[Guest guest]

BTW- I have low blood pressure normally. about 90/60.

When I take anti allergy meds my blood pressure drops even more.

LDN is totally helping me fight my yeast issues too!

I developed crazy skin issues with that and was told by a derm that I got poison

ivy. Which is just insane. LOL.
