Witches' Brew for my Ape Brain Plus

The extraordinarily handsome runt :inlove:

Do I understand that you are afflicted with FM?

If so, I’d immediately go on a one week juice fast and then transition to n all-raw diet for at least three months.

Not only will you lose weight [the excess kind], but by going to [organic] raw food only you’ll remove as much of the Neolithic and Modern diet toxins as possible.

It will suck ass for a bit, but I put a lady friend with FM on a similar program along with pole dancing classes [no shit- gentle rhythmic dance with some upper body stress] and six months later she no longer wants to die.

Giving up her morning Coke and Yodels was a screamfest, as were the smokes, but now she is so grateful she’ll blow me discreetly in public- and the dro digs that.
Give it a go- no gratitude head required nor desired when it works for you.
Although I’ve no idea where you can find pole-dancing for giants in the greater Philly area.

Ru is a handsome runt? :eek:

That did it. I demand pics of this stud muffin.

Technically, no. My father has it and I was looking up stuff for him about 6 months ago. I read a report wear fibro had a strong hereditary basis and was like, just fucking great. I was doing some research up on colitis and related cantankerous colon conundrums and found that people who had FM, often manifest an ass problem years before.

I just got health insurance and had buckets of bloodwork done. Even if I had FM and manifested every fucking symptom per the textbook, I didn’t meet the time requirement of x # of months of going "ouch" to a doctor.

Fibromyalgia - Wikipedia

Ulcerative colitis - Wikipedia specifically Extraintestinal features which could look like FM or almost any other condition. Back pain, joint pain, my left wrist feels like it is shattered and my fingers feel broken, yet nothing shows on an x-ray. I also have eye problems which made me think I had diabetes like my mother, I took the test and came back fine.

Those are the lowest grade. For a month, if I were you at your height and weight, to treat depression I’d get a more concentrated brand and shoot for triple the EPA and DHA you are taking now. See what happens.

I would say anxiety is always primary on me. The other just trails like the occasional shit on the shoe, so to speak. I recall seeing some dude trying to get a new definition of disthemia going in which it gets broken into an anxious based and a depression based focus. Can’t find it now though. Oh Well.

Couldn’t I just take more of the low grade tabs and go through them faster instead of buying the better stuff? I just opened my last bottle of the cheap stuff and don’t want it to go to waste.

Don’t go to the higher dosage right away. Gradually increase your dosage with the brand you have. At your weight, 3400 mg of EPA and 2600 mg of DHA, approximately.

Make sure to take a good multivitamin with it. And standard disclaimers—check for drug interactions, particularly with blood-thinning drugs, no aspirin, no OTC pain relievers, stop if you are scheduled for surgery, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, before I got my script for crazy pills, I did double the intake of the fish oil and turmeric for anti-inflammatory properties. I was doing that for like 6 weeks or so straight. I only came down to normalcy cause I had other things to take in its place.

you need triple, you’re a big guy.

TT, are you feeling any better at all? I’m concerned for you.

I’m just glad that he stopped claiming to be seven feet tall.

Very sleepy, so I am going have to cut (again) either the 5-htp or the SAM-e or just 86 one of them totally. Perhaps I am over GABAing as part too? Or it working synergistically with the other parts? Went from 3 gaba tabs to just one yesterday.

Other than tea, I am going to attempt to drink no coffee whatsoever starting now. I am also going try to restrict bread as well as anything fried too and see what happens. I have not had any soda for almost 2 months now at all.

Waiting………..

Magnesium is a glutamate antagonist and it potentates the effects of GABA.

I give it a week before I am abducting people and drinking their spinal fluid and brain juice for GABA.;)

Twatus, I hope you get to feeling better soon. You do have my sympathies, I know how frustrating it can be when the doc doesn’t seem to listen and you can’t figure out the right words to get the point across. Being 300 pounds and damn near 7 foot tall, I would think your numbers would be slightly different than for someone like me who is 5 foot tall and under 130 pounds.
