Any Suggestions?

Cherie, With fungal issues, things start subsiding pretty quickly once you hit the target. . . It sounds like you should start getting better now that you've found the target - and the right bullets! The key to success is to stay at it until you get there.. . It's hard to do because we long to feel better - not do something that appears to make us feel worse, even if it's temporary. Hugs, Rogene

Thanks Rogene!

I'm hanging in there! It's funny how you begin to think your not

doing the right thing but in reality....you are! I know that since I

took 4 Pearls this morning, that was too much. I will just have to

itch a bit and only take a couple. Do it slowly....

Hi Cherie,

I'm one of those people who can't detox. I'm not sure if the reason

why you itch is because the toxins are trying to come out through

your pores, or because you've still got the implants in your body,

or if you are like me where detoxing causes additional problems. I

have multiple chemical sensitivity and thanks to Lynn I discovered

that I become sensitive to foods or supplements because my body

recognizes them as an invader and goes into fight mode. I can

stagger foods and some supplements by taking them a few days a week

instead of every day and that doesn't seem to be a problem, but I

don't think I get the same benefits of those who can take certain

foods and supplements on a daily basis.

Hi Sis

Yes, I have definitley have discovered I cannot detox, it has ruined

me! I was told though it was very important to start trying to detox

before explant. Maybe that should be advised very carefully. The

thought of itching for the next 19 days is not settling well with me.

I cry everyday now......it sucks! I had not realized how good I was

actually doing until now.

Cherie,

I am so sorry you are having such a tough time with detox. I didn't detox too much before explant - pretty much just changed my diet.

Sounds like the liver detox was rough - I haven't tried that yet. I am a little scared of the herxing as well.

Please drink lot of water to flush your body. I am sorry I don't have more advice - I am by no means an expert on the detox.

Hugs and prayers, Lynn

Cherie,

Epsom salts baths don't bother me and that's a gentler way of

detoxing. A healthy diet is crucial, too. While I haven't switched

to 100% organic, I do use organic milk and I pick up organics when I

can. Also, I stay away from household cleaning products because

they make me sick, even two years after explant. I'm sorry your

experiencing this terrible itching - I think it will ease up in time

but it's got to be awful.

Cherie,

I would suggest seeing an allergist. They might be able to give you

something to calm your system and stop the itch.

I'm sorry you are miserable. I know what this is like since I have

had reactions like this to different things.

Is there anything else that could be continuing to set this off? I

suddenly became allergic to pool chemicals and then later to all

fingernail products... when I still had my implants.

Chemical sensitivities are not uncommon for many of us.

Cherie,

I would see a naturopath. Less toxins to put into your system would be best.

Cherie,

Have you went to an allergist yet?

If the detoxing caused this, I would think it would have passed by now since you stopped detoxing. I was nervous before surgery too but it turned out great. Dr. Huang took good care of me. You'll go to sleep and wake up so fast you won't even know you had surgery.

I am so sorry you are dealing with the itching. Do you have a rash too? Do you itch everywhere? If it were me, I would go to the doctor.

Hugs and prayers, Lynn

Any suggestions?

Hi ladies,I am still in the vicious circle of itching and horrible sinus pain. I am in need of some help or suggestions. I am discovering that the Prontix was not the problem, no matter what I take.....I itch. I take a pain pill for my sinus's, vitamins, eat and even drink water, I itch. I still have swollen turinates in my nose since I tried to detox, the anti-fungal cream has not helped. The swolleness has not gone down at all. All I do know is that while I was on the diet and taking caprylic acid (one month ago), I began to itch (not as bad as now and figured it was part of detoxing) and the inside of my nose swelled up. My nose swelling up really concerned me so I stopped. I stopped taking caprylic acid, I thought maybe that was causing this....but even after a month of not taking it....no relief what so ever. I am worried about what the anesthesia is going to do to me on the

13th....beginning to worry about having surgery. I am trying some hyrocortizone for my turbinates since the anti-fungal cream and neosporim didn't work. I am just trying everything right now out of total frustration. I am trying to just leave this all to God and been praying for a long time now for relief, a direction, a breakthrough. ...but I am only at a loss. It is sooo difficult to do this when your itching all the ime. I thought detoxing would help me but it has just messed me all up. Detoxing is something that I am very fearful at this point. It's funny how you think your helping yourself and doing the right thing.....only to discover that you've screwed everything up. I am in hopes that surgery will actually make a difference.Thanks for listening to me...Cherie

Hi Lynn,

No, I do not a have any rashes and I itch all over. Going to my

currect doctor is a waste of time. He is useless!! I am changing my

primary care but it isn't effective until Dec. 1st. I have an HMO

that requires a referral and since I leave for Denver in a week, I

won't be able to get into see an allergist before that. I saw a

allergist a few years back and he was usuless also. He put me on

allergy shots that caused me to break into rash patches all over my

body. All he could tell me was that I was allergic to everything he

tested me for. I'm do not have trust in doctors right now. I will

wait and see how I do after surgery and then go from there. I went

to my doctors office about 3 weeks ago about my nose and saw the

nurse practitioner and all she told me was to put neosporm on it. See

what I mean?

I do see Cherie. I have had the same experiences with my doctors!! My faith has faultered with medical care!! I don't even mention my implants anymore now that they are gone because if i do it confuses the hell out of the doctor - messes the whole visit up. I hope you can find a natural doctor when you get explanted, I think they will be able to offer better help.

You are in my prayers!! I do hope that this itching goes away with the awful implants.

Hugs, Lynn

Thanks Patty,

Ya know, I tried a liver detox a couple of weeks ago and OMG, I

itched even worse! I'm a bit leary of trying anything with regards

to my liver. I am in hopes that the explant will help.

Yes Rogene....I'm wild alright! I have never been normal. When I

was a teenager in the " 80 " s, I would itch horrbly after I took a

shower. My doctor at the time finally figured out that it was my

birth control pills. He had never heard of anyone allergic to

them.....but I was! I am one to have unusal things happen to them, I

think that's why my mother is not too surprised over my implant

illness. If it's bizarre, she know's I'll get it.

Hugs to you!

Sorry , if everyone covered this, I'm catching up on email, but I don't

think the biologics are metabolized in the liver b/c they're not ingested. I

could be wrong, though. Anyone else know the skinny?

[ ] any suggestions?

I have liver disease and can not take the miracle drugs.

I was on plaquenal for 18 months and developed severe rashes and

itching.

I went on sulfasalazene and needed to stop it today. Developed intense

skin rashes and itching .

I am allergic to all narcotics, same symptoms.

Must I allow this disease to progress or is there something else to try?

My Doctor is wonderful but fears my reactions to drugs.

I have been told that drugs that alter the immune system can allow the hepatitis

to run amuck. There is a rebound issue and the liver disease increases.

The hepatitis is from my mother and world war 2 (believe it or not). My body

has developed immunities. They fear I will die from liver disease if I use

humira or the others. I have latent hepatitis A and B.

Two Doctors have told me they would rather see me 90 and alive in a wheel

chair than deceased.

I just wondered if anyone else has serious liver problems and if they found

solutions.

The RA issues are becoming very,very challenging.

To date after a year or so I become quite allergic to every drug I take.

Therefore Dr's claim I am most likely to experience the most side effects.

thank You

Sorry , if everyone covered this, I'm catching up on email,

but I don't think the biologics are metabolized in the liver b/c they're not

ingested. I could be wrong, though. Anyone else know the skinny?

[ ] any suggestions?

I have liver disease and can not take the miracle drugs.

I was on plaquenal for 18 months and developed severe rashes and

itching.

I went on sulfasalazene and needed to stop it today. Developed intense

skin rashes and itching .

I am allergic to all narcotics, same symptoms.

Must I allow this disease to progress or is there something else to try?

My Doctor is wonderful but fears my reactions to drugs.

If you apply for disability go to _www.allsup.com_ (http://www.allsup.com)

they are great to deal with and I don't think they are as expensive as an

attorney. Check it out.

I know the frustration. I was a teacher and now suffer with the MCS. I

can't even stand next to someone in a store with perfume on. Had a service tech

here a few weeks ago to check our dishwasher by the time he left I was very

sick. The smell of tobacco on his clothes left me sick through the following

day. Next yr. I'll be sure request a nonsmoker to service my appliances. I know

I couldn't work anywhere but from home. Even it I tutored from home people

bring different odors with them. My own brother walks in the house with his

clothes drenched with Tide which give me a HORRIBLE headache. I would be

wonderful if the world was fragrance free. I've even heard of some high schools

and

workplaces that forbid fragrances.

Hi,

My name is le and I've been dealing with toxic mold since my

landlord neglected to fix the roof. Lately, it's just gotten really

overwhelming. I am seeing a doctor that I hope may be able to help

and the whole legal thing with the lawyer isn't easy either. In any

case, I have moved to the drier climate of Los Angeles and am trying

to get my life back together. I went through a lot of effort to find

work and currently teach dance and work at a coffee shop. I am

currently looking for more teaching and/or writing jobs, but it

hasn't been easy to find something right away. I would really like to

quit my coffee shop job. I like the people, but the

place.....chemicalsplace.....chemicals<WBR>, dust, mold or whatever

very ill. I can't be in a place where the door isn't open or in a

place with carpet....and even then, I can still get sick. I am so

sensitive and I don't know what to do. I am so frustrated. I just

don't want to go to work to be sick anymore. I have been trying to

look for work options, but I feel ill a lot. I'm also trying to

figure out what options I might have since I am so limited. Dancing

has helped me so much through this, but I've been so frustrated and

impatient to get out of my current situation. A friend of mine

suggested applying for disability, so I'm thinking about that option.

What does everyone else do for work out of curiousity? Any

suggestions? Thanks and best wishes to you all:)
