There are so many psychologists/therapists and types of therapy to choose from, and this can make it hard to know who to see.
The therapists might get good reviews because they are kind, good listeners, but are there types of therapies that have actually produced lasting results for you--as in a noticeable reduction in depression and/or anxiety that lasts longer than the interval between appointments?

We've seen a couple therapists, for years even, where it just did not feel like we were making progress.
We're also not big fans of all of the homework involved in DBT, even if we respect it as the best choice for others.

Please share what has worked best for you!

Thanks!

I just wanted to share that after seeing a video from Dr Rick Pescatore, BellyMD, on Instagram, I had my teen's B1 thiamine level tested at the lab.
Turns out the doctor was right: my teen's thiamine level was flagged as low (not just functional-medicine-below-optimal-low).
This is probably caused by Sertraline (SSRI).

So if you are taking a SSRI and have any of the following symptoms, watch his videos and then speak to your doctor:
Among others: Fatigue, irritability, poor concentration, reduced appetite, and mild peripheral tingling.

NOTE: the SSRI blocks thiamine receptors, so you need to supplement with a *lipid-based thiamine supplement*
He explains that in his video/s and your own doctor should confirm it for you.

Hello,
I have often seen recommendations for electrolytes.
Obviously, they serve their function best during exercise and hot weather, i.e. any time you sweat a lot.

However, I would like to ask those of you that take them, if most of you are taking them as part of your everyday prevention routine, or if most of you are taking them during the prodrome phase in hopes of preventing an attack or reducing its severity.

I guess I'm just trying to best understand when to take them for optimal efficacy.

Thank you.

I'm just wondering: how many of you found more pain relief from treating your MCAS than your EDS?
Mainly, the well-known H1 + H2 antihistamine protocol, but also any other histamine management/treatment.

Were any of you able to reduce your LDN dosage as a result of treating MCAS/histamine intolerance?
