As the title says, i doubt the genuinity of benfo being sold near me, but thiamine hcl is available im internstional brands so i trust it.

Anyone with any calculations please help.

As the title says for 4 years i had extreme sinus flareups used to wake woth runny nose etcetc the usual. But for the past year my sinus got dry and i didnt get anything even from pollen my worst enemy.

I had severe headache And migraine for over a year ever since my sinjs got dry , i have beeb living in mold infested place but i was not well informed then.

I chewed garlic for the first time in my life since it has antibecterial and antifungal properties and i have instant relief.

Since doctors dont consider mold as an option how to convince my doc to give me antifungals.

Got benfo recently , previously 100mg thiamine hcl worked good but since benfo is superior how much to take withhout too much sudden wakeup symptoms.

Also i got it in a 100gram pack i dont know how to seperate dosage.

26M supplmnting b12 and folate for 3 months although k felt weakenss everyone said it was potassium or magnesoum deficiency but my blood test showed mildly low platets 130 and serum potassium was 5.9 and sodium 1 point up the lower range 136.

What could it be?

At the age of 27 i have finally figured out that i am lactose intolerant, i have had it since teenage but since there was no medical litracy in my family with lots of gaslighting i just presumed maybe i was genetically weak.

Now after a complete year of experimenting i have realised i dont tolerate dairy specially my right sode colon. Now since last two month i felt like i was being stabbed and suspected tumor.

Regardless i am here for advice on how to recover and feel powerful because my colon roght and left just feels weak and ii feel weak overall

I just realised i have had dry eyes for 4 years or so but i was using zyn pouches which used to numb pain sensation only after ive left i realise my dry eyes are the reason for my headaches, that being said

1. I have started taking omega 3 fish oil which make the feeling of "something holding my eyeballs" go away and loosens the muscles kind of feeling

2. Artificial tears were fine at start but after a week almost little to no water was coming out of my eyes.

3. I feel like my eyes have stuck tears no matter how much im hurt tears wont come out.

4. I am b1, b12 and folate deficient taking supplement for 3 months which make my overall body feel dry.

​

As a beginner in this sub, someone please give me something to make this go away, doctors dont seem to give shit....

I have thiamine hcl readily available and benfo with a little more cost but ttfd is not available in my country. Do i have to take all these for proper benefits?

26M, zinc was 11 (10-18 lab range) , i only took zinc sulfate 20mg elemental zinc for 10 days only and stopped because it gave me stomach pain.

Had another zinc test done after 3 months because i ordered zinc picolinate 50mg elemental considering that low levels dont rise so easily. But surprisingly my levels are 18.6 (10-18 range).

Is this test legit? should i repeat it ?because i know its not possible to get alot of zinc from diet with me eating really less too because of less appetite and stomach issues.

I took a capsule just to test and it made me feel good , relieved my headache too.

I was never taught to do anything, when i wanted to learn i was always told to not to do it or im doing it wrong, or ill fuck it up etc, and when i didnt do anything theyll say i dont know how to do shit.

I am stuck in a loop where if i do things im scared and if i dont things im scared i dont connect with anything the only thing that is constant is that i am going to face negativity no matter what i do.

That being said i have lost my executive drive and dont know any basic life skills as well, no initiative and just plain dead on the inside.

Part of me believes that they did all this to keep me a slave, because independence meant theyll be useless to me or something like this.

Any tips on how someone managed to get out of it?

26M , had fat malabsorption for years and also i conshmed very less fat and did marathons. My diet was also not very diverse only had eggs and chicken.

Got diagnosed with Vit D (9) , b12 (150) and folate (3) defieicny but not only limited to these i have tried other cofactors as well and realised i need them too and probably am deficient.

I have had migraine since past two years which got better when i started supplementing but still my left eye hurt and that led to me having a headache throuhoht the day.

I have red eyes when i wake up and i have to use artificial tears to feel better.

Recently i ate beef liver and felt an immediate relief in my eye pain. Could it be that because of my time of low fat diet i am deficiecnt in other fat soluble vitamins.

I had dry eyes , eyes hurt, dry skin and less mucus production.

I want to start retinol 10000iu per week or every 3 days. How long will it take to lead to toxicity? I will only complete a dose of 30 capsules just to see the effects.

1. Started supplementing 4 months ago, 1000mcg (morning 500 and evenung 500), started l methylfolte 400mcg daily 1 month ago.

2. Took Vit D 2000iu plus k2 everyother day for a month( after Vit D replacemnt therapy 200000iu injections for 4 weeks , one per week)

3. Took fish oil for a month 500mg to 1000mg EOD.

4. Now 4 months into all this i have seen improvement in all aspects of my life, but my brain and body feel lifeless past few days. I get scared that maybe my nervous system is giving up. Is it a recovery phase or something to get checked for

Is it normal to get fishy breaths if supplement has not gone bad.

I have been using omega 3 1000mg for more than a month, in winter i never felt the need to put them in the fridge/freezer but since the start of summer i have been putting them in fridge then freezer because now when i take it i get a taste of fish oil. I checked it before putting it in the freezer it had a smooth soft fishy smell not rotten, even now it has the same. Its color was light which it still is. I opened one and it has no rotten smell.

I deserved to be loved even when i failed at things

I deserved love even when i was not following the rules fully

I deserved compassion

I deserved to be listened to without the need to suppress myself

I deserved the right to express myself

I deserved feeling that someone has my back

I deserved a smile at my mistakes

Because no matter what the case maybe i was just a kid who deserved knowing that its ok bsing me...

Started taking omega 1000mg omega 3 month ago, first 500mg with 12 hour difference , now 1000mg at once with a better brand.

Under influence of omega 3:

1. I start to remember past events long forgotten,

2. I feel my brain juicing up (ig thats the right term)

3. i feel the calmness i felt 10 years ago before everything went south and i feel myself fighting to get back into panic mode.

4. My racing thoughts feel like being suppressed.

5. I am also experiencung loss of libido but i know its not linked to only this.

6. I am also b12 and folate deficient and taking supplemnt for past 2 months will continue for 2-3 more months.

Does anyone else feel something similar?

1. Thiamine hcl , benfotiamine or something else?

2. How they vary in absorption?

In my area thiamine is nkt availabke as a single vit its mainky availbale in100 mg thiamine HCL form with 50mg b6 and 50mcg b12.

I am concerned about the b6 because i learned from this sub thay it can lead to woraening of symptoms.

1. 26 M, physically active but not as much as i used to,

Diagnosed with vit D , b12 and folate deficiency ( Vit D back to normal and on b12 and folate supllement since last 2 months will continue for anothee 2 months).

Zinc and iron also borderline taking both on alternative days. Magnesium, copper, potassium normal.

2. Thyroid lab results:

T3 : 1.4 (1.2-3.1 lab range)

T4 : 98.2 (66-181)

TSH : 1.51 (0.27-4.2)

3. Overall symtoms are better from the supplement i am taking but still have following synptoms: not able to speak up feels like my throat doesnt want to speak , Low libido, excercise in tolerance, little to no sweat even with intense workout, heavy forehead.

26M Started taking omega 3 month ago , started with 500mg two times a day with 12 hour difference noted improved vision and less headaches ,

Recently shifted to a better brand 1000mg per day once and after 3 hours or so my head gets really heavy as if someone is pushing me to sleep (my bp and blood sugar remains normal dueing this time also HR). It stays like this for a 30 minutes or so and then eases up a bit.

1. I have not eaten sea food much in my life (like 5-6 times i have eaten fish) also not a fan of nuts.

2. Is this reaction because i am deficienct and replenishing omega 3 (used ti be same when i did Vit D injections 200000iu) because i am taking bare minimum as per what i have read.
