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.
Digest Gold

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.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club

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.

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. :)

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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?

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
OMG my anxiety and stress level is so SEVERE.. for instance... I was online for my first 20 mins of the day.. and so many stupid requests and assanine freeloaders etc.. my chest and throat started to tighten up and I started to get shortness of breath... 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.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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. :)

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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?

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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!

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. :/

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
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.
