    Sleeping under a weighted blanket reduced my morning muscle pain

    Maybe electromagnetic radiation is disturbing your sleep?

    Is electro-magnetic field (EMF) hypersensitivity a real thing?

    Yes it is a real thing. Put the phone in AIRPLANE mode. I recommend you to get the EMFields Acousticom 2 or Acoustimeter to test for radiation where you sleep.

    houses w power lines attached

    Power lines are only dangerous if you have magnetic fields where you stay or sleep. There are meters to check that.

    Study links health risks to electromagnetic field exposure

    I use a USB keyboard and mouse. And of course, no RGB or off, because it also generates a strong magnetic field. For electromagnetic radiation, I have some meters. You can also buy shielding from YSHIELD.

    Someone has tried this 2LEBV?

    I have mixed feeling about that. I think I felt a little better but because the inmune system wasn't being so effective. i stopped taking them because I relate it to homeopathy, but to be honest I should try them again. Probably I will do.

    Someone has tried this 2LEBV?

    I did try it a couple of years ago, both 2LEVB and 2LEID. What I remind is that they made me feel worse, but that's probably because the inmune system was fighting harder, at least was what the doctor told me. You have to take them for a few months, you won't notice the effects right away. Those...

    Has anyone on this site cured him or herself of CFS/ME? Did I?

    Your urinary tract infection is in your head - Guardian article

    Most of times it will be viruses, and when bacteria they don't perform the specific tests. Lots of bacteria types require specific test, just regular grow tests won't show anything.

    leukopenia and neutropenia

    As far as I know, white cells or lymphocytes are subdivided into several types: B, T (CD4+, CD8+) and NK. Testing for them individually should reveal more about the fact I guess.

    @snowathlete did you test for lymphocytes? Specifically for all subsets of them: B, T (CD4+, CD8+) and NK. If you checked for some of them, did you check also its activity and not only the quantity?

    People with hsp (High Sensitive Person)

    From my point of view, being myself hsp, it is very different how you feel and sense the world. Autistics have someway inability to either perceive or express both internally and externally. Hsp on the opposite can do very well, however the stimulus are overwhelming and thus retract to...

    why is my new supplement making me urinate so much :(

    The thing with diuretics is that make you urinate more, even if you drink the same! So take care to drink more water, or you will get more concentrated blood and thus increasing the uric acid, among other problems.

    Does Anyone Else Feel Better As They Are Getting Over the Flu?

    It happened to me also the past winter (not this one). I felt slightly better than before having the flu but my symptoms did not remit of course. I can think of various options why one feels better. One is that the immune system ignores the enterovirus and focuses on the flu. The other option is...

    leukopenia and neutropenia

    My blood test revealed just after the onset a mid leukopenia (specifically neutropenia, the other cells were normal). I had as low as 2500 white blood cells per square millimeter, while normal is above 4000 depending on lab. Before the onset I had normal values on all analysis. Now I have them...

    AM3 (Inmunoferon), which is a glycoconjugate of natural origin, inhibits LPS-induced TNF-alpha production and inflammatory responses. It is prescribed to boost defenses. My onset was on mid 2010, with symptoms matching the Chronic Sore Throat / Mood Virus. On blood test there was a mid...

    emergency report from China

    Are you talking about Leukopenia? That's exactly my most noticeable value on blood tests. I had it as low as 2500 per cubic millimeter, and most times marginally lower than 4000, while before I used to have about 5000. I had Immunoferon (AM3) for two months and the symptoms became much worse. I...

    Here are my comments on some of your results Eosinophils 4% [0-4]: eosinophilia may be due to parasitism. Shouldn't be high on a normal pacient. ANF (Antinuclear factor) 40 [0-40]: autoimmune marker. There are a bunch of others too. Not good to have even one of them positive. In my case...

    Article: Ampligen Study Sparks Hopes for FDA Approval of First Drug for CFS

    The Rituximab only works on some cases and still we don't know why. Furthermore shutting down the immune system would relief the symptoms but as well leave us unprotected from infections and external aggressions because of the immune system shut down itself.
