@foxgelb I've actually been feeling good after B1, or at least after Energin, whether that's the prosultiamine working or something else. This stretch of good mood for almost 2 months seems to be underwritten by Energin in big part. Yeah I'm eating pretty blandly, with safe stuff, and I've been recovering from the flare.
The uncomfortable feeling on the left side is starting to disappear.
And yeah, kidney does go with the symptoms I have, but then so does liver problems, which I'm thinking might be the core issue. Probably those can go together. When I feel my stomach acting up, my sweat usually smells like ammonia, and I will get dizzy, unable to focus. Cold hands & feet. Circadian rhythm changes, tired in the morning (and daytime) and less sleepy at night. A year or more ago, I'd come home and take naps, wake up feeling like a dead person at awkward times of the day. Even further back I'd have all that, and terrible dandruff and itchy skin. Serious fatigue, again with the dizziness and that. Even my personality is affected, I guess no brain can really have much fun when this stuff is going on. Nausea sometimes. Hepatic encephalopathy?
All this is lessening over time, and the last 2 months have been great on all fronts. Then, with this flare, some of the things come back, it's like a small scab has been formed across the old symptoms and when the scab is peeled off for whatever reason, the symptoms come trickling back a little. Constipation tendency comes back a bit, stool even changed color, libido tanks. Apologize for the wall of text.
It's possible the current flare wasn't started by the oxtail, or takeout sushi - just prior to that, I'd accidentally eaten mashed potatoes, made with carrageenan-laced cream, two days straight. Bastards are planting landmines everywhere.
