Hi there,
Happy to say long time lurker, first time poster... a wealth of knowledge on this forum and I had to get on. Hoping for some help with a key finding along my road to recovery.
I'm going to try to make my background short.
My liver/gallbladder were both in horrible shape, still aren't close to 100% (largely due to Accutane usage but also a genetic predisposition to liver cirrhosis that I only discovered later in life). I have CFS and wide range of other problems due to what I think is absorption issues (gallbladder) + liver health.
I've come a long way...
I've done about 15 Liver Flushes all very successful.
And having discovered the NAC/Thistle/SAM-e liver protocol these have literally turned me around the corner. They are all very effective for physical, mental, and emotional well being. it's been suggested to add Curuimin to this mix as the 4 have been said to revert liver damage in harmony.
However and this makes me very upset - I cannot tolerate Curcumin. Why does it make me very upset? Well since Accutane and the fallout, I have had ED and loss of libido. For whatever reason - and amongst the many supplements I have taken and haven't worked over the years - Curcumin has been an absolute game changer in this area. I'm not sure what that's due to weather it be neuro or otherwise but it works.
Unfortunately every other impact is beyond tolerable. I can't figure out what the mechanism is but it's causing the following adverse reactions:
- first usage > frequent urination despite not drinking that much water
- sluggishness, increased lethargy
- underye circles return
- skin turns more pale
- irritability and anger
- unable to think clearly
- non-restful sleep
- loose upper body develops
- more rounded, caved face
The anger turn is unreal and I could easily say mean things after just a single pill.
The fatigue gets unbearable as well.
With CFS and low aldosterone, I'm wondering if it's perhaps dehydration and loss of electrolytes.
However it also seems to be resemble a state of toxic overload.
I'm not sure and curious to hear if anyone on here has ideas to what this could be. It's frustrating I feel so close to breaking through...
