Hello friends,

I had a thought today as I was about to do something I used to love and realised that it did not interest me anymore.

I am not talking about depression, I definitely know how that feels. This is different. It is not a bad thing. I have a feeling my life will change a lot as soon as I am feeling up to it. 

It is like I was planted as a tulip, but came up as broccoli 4 or 5 months ago (my diagnosis). Although I love broccoli, it is quite an adjustment. I can't seem to figure out what I love anymore. Most of my life had to do with spontaneity, laughter and food/beer/art/music/film. Now I realise that I am very tired and am unsure if I want to continue doing things I used to love because it feels like it is out of habit. The only way to figure it out is to try I suppose. I have discovered new things I love, like sprouting, making kefir, planting plants etc. Travelling was a favorite activity and now it just stresses me out to think about preparing even further in advance. I have only been back at work for 3 weeks after a 2 month sick leave. I still have trouble walking and have nerve issues, so now its work, physio, cooking and I have very little time for other things. I have an appointment with a specialist Dr who also is a micro nutritionist soon. I really hope he's good. I might have deficiencies that were missed.

Anyone out there feeling a similar way?

I think everyone goes through periods in their life where their interests change.  Some are impacted by a move, the birth of a child, a new job or an illness.  

Since you are just newly diagnosed, cut yourself some slack.  This is the time to take care of yourself.  Once healed, you may go back to your other activities or you might not.  But that is okay.

Thank you for this response. It is very kind and you are right. I don’t need to decide everything right away. In fact I just need to feel better and the rest will come.

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
