RE: Can Cyproheptadine irritate the lungs causing bleeding?
@wrl I have tried the diet sometime ago. I'm more or less still with it but could look again with more interest!
I can't manage without the ciclesonide. I have tried many times. I've managed to ditch a handful of other medications that were prescribed and minimized others.

@basebolt
"Serotonin promotes blood coagulation, so cyproheptadine being anti-serotonin may have a blood thinning effect.". - thank you, I didn't know that."Cyproheptadine can also cause bleeding issues, so I would not use it together with aspirin. Anything that inhibits serotonin will reduce platelet aggregation" - didn't know that either. I definitely can't take aspirin - my lungs quickly over produce mucous leaving me in a permanent state of coughing and unable to sleep at all.
maybe try a k2 supplement with it - I will try that.
Many thanks.

RE: Can Cyproheptadine irritate the lungs causing bleeding?
@yerrag not producing enough mucous - yes - with bronchiectasis the mucous isn't flowing normally due to the distended tissue at the base of my lungs. I cough up lumps.
Medication I take: ciclesonide and montelukast.
I sneeze all year round so I take antihistamines when I get fed up with it. It's quite anti social and tiresome.
I didn't take the ciclesonide one day and I think that resulted in the minimal bleeding. The bleeding is no longer presenting. I'm pretty sure that has happened before. I have scarring at the top of my lungs too - they feel scratchy and become productive if I miss the ciclesonide.
I do have a nebuliser which I bought myself. I'm in the UK. You only get to see a consultant if you're declining and having much difficulty. I could pay if course but I know what they'll say......
They'd never prescribe NAC here for my condition. I think they do for other lung issues.
I don't expect a cure. I seem to have managed better than expected. Yes I do remember talking about seretonin and the lungs....
I do wake every two hours with hot flushes.
I did read some of your traumatic situation last year and am delighted you are now well! Quite an ordeal.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

@yerrag bronchiectasis and asthma.
Bleeding from my mouth. I've had blood from time to time and more noticeable when first getting up from laying down.
I don't feel unwell.

Can Cyproheptadine irritate the lungs causing bleeding?
Just wondering as I have a little bleeding. Very little.
I do have a lung condition and do sometimes experience bleeding from time to time.

RE: Narcissists - what causes it?
@wester130 I've recently been listening to HG Tudor on YouTube. He describes himself as a narcissistic psychopath. I listened because I wanted to know exactly what those two personalities were.
In an interview he said it was from childhood trauma, that he had no interest in changing, "why would I", that if an old lady was laying on the ground in need of help he would literally step over her if he had something else to do and/or if there was no benefit for him to help her.

RE: How do I get into Oysters?
@Kilgore approximately a couple of minutes. They'll get a bit of a cooking in the soup of course. I put them in the soup just until they're heated through - that's just before I blend the soup.
I really dislike the texture so only eat them in a soup that I have liquidised with a stick blender.

RE: How do I get into Oysters?
I buy fresh oysters. Put them in the microwave so that they open easily. Pull the oyster out of the shell, cook with a little butter and freeze them individually in an ice cube tray.
I then use them in soups.
Can't stand them uncooked.
