Thought about buying an air purifier/ventilator with a hepa filter. Our apartment is quite small and i often feel like the air quality really suffers. Also hope this could help with my allergies, we also had a small patch of mold before which is dealt with but i think could still be causing issues.
Any experience with purifiers? Haidut posted about potential issues with endotoxin, others talked about headaches from ionizers..

Thanks for sharing, my gf has similar problems, trying progesterone rn with good success, might try this too though.

If it‘s a knot it coulde be a trigger point, basically the muscle fibers are sticking together and so they clump up to a knot, shortening each fiber which creates a lot of pain. Had that two years ago and things that helped were warmth and rest, also had massages done by my Physiotherapist. Could also be that the area is too weak and needs strengthening but i doubt thats the case. Could also recommend magnesium spray and topical red light.
If it‘s really a trigger point there are certain movement patterns that will trigger the pain over and over so i would avoid them for quite a while.

@Appa

Okay thank you! Gave her some glycine and taurine today, also managed to buy progest e from a place that ships to europe finally.

@JulofEnoch

Yes, occasionally- that has also been my first thought, but so far i couldn’t get her to have it regularly and in my experience the benefits don‘t really kick in until maybe 5-7 consecutive days of use in a row

@Appa

When she drinks coffee it‘s with lots of milk and sugar, she still has some weird symptoms :/, it might be that she has to take it with a full meal. What do you think are the concrete benefits of taurine and glycine for her? Just the sleep quality or also energy mood, improved metabolism?

@Appa

Ahh those are some good suggestions, i have her take d3 and k2 which seems to help a bit at least, also gave her b6 now, coffee sometimes gives her headaches or makes her feel weird, she‘s also vegetarian which makes it hard to reduce inflammation and eat adaquate protein i feel like, gonna try the glycine and taurine, maybe the Cyproheptadine too, as poor sleep and lack of appetite also appear frequently. Also try to have her eat the carrot salad as often as possible.

My girlfriend recently went to the gynecologist for a check up and came back with a potential endometriosis diagnosis. She has to get another examination but that will take months..

Her symptoms are very irregular periods, full body pain on the days of the period and even up to 7 days before (especially the legs and arms), lethargy, headaches.. I thought about progesterone as lowering estrogen even seems like the mainstream way to treat this condition. It‘s just pretty hard to come by as we live in europe.
Any thoughts or tips on other things that may help?
