Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I made a NF profile, but have absolutely no skill in html, which seems to be kind of important there in way of advertising. I log into it and turn the phone lines on, but I've had no calls there. I will admit, I put more time and effort into the ttm, so that is probably why no calls on NF.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Ok,so I'm convinced I was misdiagnosed. I really think I just have anxiety, not depression. I just think the anxiety made me come off as depressed. Ever since I switched to anxiety meds over depression meds, I feel better. Oh well, live and learn.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Omg motion(car) sickness.I hate you!And everyone I know is telling me to go out!Yeah,only around my home because there I can just walk and I dont need a taxi.I think I just had the worst episode ever,I will probably need 12 hours to recover.Curious what natural remedies are for this.So far I read ginger helps.Will try that out.I used to take some pills for motion sickness but they were affecting my liver so Im not taking them anymore.Im still nauseaous and feeling like this only brings out my anxiety .40 mins in a taxi and my day was ruined.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I don't know if it's the same as I don't have motion sickness, but I do have horrible stomach issues. When I'm nauseated I use peppermint tea, peppermints, or lemon drops. You can also try some form of "preggy pops" that are for women with morning sickness. I tried them, they work, but are a bit pricey depending. To me the lemon drops work just as good and are like a $1.00. Watch it with too much ginger, you'll go from nausea to living in the bathroom.

Sadly, our society tells us to only turn to doctors for answers and our health and never question or disagree with a diagnose.
So, don't blame yourself! Be proud of yourself for having the strength to eventually find a solution. <3

Thanks Chick!Is good to know about the bathroom effect.I dont want to live in there lol.I read peppermint is reccomended in combination with ginger maybe thats why,peppermint makes you go less.I have peppermint so I will make a tea right now.Hopefully it will make me feel better because I dont know what I want right now between vomiting and sleeping.Probably both but none happens.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Yeah, I found out the hard way. My mom was trying to find remedies for all of my stomach bs, and made me this ginger tea with actual ginger...thought I was going to die lol! Needless to say I was homebound and staring at tile for most of the day haha. She swears by a cinnamon stick or two brewed into a tea, but I think the peppermint works best, especially fresh peppermint. The cinnamon does seem to work for digestive issues though.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I think it depends what you suffer from. I know for panic attacks it's always recommended to try CBT so you can figure out what triggers them. For me meds arent worth it since they make me really sick so therapy has been wonderful.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
That happens all the time and they use depression meds to treat anxiety. For the last few years I am med free, I only take Ativan when needed and I feel a million times better. SSRI's are horrible, I just hate those drugs.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Also if you don't sleep well?? that makes you depressed! often times when doctors diagnose you with depression they don't even bother to ask if you are actually getting good sleep!

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I got some L theanine to try out from the health food store.. I couldn't find that product in USA! .. Not even on amazon.. but what I got was the Paradise Sun Theanine.. it is omg so small the capsules and you only get 30 of them.. so I took 1 to try out. there are no fillers though.. cost me $19.99 small price to pay for piece of mind in your daily life. OMG they are way cheaper on amazon.. well next time I will order them there or try a different brand..

I've never had an problems personally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. How high of a dose are you taking?

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Not much at all.. like 200 mgs a day or so?? however!.. I have been reading up on the detrimental effects of not having a gallbladder!! which i'll post about when I have more time .. on cam now..lol
which seems to probably be the source of almost every single issue I have.. I had my gallbladder removed 15 yrs ago.. and no one ever told me I need bile salts and or digestive enzymes the rest of my life!..

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^Not having a gallbladder I would think would make you more sensitive to things you eat, and take.
I remember when my mom had her gall bladder removed. She had a very specific list of things she could have.
So glad that the internet exists, because answers are easier to get nowadays.
I am prone to headaches/migraines, so I'm not sure if taking it causes one.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Here are some of the awful things of not having a gallbladder causes: often times not til years later! Like I said it's been 15 yrs and I was doing fine until I drank reverse osmosis water without mineralizing it for 3 yrs. And it stripped me of all my nutrients then I started drinking to combat the shakiness from the water poisoning as I call it.. then I turned into an alcoholic for 2 yrs and then I stumbled upon all these symptoms caused by not having this vital organ.
WOW!. so NOT having a gallbladder causes all these problems?
poor nervous system function, irritability, learning difficulties, heart disease,
poor blood sugar control, constipation, diarrhea, leaky gut, IBS, candida, dry skin, brittle nails etc etc.. All because you have NO gallbladder?? because you cannot digest EFA's and other important nutrients? No one ever tells you that you need to take Bile Salts and other digestive enzymes everyday for life. Yea they say your gallbladder is not really needed, it's not that important. Apparently IT IS!... I just stumbled on this info because it's next to impossible for me to lose weight and more than likely THIS IS WHY! oh did I forget to mention if you don't have a gallbladder you can end up with a FATTY LIVER years later? yea love love love that medical community! Anyways I ordered some digestive enzymes and you should try them to.. I prefer not to even eat at all anymore.. The only time I feel good is on a liquid diet and now I know why. Who wants gas, bloating and indigestion EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU EAT! Here's a few links to read about it. http://www.liverdoctor.com/what-to-d...ve-a-g…/

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
My friends had an 'intervention' with me about how sickly I have gotten and that I need to move in the next couple of weeks.
So, because I am not in *enough* debt already.....I am going to go all in at this point and pay for two different places to live for the next a couple of months because I am getting to the point where I just don't have the energy to properly feed myself anymore.

I know this was way back, but I went back in the thread looking for more L-theanine info. This post almost made me cry. I have days where I have to congratulate myself on getting all the way through makeup before getting too tired and giving in. I feel like it's an accomplishment to stay determined and make it that far, so maybe it's worth it just because I kept trying. On the other hand, I feel kind of silly for putting in the effort to do makeup that just ends up going to waste. I'm so glad to hear someone else say that sometimes just getting through makeup is an accomplishment for the day.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I was reading that Sun Theanine is much more effective and pure than just L- theanine.. and it does give some people headaches I read about last nite.. and since I don't have a gallbladder and not taking digestive enzymes??? Migraines and headaches are common where there is no gallbladder.
-
Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^ How much are you taking when it causes headaches? I am prone to migraines, so I wonder if trying a very low dose would still be okay.
-
Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I am just taking 200 mg a day .. not much actually.. but I NEVER get headaches.. so I thought that was weird.. so I waited all day today to take it til mid afternoon and I only took 1.. and I didn't have a headache.. everyone is different.. I don't have a gallbladder and I wrote a whole thing about that ....so I don't digest things properly.. I need to get them enzymes ASAP hurry up mailman.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
DAMN IT! I know I am highly allergic to nail glue. So allergic it put me out of commission from camming for a week because it casues my eyes to swell up like I was beaten up. My doc had given me steroids to take the swelling down and everything had been fine for the past week. So, forgetting I am highly allergic, I made hair extensions today by gluing wig clips onto strips of hair with nail glue (It works!). Think nothing of it.... just woke up and one o my eyes is starting to swell up again. I rack my brain and remember that I had gotten some glue on 3 of my fingers.
Thankfully I still had some steroids and this will go away in a few hours and it is not swelled up that bad, but damn it!!! I will now carefully throw all nail glue or all glue out. Crap, crap, crap. As crap, just remembered I am supposed to eat when I take those steroids. ugh, I am not hungry lol.

I had no idea that Sun Theanine gave people headaches! Thanks for the heads up on that. I am just sad that you had to find out the hard way. :(
