I think I might have some bad news.. or it might be the brand I am taking.. I suspect that L-Theanine has been giving me this shortness of breath for the last 2 weeks, It has gotten worse despite my efforts to fix it.. So I stopped taking it and now I have to fix my lungs.. I am gasping for breath these days.. hard to work.. Tried tons of herbs..etc etc

Argh, that sucks!

From a quick search it does look like it is causing it. :(

It doesn't a common side effect but it does look like it is one.

^^ well I am trying to clear my lungs.. I have taken one here and there.. I don't know what to do cuz I need something!... I am thinking of trying 5HTP if it doesn't work out.. I got my sis on Sun Theanine now, she says she sleeps better and her mood is just different , better.. cant put her finger on it...LOL

Maybe I took to much I was popping them like candy sometimes haha.. so I am going to try again.

5HTP is a serotonin precursor. I remember having friends who used to drop X and they would take it to help stop the crash of "Suicide Tuesday."

Worth the try though for sure! I encourage all sick camgirls to try everything they can think of and report back. That way we are all working together to help find things that work. :D

I was talking to another sick girl yesterday and she asked how I was feeling and I explained to her that I was in the middle of 'herxing.' She had never heard the term before, so I figured I should come here and talk about it.

The term 'herxing' actually refers to the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. What happens is that when your immune system has been fighting something for a while and then finally get a push so it ends up winning you end up with a massive die-off of bacteria so your body is suddenly filling up with toxins faster than your body can purge them. You feel amazing for a couple of days and then what happens is that you hit a wall and basically feel like you are suffering through the worse flu of you life.You develop a headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, a sore throat, fatigue, brain fog. You are sweating and then have chills, nausea and other hellish symptoms. You don't want to eat and it is really hard to escape into sleep because it is so painfully uncomfortable.

Eventually, your body gets rid of all of the toxins and you will feel better then you have in a long time but in the meanwhile you'll pretty much be praying for a quick death.

The reason I bring up 'herxing' up is that a lot of sick girls punish themselves when they are not feeling well and tell themselves that 'they really aren't that sick and that they are just being lazy.'

It is very easy for girls to punish themselves for not having motivation when something like herxing happens because it doesn't on the outside look like the normal signs of sickness. They aren't coughing, there nose isn't running so therefore they can't really be sick.........right? If they aren't sick then it must be laziness.

But if you have ANY sort of compromised autoimmune system (and yes Eczema, Diabetes Type 1 and Narcolepsy are ALL recognized autoimmune diseases) you really should look into the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. While you were beating yourself up for lacking motivation, in actuality it might of be a Herx.

^^ Yea people always misunderstand when their body seems like it is getting sicker while trying to detox so they stop and say it is bad for you or it doesn't work.. it is good to slow down though if you are feeling to uncomfortable.. I am such an extremist I am surprised I haven't accidentally killed myself from curing myself..LOL.. Boy the stories I could tell.. Like laying on the bathroom floor in cold sweats from doing a hydrogen peroxide/water enema.. uh to much hydrogen peroxide.. don't try this at home.. my butthole was swollen shut for 3 fricken days.. I was scared I was gonna die from not pooping!

Oh here's another story for ya!.. I have been taking these pills to fix the shortness of breath Clear Lungs!.. works really well .. it is Chinese herbs and homeopathics.. well the other nite I took the biggest bowel movement .. the size of a baby!..right after I released it , I had the sweats, shaking, nausea.. I literally thought I was going to puke.. I knew exactly what it was because I have had it when I first started detoxing and cleansing years ago.. so I ran to the bed , laid down and was feeling fine in 20 mins or so....It's a weird thing and kinda scary.. but it is the toxins getting released out.. and I have been losing fat from the digestive enzymes too so I might have had a lot of poisons in them fat cells.

I had seen this thread and thought it was for colds and what not. This thread is amazing. I also suffer from chronic illness that makes it hard to get my self on cam or tweeter etc. I have bad anxiety, panic attacks, low vitamin D, RA, chronic muscle & joint pain too. I hurt and am drained after just two hours on cam! It's so hard to make what I need off 2 hours lol. It can be depressing :/

* hugs* to everyone here! It's nice to not be alone in this. I think I'll take some of your advice and try clips soon :)

well I don't mean to point out the obvious but your body is deficient and you need to figure out what it is to fix the problem, When you are experiencing illnesses and auto immune diseases it's because it didn't get enough of something.. Like Essential Amino Acids, Essential means your body cannot make it and must come from food sources. ( like you mentioned you are deficient in Vitamin D.. (COD LIVER OIL )

Welcome to the thread! A lot of us 'sick girls' have stuff going on with us that can't really be fixed so the best we can do is try to keep on top of self-care as much as we can and try not to beat ourselves up that we can't keep up with girls who don't have the same types of health problems. <3

I was diagnosed recently for polycystic ovaries, together with my other health issues, (too many to name them all in here) it turned out i dont have enough progesterone hormone in my body & too much estrogen therefore i am unbalanced with these hormones.
You dont wanna know what a long list of symptoms the lack of progesterone has or what means to have too much estrogen. Plus severe anemia! These all happened in the last 5 years w.o me knowing as i did not take blood tests (no medical insurance for the last 5 years), i was thinking i am just getting tired, old, so on but NO, i was getting sicker simply!
Taking treatment for my health issues now already & looking forward to feel better soon, the last 2 months i was running to doctors a lot to figure out what is wrong with me & finally got my answers. Plus i had to work in between these doc visits to make a living while feeling tired & exhausted & scared like shit!
For the moment i am done with doc visits till middle of january when i have to go and check my blood again for hormone levels & see the treatment effect. I soo need a break & peace time to be able to work & enjoy holidays. Wish u all suffering ladies lots of health and Happy Holidays!

I thought you girls would want to know I am reading a book called The 7 principles of Fat burning by Dr Eric Berg.. he makes you do a quiz to find out what body type are you and tells you how to eat and exercise and why some people LIKE ME have an impossible time losing weight.
The 4 types are:

Adrenal,
Thyroid
Liver
Ovary

Not my case but i dont drink alcohol at all & dont take any medication, natural or not that was not prescribed by a doctor, i dont detox on my own, i dont take anything on my own. I have a slow/lazy tyro gland, gastritis now cause of pain killer pills i took for my back pain, anemia plus the hormonal issues so i treat everything 'by the book' as docs recommend, often the treatments interfere with eachother & can cause even more issues or not have effect if not taken correctly.

I know a lot of us have chronic illnesses that are exacerbated by the colder seasons, so what do you peeps use during winter to make it easier? For instance, I have a ton of rice/heating packs. I can't sleep if my feet are cold, so I warm up a big rice pack that is meant for the shoulders and stick that under the covers to warm my toes up. I try to up my intake of omega-3s to counteract my seasonal affective disorder, and I also add more vitamin d to counteract the lack of sunshine.

I started like 5 different products in the same month that I have NEVER used before.. so I gotta start over and try out one by one til I can get myself regulated. Either that or wait to January 1st and go to the doctor.. that's when my insurance kicks in.. counting the days...lol

I'm going to have my cervix removed in a month. I am looking at 10 weeks without vaginal penetration and then I have no clue what to expect. I've heard stories of shorter vagina's so I don't think big toys will be an option. Another thing I've heard that terrifies me is that occasional Vagina's have prolapsed. I feel like my world is ending. I don't know if it's time to end my camming career or maybe just change things up a bit. I've also heard that some wemon get less sensation or can't orgasm. Will I have to fake it every time. A general loss of interest in sex or not feeling sexy ever again is a possibility. Has anyone else gone through this and did you keep camming afterwords?

LM, I have no experience or advice on this, but I do hope you have the easiest possible recovery. I have heard of other girls dealing with things like cervical cancer and still being able to cam afterwards, so please don't give up! You still have options. Again, best of luck for a speedy recovery and I hope the others have more helpful advice to give you ~

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread, but I'm one of the many ladies with mental health issues. I've been doing quite well for a bit, but the loneliness is creeping in again. I have a wonderful bf, but I want friends. I haven't had a girlfriend in years and I don't know how to change that. Has anyone else had issues with making new friends while being a camgirl? Or just feeling lonely when you work inside all day?

While I haven't been a cam girl very long, I have been in the adult industry since 2004 and I have experienced this loneliness. It's hard to have friends doing what we do. It's hard to let people in, because in my experience, someone will always hang it over my head. I miss having friends to go out with, but I have been recognized out at dance clubs and it always scares me and freaks me out. That's why I love this site. It's nice to see others like me who suffer, live, and flourish in their lives. I'd rather have "friends" I can confide in than friends I can't. I wish some of you lived closer so we could go have lunch/supper/drinks/movie and kick back and talk and laugh. Life would be even better then. xoxo to this site and the ladies on it.

Not sure what kind of digestive enzymes you are taking, but my family swears by either Digest Gold or Fast Food Enzymes. Fast Food Enzymes are cheaper.

<Finally got her period. On day forty. Last one was day 24. At this point, I was pricing abortions, so the cramps aren't even bothering me as much. I'd go on BC to regulate, but I have a huge fear of gaining weight.

I take the depo shot... no weight gain for me. In fact, I have lost almost 40 lbs since June. Might be worth a gander? You get the shot every 3 months. Rarely any periods and if I do, they don't last long.

I'm in the lower midwest where it's friggin cold lol. Wish I was in Florida. It's cold and rainy here. You're lucky to have some gal pals there.

As for Digest Gold - my mom started taking them years ago, but yes they are costly. She eventually switched to the Fast Food Enzymes, and loves them too. Either seem to help with her gastric issues. :)

I must be doped up all the time!.. so I am trying out some Adrenal Support herbs I got at the health food store... I did take 1 HTP.... I am trying not to take new things because I am monitoring my shortness of breath.. could be a heart issue.. I have no idea.. but I got tonic for that too...lol... Can't go to the doctor unless it's a MAJOR emergency and it's life threatening or January 1st when my health insurance kicks in.

JAC~~~~~~ Do you think I took to much L-theanine causing low blood pressure which is causing shortness of breath and then in return I keep trying to fix the problem by taking other herbs that potentially also lowers my blood pressure..??..lol.. I have been trying to read all day how long does L Theanine stay in your system for?? Having low blood pressure does cause shortness of breath and chest pains!... and that's what L theanine does lower your blood pressure and I think maybe I had been taking to much everyday.. Any advice?

The generally accepted and recommended dose of L-Theanine is between 50 and 200 mg per day. Just curious, how much were you taking per day?

I looked into how long it stays in the system and it seems to have a half-life of 3 hours. (Half-life is the amount of time required for a quantity to fall to half its value as measured at the beginning of the time period.) So, worst case scenario it should be at of your system within 24 hours.

You are completely correct that it lower blood pressure. I had no idea that lower blood pressure could cause shortness of breath and chest pains. Your theory is perfectly sound to me. That is some great researching done on your part. :)

Good morning ladies. I have never posted in this section, but I should have a long time ago. I too have chronic health issues, depression, and anxiety. I get scared to post in the forum, because if you don't know me personally, my words don't come out right and some of the ladies here(SW) can be quite intimidating and to be honest.... sometimes down right mean. I'm hoping this is a safe place to post. I read everything, but respond to little. I plan on starting to take the fast food enzymes that have been recommended in here to help with severe gastric issues that I currently take hydrocodone for. I really don't want to be dependent on the pain pills and am looking for pain relief alternatives. Most the people close to me just don't get why I have such a hard time working (camming), I am always told its such an easy job and they don't get why I cant just sit in front of a computer, smile and grab money. Of course they have no idea what camming is really all about. I have been camming for three years and in that time my health issues along with my mental health issues have made this job nearly impossible. Although I must say that I am blessed that it exists, because I know there is not another job that I could work that would allow me to miss as much as I would. Ten years ago I was a relatively healthy obese person, then I got the lapband and it ruined my life. Sure I lost weight, BUT i would much rather be healthy and large then skinny and sickly. The band damaged me inside and out and I am fighting to recover... although sometimes I am not sure I will make it. I value you ladies and the advice you give. I guess I just needed somewhere to vent. At this point thanks to severe depression and chronic pain I struggle to log on even ten hours a week. I have no car, no phone, and no bed and to be honest I don't even mind to much about the first two because I don't ever wanna leave the house anyway or be in contact with anyone. I wanna live in my lil hole I guess and be a hermit forever. Thanks for listening ladies. I wish you all the best. JAC.... You inspire me and although I don't post, I take your advice and appreciate your insight! Sorry if this was hard to follow btw.

I have been camming for three years and in that time my health issues along with my mental health issues have made this job nearly impossible. Although I must say that I am blessed that it exists, because I know there is not another job that I could work that would allow me to miss as much as I would. Ten years ago I was a relatively healthy obese person, then I got the lapband and it ruined my life. Sure I lost weight, BUT i would much rather be healthy and large then skinny and sickly. The band damaged me inside and out and I am fighting to recover... although sometimes I am not sure I will make it. I value you ladies and the advice you give. I guess I just needed somewhere to vent. At this point thanks to severe depression and chronic pain I struggle to log on even ten hours a week. I have no car, no phone, and no bed and to be honest I don't even mind to much about the first two because I don't ever wanna leave the house anyway or be in contact with anyone. I wanna live in my lil hole I guess and be a hermit forever. Thanks for listening ladies. I wish you all the best. JAC.... You inspire me and although I don't post, I take your advice and appreciate your insight! Sorry if this was hard to follow btw.

Hi Sara!

I sure hope the Fast Food Enzymes work for you. But I wouldn't necessarily use it for severe pain. It's more for people who have problems digesting food, grease on the tummy, acid and gastric reflux, etc. I see you had the lapband. Do you have health insurance so you can have it taken down? If you could save up to have it taken down, your life will be like you never had it, from what I've read. I had the old vertical banded gastroplasty in 2002 and have had problems since then. It's very similar to the lapband, but not adjustable. If you feel like pming I can probably look into some stuff for ya on the take down. I'm like you, even though I have gained all my weight back since my surgery, I would still rather have my original stomach and not deal with the problems that came with the banding. I've been researching having a revision for about 7 years now. As for depression, I'm very similar to you as well. Hermit Girl right here! :) Anyway, hope to hear back from ya.

Good morning ladies. I have never posted in this section, but I should have a long time ago. I too have chronic health issues, depression, and anxiety. I get scared to post in the forum, because if you don't know me personally, my words don't come out right and some of the ladies here(SW) can be quite intimidating and to be honest.... sometimes down right mean. I'm hoping this is a safe place to post. I read everything, but respond to little. I plan on starting to take the fast food enzymes that have been recommended in here to help with severe gastric issues that I currently take hydrocodone for. I really don't want to be dependent on the pain pills and am looking for pain relief alternatives.

SW can definitely be intimating sometimes but the good news is that 99% of the camgirls in Camming Connection are well-meaning and that includes the mean ones. Regardless of the 'communication-style' that camgirls use here its best to try to just take what is useful to you and let the rest of the garbage go. I know, much easier said then done....right? :)

Welcome to the thread.

Trying to get online when you don't feel well is the worst. I have anxiety and depression problems that stress me so much that my immune system is terrible.

I have a runny nose at the moment from the latest cold that I have managed to acquire at my office job. Have you guys got any ideas on how you can play off a runny nose on cam?

I don't know how to play a runny nose on cam but I do know that it is possible to make money on clips4sale because sickness is a category, if you decided to take a couple days off to record some clips.

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread, but I'm one of the many ladies with mental health issues. I've been doing quite well for a bit, but the loneliness is creeping in again. I have a wonderful bf, but I want friends. I haven't had a girlfriend in years and I don't know how to change that. Has anyone else had issues with making new friends while being a camgirl? Or just feeling lonely when you work inside all day?

In my experience, the best place to look for new friends when you are a camgirl is in the poly & kinky scene. The people in those scenes have never even bat an eye at what I do for a living.

Warning, the following is disgusting:
I ended up getting so sick, like camping out in my bathroom. Well, did so much puking I ended up with tiny hemorrhages in my eyes. Probably can't tell on cam given the pounds of makeup I wear, but does anyone have a quick way to fix the little fuckers?

I have red eyes all the time. I can only use eye drops to relieve the red veins in my eyes. Oh and red lipstick helps draw the eye towards the mouth instead of your eyes.

Well?? when I really started having breathing problems?? I could have possibly taken 2000 mgs in one day.. it didn't feel like it was working for me? So I looked up the symptoms of low blood pressure and some of the symptoms I was experience.. And so I was mixing herbs also that are sedatives that also lower blood pressure.. so yea!... I am a mess!.. so today I am in the wait and see approach.. I tried a 5HTP yesterday and then had breathing problems all day.. just 1... So I guess I am going to have to tough it out and see what happens!.. I do have some Adrenal Support herbs which I looked up they all raise your blood pressure so I am good there.. So far NOT much breathing problems so that must be it!


The generally accepted and recommended dose of L-Theanine is between 50 and 200 mg per day. Just curious, how much were you taking per day?

I looked into how long it stays in the system and it seems to have a half-life of 3 hours. (Half-life is the amount of time required for a quantity to fall to half its value as measured at the beginning of the time period.) So, worst case scenario it should be at of your system within 24 hours.

You are completely correct that it lower blood pressure. I had no idea that lower blood pressure could cause shortness of breath and chest pains. Your theory is perfectly sound to me. That is some great researching done on your part. :)

Thanks :) I do red lipstick constantly, so maybe shitloads of makeup and eye drops will work. Is there a certain brand you like? Does this mean I must forego my beloved colored contacts for a few days?

Yeah the redder the lipstick the better. I just use the generic brand from King Soopers (grocery store) lol. I use 3 to 6 drops and eye each day. Works like a charm lol

What I have read about subconjunctival hemorrhage (which sounds like what happened to your eyes) is that time will heal. Takes about a week to heal from what I've read. Also, don't rub your eyes. Don't wear contacts. I'm not a doc or anything, but I do know that Visine Red gets the red out. :) lol sounds like a commercial, but it is true. Also there is this blue stuff for eyes that I use that helps my eyes look clearer.. it's called Original Laiter Collyre Bleu Eye Drops. I ordered them off amazon. I love them because the blue takes the redness out and makes the whites in my eyes look white, and the blue in my eyes look blue-er :). I hope that helps.

Try putting something cold on your eyes to help the blood veins contract a little. Unless you have a burst blood vessel and your eye is completely red it can usually help some.

Ack! That doesn't sound like much fun at all.

I've never had much luck with 5HTP but of course the problem with all supplements is that the brand I bought could of just been crap. :/

Oh that is always awful. Honestly I would just go with it and if any guys asked about it I would make up some crazy story about how I got in a fight and got punched in the eye.

You could always try sporting some cute shades during your show... do a punk rock outfit or something.. ripped fishnets... gloves... maybe madonna-ish. That way the shades won't look so "off". A major bleed like that will take time to heal. If it isn't gone in 2 weeks, you should see an ophthalmologist.
