hiya,
I;ve tried zantac in the past and i had a severe reaction to it- i have gastroparesis and the zantac removed any nautral gut motility that i had, the whole system stopped and i was pretty sick for almost a year, so methinks i’d best avoid that one! do you need to take them both together to get the benefits? if you do then i’ve got no chance! lol!

fiona-janeParticipanthiya,
only just been diagnosed with PoTS so not even looked into mast cells yet but its been something i’ve been thinking about for a while…. will give my dr a little while to mull over all the PoTS info i gave him before tackling mast cells with him. and give me time to develop a good argument for testing! PoTS was an epic battle to get diagnosed and has taken several years (although much less than getting my EDS diagnosis 😆
will be looking at your video again now i’ve had confirmation that my PoTS symptoms are real and not in my imagination as my old doctor told me. i changed doctors after that, she told it to me for long enough (about the eds diagnosis) and i was fair and gave her a 2nd chance but she blew it! 😆

fiona-janeParticipanti heard that you can get a lot of ridging if you are a smoker due to lowered blood oxygen levels. i dont smoke and have a few on my thumb nails, but they’re notoriously bad for their oxygen perfusion, have a lot of problems with it at the moment!
i also get massive horizontal ridges on my toe nails due to nutrient deficiencies (get them when i cant eat for a few days/weeks) and eventually when the ridge reaches halfway along my toes (from bed to tip) the nail snaps off. happened so often since i was a kid that i’ve lost count. i can use the ridges like a medical diary to tell me roughly how long ago my tum last went on strike, its actually very useful!. as i dont have many vertical ridges i’m not sure those are related to nutrient deficiencies….. but other changes (like flaking, spotting etc ) are likely to be nutritional…..
although i could be talking (writing?) rubbish as it’s nearly 3 am and i should have gone to bed hours ago but got sucked into this new (to me) forum. told myself to look at it in the morning but just couldnt wait!
