Three new supplements added to my daily routine today! My dietitian appointment was today. . She pulled me off the LEAP diet, because it hasn't done anything for me 😞 I so wanted the diet to help, but I'm glad I don't have to be as strict! I can choose to do what I want with the test info, and I'll probably try to avoid corn (red food) as much as possible from now on. . She also wants me to stay gluten free as much as possible. There is enough research that shows gluten and autoimmune don't play well together, that she thinks it'll really help in the long run. I don't have to be extremely strict about it, so if we're out to eat I can get gluten grains if the GF option is full of corn, but the less gluten the better it'll be. She said it could take a few years before I see any noticeable results, probably. . She added these three supplements today: Vitamin D3 (the K2 allows absorption of more of the D3), Omega-3 (fish oil), and SAMe. All three are supposed to really help my fibro. I'm also taking Visbiome (probiotic) and magnesium glycinate, and I'm starting a multivitamin as soon as it arrives (it's being shipped). She also wants Dan on D3 😂 so that made me giggle 😂 I hope these will help and won't upset my belly! . I'm also supposed to follow a lower histamine diet now, because I have a lot of histamine problems. Hopefully, these things will all help me feel better without being as stressful! ... ... #dietitian #ComplexAllergies #EosinophilicEsophagitis #Eosinophilia #MastCell #histamine #LowHistamine #MedicalDiet #GlutenFree #GF #supplements #NaturalHealth #fibromyalgia #spoonie #InvisibleIllness #ChronicIllness #ChronicConditions

High #fatigue day. Really high! -Weekend was a lot of errands. -Monday, I had a doc appt (specialist immunologist) that lasted about 2 hours. Then I ran 2 errands. -Tuesday, we finished measuring for the adjustments my #SilverRingSplints need. I have 1 of 10 at home, all the others need modifications. Then I ran 2 more errands. -Today, I woke up at 5:45am for an important appointment (I can't talk about it yet) that lasted 4 hours. I'm now waiting for physical therapy, which I have to leave for in an hour. -Tomorrow, I have another early morning, three hour appt. Then, I have an appointment with my GI in the afternoon. . Thankfully, I can sleep all Friday! And I'm glad I have #wintergreen #EssentialOil to help with the tension in my neck! .. I'm likely going to be starting with #doTERRA soon, and am trying to guage interest. Send me a message if you'd be interested in talking after I start! ... ... #ChronicFatigue #Allergies #ComplexAllergies #JointHypermobilitySyndrome #JHS #HandPain #ChronicPain #HandTherapy #IrritableBowelSyndrome #IBS #IBSC #Gastroenterology #TooMuchToDo #Spoonie #SpoonieLife

Today is a rough day, and the rest of this week isn't looking promising either. So here are some happy and bright socks to look at while I fill you in! . This weekend we had to run a bunch of errands: 4 grocery stores Saturday, 2 shopping stores Sunday. I was trying very hard not to strain my neck/back, but it didn't work. . Today, I had an appointment with the specialist allergist (there is a post on my blog about the initial meeting, search "specialist allergist" in the search bar) today. He wants me to get a follow-up EGD (endoscopy) to check my #EoE and he wants my gastroenterologist to use the longer scope to check for eosinophilic enteritis. My last EGD had a very high concentration of eosinophils, so he wants to be sure it's actually calming down. I see my GI Friday and will be able to request it then. He did say even though "you don't have MCAS" he is treating me exactly how he'd treat a patient with MCAS. He prescribed me yet another nightly antihistamine. Hopefully, this will resolve some of the itchy spells. . The ultrasound of my kidneys came back, and I don't have renal artery stenosis. While that may sound good, it's quite upsetting. RAS is quite treatable, and would have explained my random/severe dizzy spells and uncontrollable diastolic hypertension. But, it's just back to #dysautonomia now. . I have 5 more appts this week, and I'm already exhausted. My headache is back too, well, trying to be. My back is killing me. I have errands to run, and I am in a lot of pain from my #fibro (the weather is shifting and my fibro has been uncontrolled for a few weeks now). I just need to pause time for a week so I can rest and let my body heal! . Sorry I haven't been more active on here, I just don't like posting these negative updates, but I haven't really had anything good to report. . Hope you all have a lovely day, and a bright pair of socks (or your equiv) to cheer you up! ... ... #EosinophilicEsophagitis #Eosinophilia #EosinophilicEnteritis #AdultEosinophilicEsophagitis #Allergies #ComplexAllergies #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #MedicalAppointmemts #MedicalTesting #SpoonieLife #Spoonie #ChronicIllness #ChronicConditions #InvisibleIllness #LizzsSocks
