If you live in the US, the kit and postage was free both ways. If you live outside of the US, then you had to pay $19.99 (US $) to uBiome for them to mail the kit to you, and you pay the postage your end to return the sample vials back to uBiome in California.

If you live outside of the US of A then you have to pay to ship the test kit back to CA. If you live in the US then the postage is pre-paid. To activate your kit, go to https://ubiome.com/ and scroll down to "Already have a kit? Create an account and register your kit." Once you've activated...

I read recently that surgical patients who didn't use opioids were less likely to end up back in the hospital with complications.

I get a burning muscle pain, but only when I am physically moving. For example; drying off after a shower, walking up stairs, combing my hair, sorting paperwork, etc. However, once I stop what I am doing, the pain goes away within a few seconds.

That sounds good! I'm really hoping for some improvement when I finally get started.

My Bactoferm F-RM-52 is lost somewhere between Montreal and Vancouver. The company is out of stock right now so I'll have to wait a few weeks before I get my replacement shipment. :emoji_disappointed_relieved: At least now I can do my uBiome Sniffle-ome test before starting the l. sakei which...

I hadn't thought about it. I'm going to wait until my sinuses are bad, headache is bad, and malaise is bad. I want to know what is happening when my chronic sinusitis is acting up. I imagine it will be in the next week.

Ken Lassesen (CFS Remission) claims that most people with ME/CFS are low in E. coli and recommends supplementing with Mutaflor.

I think his heart is in the right place; he wants people to take better care of themselves. But I do agree with you that he has a lot of pseudoscience on his show and he is forever contradicting himself with what is good for you/bad for you.

It was Dr Oz who claimed that ME was treatable.

The one concern I had with today's Dr Oz show was it left people with the impression that there was a treatment for all of us with CFS which just isn't true.

One of my previous jackass doctors put me on Ritalin and I barely slept for a week. I was so hyper and couldn't relax at all. Plus my stomach hurt so much I couldn't stand having tight clothing touching me. Never again!

Our condition is defined by fatigue.

Definitely. It will be interesting to compare our results with each other.

Just placed my order; it's my Christmas present to myself. This is something I've been thinking of doing for quite some time. :thumbup:
