped in a very small area, with very little ventilation. A sensation that my brain is...

    Feeling of lacking air.?

    For those who live in countries with harsh winters, do you find yourself being worse in winter? Fall is coming soon and when I can’t open the windows, I feel like I am lacking air and my general malaise increases. It’s a weird feeling, I can breathe fine (except when out of breath) but I sort...

    Tinnitus Poll : Making a distinction of subtypes

    There was no choice for it but I’ve had permanent tinnitus for more than 10 years. It never, ever goes away. When my symptoms increase, it gets worse : I get louder bass type sound in one or both ears. When it happens I sleep with a white noise machine on.

    Dr Byron Hyde - Canada

    Well, I know for a fact the College was after him for many, many years. About the complaint, his fee was 200$/hour. It’s no secret, it was on his website. That’s what he charged for his time. I’m not going to speculate what happened.

    Dr Byron Hyde - Canada

    I haven’t read all the comments and I’m not going to. I am very sad at the way Dr Hyde’s career is ending. He has helped many, many people get diagnosis and receive insurance benefits. Often without even charging them a dime. He went out of his way to help patients, even from other...

    Episodes of nearly fainting

    It’s a shame really. I found this interesting article. I would very much like to try the meds they are talking about. I seem to ft well with the ME patient they describe : https://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/27/us/study-ties-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-abnormality-control-blood-pressure.html
