His8hm, I'm interested to know if it turns out to be the result of a physical condition. Keep me posted if you don't mind.

Hi. Glad to hear today was better. I know what you mean about glossing over the good days. I think most of us tend to do that.

Elevated serum calcium doesn't necessarily mean you have too much of it. On the contrary, it means you probably don't have enough of it because your body is leeching calcium from you teeth and bones and depositing it into your bloodstream for whatever reason.

White spots on the nails usually indicates a mineral deficiency - your IBS could do that to you, or excess sugar consumption. In more serious cases it can indicate trouble with your kidneys (too much calcium can affect your kidneys).

That's encouraging.

Good question. Not sure I know the answer. I'm still in the process of figuring it all out. It's mostly trial and error for me. Meds didn't do anything for me, and a holistic approach helped somewhat, but I still tend to have pretty bad seasons.

Inositol seems to be the new miracle supplement these days. I've also seen a difference with it but never took the full 18g. I find that it causes diarrhea. Are you okay with the full dose?

You're right about focusing on today. I struggle with that a lot.

Seasons, as in stressful times. Although, even without stress I sometimes don't do well. Weather affects me very badly too. Do you see any difference with weathers?

I've got two kids. My son will be nine soon, and my daughter will be six in a few days. How about you?

hi,

sorry for not responding earlier, I didn't come on here in a while.

Yomim Tovim were tough. Glad it's over, and trying to settle down now.

How was it for you?

Over Yom Tov I came across an article in the Ami where Rabbi Taub writes something in the name of a Dr. Hodaya - a psychiatrist in the Washington D.C. area, who has a holistic approach to mental disorders, which might be if interest to you. He wrote the following:

"Inflammation in the body - caused by activation of the immune system and/or suppressed production of stress hormones - results in changes in brain chemistry. These changes in brain chemistry can result in OCD or depression. Much of the immune system (as much as 60%) is around the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, infections of the intestinal tract (e.g., yeast infections, parasites, chronic bacterial infections), or even food allergies can contribute to the development of OCD. Other infections in the body (e.g., chronic sinus infections, strep infection) are also known to precipitate OCD."

It's interesting, because I'm prone to inflammation, and in the past I had allergies/intolerances, gastrointestinal problems, and also psoriasis (inflammation of the skin).Text

addictions, compulsions, sometimes i cant tell....

i went to doctor today and hes gone a bit cooler on the parathyroid thing which is odd as he brought it up, still he retested calcium and iron so we shall see those results
i work in financial services, what u might call chapter 11, but i have degrees galore and professional exams from years back!
problem is trying to make a good enough living on all that
i am going to ask the dr on here about a good vitamin for stress, i am heading to bed soon i feel it so much
sundays-kids had parties etc, but they have school in the morning

I suppose my job is good, but i wish i was earning more and was more fulfilled, saying that the pressure is fairly low and they are quite flexible and i get parking on site so i cant complain on the other hand i am in a comfort zone and not progressing my career enough
what is your degree in?
r u FFB
In USA people tend to be more open on mental health, its more hidden here,but getting better
