Can someone explain what a troche is?! 😂

[Gilla999]

   joziel it's another word for lozenge - they're kind of like milky lozenges that you put between the gum and the cheek or under the tongue and they dissolve. It is a weird word!!

Marchlove thanks for the tip - I'll hold off on doing the test till later in the week. Thanks for the info on DHEA - no I've never taken anything or know anything about it! Will wait to see what my test result says.

Crispy that's a shame you can't tolerate more - good that you can tolerate the cream though, how many mg is that?

[CrispyChick]

  also called a lozenge. Waxy Square, well, mine are square, that melts bucally in the buccal area of mouth. I believe you can get vaginal troche too.

Google how to pronounce troche... I got hooked on that. 🤣🤣

[CrispyChick]

Oh. Gilla... My compounding pharmacist said under the tongue will absorb more like oral... So you might be best sticking to gum and cheek.

[joziel]

Oh right, I know what you mean now

I had another pretty good night 🤭🥳 This is a new record, two good nights in a row…

The only thing remaining is this slight throbbing. I feel it mostly in my hands. It doesn’t last as long as it used to and it’s not as intense. And I think it’s no longer causing the palps, which is why I can sleep. But it does happen occasionally during the night.

I’m hoping it is going to go away totes. As I don’t want to be working out if it’s high blood pressure and what’s causing it etc…

[Marchlove]

Gilla- I find it’s best to do the test on a Sunday when things are usually a bit calmer and you can pop in the post on the Monday.

Joziel- that’s good news re your sleep.

Marchlove is that for bloods or saliva? Medi checks tell me same day to post samples back? I guess if it’s the cortisol saliva across the day, that’s a next day post isn’t it? I haven’t done one in a couple of years because that one was perfect results. It took 6 years of really bad cortisol results to get it right.

[Marchlove]

Hi ATB

That’s saliva (4 times a day), so I freeze them as soon as collected then post the next day.

The blood test only gives you a measurement for that point in time, which might be fine when you take it in the morning, then drop too much in the afternoon and then rise too much in the evening. Or totally the opposite of that! Everyone is different.

Yes ATB, it’s a quite a journey getting it right. Mine was pretty perfect in February then after getting covid in May my cortisol plummeted yet again.

Oh I’m sorry to hear that Marchlove, I know how hard it is to get it right. I really hope it’s short lived for you. I’m hesitant to say in case I speak too soon but I don’t think my recent covid affected cortisol or sex hormones, at least I haven’t noticed anything- yet

[Marchlove]

Thank you ATB. I think you’d have noticed by now, so hopefully you’re through it unscathed. x

The only difference is both periods since are 4-5 days earlier than they should be. Did I read somewhere else that’s common?

[Vicky81]

Hi
So since I got covid 3 weeks ago my anxiety, fatigue, jitters have all got worse. Initially I blamed me starting the birth control pill ...but there's no way it's that after looking at the timeline.
After reading all your messages here I've just bedn chemist and bought loratadine antihistamines.
Could I benefit from the other supplements you mention...quercetin? DAO? I believe these are natural?
I could do with some help with this covid aftermath.
Thanks xxx

[Marchlove]

Hi Vicky

None of the symptoms you’ve said you have sound like histamine symptoms.
The main ones are things like
Runny nose
Sneezing
Red itchy eye
Rashes/hives
Itching

I think you are possibly on the wrong track about all if this, but please tell us if you think might be if relevance to you, so we can help you. x

[Scampidoodle]

Histamine is a funny thing though as I have mast cell and histamine issues and I don’t have any of the above symptoms. When my histamine is high I get hot flushes, anxiety, jitters and really irritable, stomach pain. I’ve had hives once after my first covid vaccine but aside from that no skin issues.

I guess it’s one of those things that can affect people so differently. Xx
