Argh, that sucks!
From a quick search it does look like it is causing it. :(
http://treato.com/Theanine,Shortness+Of+Breath/?a=s
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'm still having issues breathing!.. I have quit taking L- theanine and the Stress Defy to rule out things.. but now I am wondering if it's the digestive enzymes.. which I so desperately need...Still on the clear lungs formula but at 20 bucks a pop a week?? yea ok..just so I can breathe?? I dunno what to do.. Health Insurance doesn't kick in til .. January 1st.. so trying to make do.... so sadly.. My anxiety and stress has to take a backseat to this breathing problem.. I must be on digestive enzymes so I am going to try another brand.. FML.. Going to stick with herbs right now cuz they don't effect me negatively , I know that much.
Yea I dunno what to do other than retrace my steps... I actually posted that so I could have a dated record of what is going on with me..LOL.. so I could go back to a time when I could breathe.. 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.
