I am heading to the dentist tomorrow to get a crown removed, decay cleaned out, and fitted for a new crown.  Dr. B has encouraged me to go ahead and get this done because my X-rays showed decay and the dentist said to do it now before the decay hits the root.  I don't have to worry about antibiotics being used because that isn't protocol with this procedure. 

Anyone taking RP? How did it make u feel? Hopefully, better. Been in a flare for over 10 days now :( waiting for the rp to get shipped to me. Should be here tomorrow . 

This is pretty cool/exciting. Might not last long on face because we scrub/exfoliate/moisturize there. 

I would ask Dr. B when you can try this. Even though it is a single, LIST 2 ingredient, you are putting it on skin so it goes into your blood stream right away so may be too strong till later/after treatment. 

OK, are you curious? What is the single ingredient and how do you apply it? ;)

Hi all, wondered if anyone had any advice to help restore balance after antiobotic treatment.  I had to take them for a dental problem which wouldnt go away but of course I've been stripped of what was left of my good bacteria and my bladder is back to being rubbish again.

Probiotics seem the obvious choice...

We've been thinking about getting a dog for a while. I found that there are two opinions about pets and compromised health patients. Some People believe that having a dog in the house opens a door to ticks in the house, therefore increases chances of infecting and RE--infecting(!) with Lyme. The other group (Mimi mentioned it here, I believe) of the opinion that dog in the house increases exposure to different intestinal flora, therefore it is good.

Do you have a dog? How does having a pet effects your healing? Thank you!

Water brands in New Mexico and Texas anyone?

Also how have people gone about getting dr notes to bring water on the plane?

thanks for ur help!

Anybody else get a headache after going to the dentist?  I got my teeth cleaned yesterday, and today I have a massive headache.  The same thing happened when I had a crown put on a couple years ago.  This never used to happen before!

i have to have a crown removed and a new one put on in a couple weeks. Not really looking forward to it.  At least my bladder is doing fairly well!

I had a reaction to the Bomasense sunscreen so I decided to make my own. I just use zinc oxide and jojoba oil. Zinc oxide is what protects you from the sun, and it also helps with acne and rashes. It hasn't done anything really for my acne, although because I am fair skinned it acts kind of like a nice foundation. It does leave a whiteness on your skin which is actually helpful I find on problem areas because it lightens the bright red patches if you have them.

After a blood check-up my doctor urged me to take vitamin B12 as I am severly deficient. I first took pills but owing to IC flare decided to use injections, once a month. Can those injections cause a flare or aggravate my flare?

I also am taking for years now vitamin E, again the question is should I continue with it (I have twichy legs at night)? I tried magnesium but it aggravated my flare.

The diet Dr. Bizman suggests it totally without dairy how do I get my vitamin C and calcium?
