Donna, I think the physical only counts as a physical if you are feeling fine. If you go in for the breast pain, it will be covered like a regular doctor's appt. ... you won't get a complete physical, just the exam for the reason you went in.

I had a gyno issue last year ... same thing, two months before my appt. Seems like it would have been cheaper and easier to do the full exam at the same time, but since when does insurance make sense?

Oh, good advice on the foundation color ... it is always better to error on the lighter side than the darker side. :) If you want more color, use blush or bronzer.

Thanks Carla! I think I'll go home today and check my journal to get my dates straight, then call and see what happens.

Donna,

My mom had the same problem last yr. She was so scared. She could not even put an bra on that it hurt way to bad. She has had lumps in her boobs for years before this due to drinking pop. But when she went to the dr, they couldnt find anything wrong with her breast. She did end up having other problems in the other female area but they were not connected to the sore boobs.

btw, I have had breast pain from Lyme, and it is one of the symptoms on the list of symptoms that my LLMD has us check over every time we go for an appt. So, it could be Lyme-related ... but it's always good to have something like that checked out.

Yeah Donna, I would have to agree that this is something you should have checked out, just to rule things out and put your mind at ease.

I know nothing about insurance and such, but I am hoping Carla's thoughts on going in for a normal appt. will work in this case.

I have always had lumpy cystic breast tissue, but I only get pain at ovulation and the pms part of the cycle.

Maybe it's hormone related and your hormones are shifting?

Maybe, but the pain is pretty constant. It's been every day for a couple of months now. I'm 52, so it could be hormonal, but wouldn't that be constant? Could also be some of the supplements I'm taking for the neurotransmitters I guess.

I've seen Evening Primrose Oil suggested on several sites for breast pain and was thinking of getting some just to see if it helps, but for some reason, Evening Primose Oil sticks out in my mind as something I might not want to take...wish I could remember why, lol.

I wish I knew, keep us posted about what you decide to do.

I took EPO years back, and I remember hearing something about it too that was a good reason not to take it...can't recall what it was either :lol:

T was on EPO until we ran out of it.

Maybe it was the liver congestion I was thinking of.

Yeah, maybe that's what I was thinking too...or maybe it was because had some surgery...I don't know, lol. I don't remember really ever checking into it before, so it was something that said don't take this if... :lol:

I used to take Primrose Oil ... now I'm taking fish oils from my LLMD. It could be of benefit to you. I gave it to both Morgan and Chloe as they were going through puberty ... I know Morgan really noticed a difference in her hormonal swings (read "mood swings", LOL).

Yeah, my LLMD wants me to take EFAs in the worst ways, but I haven't found any that I don't react to...may as well try this too, lol.

Does anyone have shortness of breath and really a fast heart rate? I feel like I can't breath properly...it almost feels like when I had asthma and I was having an attack. It's not air hunger I don't think, unless air hunger can last for days and days.

rachel,

I was reading what u said about ttg could be other things then celiac, is that only for the stool test or is that for blood work also. If its for blood work to, is that an reason why mine is still high in blood? All of the my other numbers are normal in the celiac panel but the ttg. If so that would make so much more sense to me then trying to fgure out why that is still high. My nd did say my candida is off the charts.

sounds like air hunger .... it's from the babs .... both the heart symptom and the breathing symptom. I HATED that.

Is it time for a herx? That was always one of my first symptoms a herx was coming on. If not, it could be the full moon .... babesia is a parasite, which is affected by the full moon.

confused: i don't see how it could be anything other than the candida, that would make sense to me, especially since it's so high...see if it lowers when that's healed up a bit

I'm taking cod liver oil and I can't say enough about it either.

Cod liver oil and charcoal, who would of thought :lol:

Yeah, I've been wondering if cod liver oil would work. I'm afraid to buy it. I've tried fish oil capsules and I react to those. I react to flax of all kinds, um, seems like I tried one other kind of EFA, can't remember though. Oh hemp...reacted to that too.

Donna, I take Arctic Oils brand Omega Pure. They are mercury-free fish oil EFA's. Maybe they would test okay for you.

It may be time for a herx. I don't really know. I haven't herxed badly at all since I started the Mepron. It may take a while. I hate the heart/breathing stuff! Ugh, I feel like I'm dying, lol. <_<

Kassandra, you might count back how many days ago you started the Mepron ... it might give you an idea what kind of herx schedule to expect. :)

It's actually a physical reaction. I bought some mercury-free...tried a couple of different kinds too...one I got from my doctor, one from Whole Foods. But, I haven't tried cod liver oil yet--I can eat cod without reacting, so it's possible. I can't eat flax in any form, nor hemp apparently.

Do you think its because Evening Primrose Oil is high in plant estrogens?

Also, you might consider the new thermography. It is less invasive, less painful and doesn't put radiatio in the body. Plus it shows more abnormalities earlier.

Oh, thanks, I'll ask about this.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Although the gluten challenge guidelines suggest at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten daily, I would go for 4 weeks to make sure - if you can tolerate it, that is. When you go in for the blood draw, make sure to ask your physician to order not only the tTG-IGA test but the total IGA test. The tTG-IGA test result cannot be trusted if you are IGA deficient. The total IGA test checks for IGA deficiency. Many physicians will order only the tTG-IGA. So, at the minimum, the doc should order the tTG-IGA and the total IGA. There are other celiac antibody tests that can also be ordered for a more comprehensive panel, especially in the case of IGA deficiency.  Here is an overview of celiac disease antibody testing:

      She carries one of the two primary genes that indicate the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. So, the gene test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used as a rule out measure. Having either one of the genes provides the potential for developing celiac disease with the HLADQ2, in my understanding, providing the strongest potential of the two while having both genes provides an even stronger potential. What meds did the physician put her on for the ulcers?

      Thanks, @trents. That was what I was thinking of as well, but I'm a huge worrier and keep doubting if it was right thing to do so it seemed better to ask more experienced people. My diet won't be 100% gluten free unfortunately, but I'm thinking of using it as an opportunity to keep a food log and try to see what makes things worse.

      Her Dr gave her meds for the ulcers and recommend the genetic blood test to rule out celiac. Got those results and the hla-dq2 is positive the hla-dq8 is negative. So I’m not sure what this all means. Waiting to hear from the Dr again. She has been eating gluten and did say she got bad stomach pain again the other day but it hasn’t happened in a few weeks so I’m not sure if it’s from gluten or the ulcers.

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.
