Immunotherapy Regenerative Medicine stem cell clinic review
You think men’s dating is popular but that’s just because you’re feeding it with your clicks and engagement. I don’t see any of that stuff recommended to me. Protect your mind from the algorithms!
Probiotics is key that’s what I did and haven’t had any problems so far
Spot on, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.
Makes sense
Thank you for your review.
Can you share what probiotics and medication you used and why? Hoping to talk to my provider about these combinations. Also how did u find the right doctor in that field?
@@myevilrabbitgames I think I did a video on this but I haven't uploaded it yet.
For someone with a chronic illness it sounds like you’ve got a lot of experience dating. How many of these dates end in bed and does that mess with your health?
Hello, if a man becomes infected with ureoplasma, does it affect his sperm while the infection is present, or is the damage permanent? Thank you
@@ThomasE-u3n I'm not sure since I'm a woman and had to see a gynecologist. You may have to consult a urologist but I know in women it can cause some fertility issues I think.
PCR testing is very thorough!!
Medication needed for your issue is Moxifloxacin..
I have it now. It’s causing frequency and urgency for me. What were your symptoms ?
@@germanshepherdmom1143 same and burning discomfort
What were your symptoms ?
I do agree with you on most points. However, my disabilities are quite different to yours, so I might be coming to you from a different angle.. I have autism and ADHD. I'm also completely blind. I know that I'm capable of taking care of a kid, in the future, when I've moved out and learned how adulting works. The biggest issue would probably be keeping track of my child, especially when they're two years old and running all over the place, but keeping track of your two-year-old is hard, even for a sighted parent. Lots of parents put a harness on their child, for this exact reason. My blindness wouldn't be passed down, because the inheritance pattern is autosomal recessive, so in order to have a child with my condition, the dad would have to be a carrier of my specific genetic mutation. What about my cognitive disabilities then? We don't know if those are genetically passed down, but I believe autism runs in my dads family. My dads nephew is diagnosed with autism, and my grandfather and my dads two brothers are... very interesting humans and I highly suspect they also have autism. We are all high-functioning, but my dads brothers have suffered, because they don't have a diagnosis and never got the support they needed. If I have a kid and it turns out they have some sort of cognitive disability, I'd know what to look for and I'd be able to give my child the tools they need in order to succeed. But the thing about being human, is that we all have some undesirable genes. My parents both have back issues, and my mum now lives with chronic pain from osteoarthritis in her lower back. Eating disorders run in my mum's family. My paternal grandma has congenital hip dysplacia, which is probably not genetic, because she's the only one in my family with this condition. If I had a systemic chronic illness that could be passed from parent to child, such as EDS or autoimmune issues, I probably wouldn't have biological kids, because I wouldn't want to put my kids through severe pain and potentially life-threatening health issues.

Hello My mom has been suffering from chronic recurrent UTIs for the last year, here in Canada they just do urine culture and always come back with Ecoli and my mom has been taking different antibiotics, none of them have worked. I just ordered the MicroGen DX WomensKey which does urine and vagina swap. I am hoping this test can actually show what pathogens my mom really has so she can be prescribed the correct antibiotics. My mom is taking antibiotics right now and when I called the MicroGen DX they told me just to wait 48 hours after her last antibiotic pill, how long should my mom wait to do the MicroGen DX test? You mentioned you waited 2 weeks after your last pill, is this what your doctor said? My mom is taking antibiotics for 14 days she finishes on September 11th should she do the MicroGen DX test on September 20th which is 9 days after her last pill? Here in Canada there aren't really doctors that uses these kind of tests so I'm trying to find a Naturopath doctor or an urologist that uses them to be able to read the MicroGen DX test. Do you think 9 days is enough time for the antibiotics to leave her system so that she can to do the MicroGen DX test? My mom takes probiotics daily even if she doesn't experience the UTis Please help. Thanks so much
Were they burns or micro wounds as a result of movement of the metals? Edit: I'm not an expert of any sort. Just a thought.
Not to mention the antibiotics can cause overgrowth of candida which is a whole different problem🙄
I hate that they just prescribe us medicine without doing thorough testing. We waste a lot of time taking meds that break down good bacteria and not even hitting what we need the meds to kill
When they say sugar remember it means STARCH. Rice, potatoes etc
What do you know about BV in men? Am I carrier, can I infect others and how is it treated? My doctor prescribed probiotics and I was relaxed that I didn't have the bad stuff, but recently I remembered I have something and started to worry about it again
@@TZAISTV-wl9bs idk much about BV in men
Was the ureaplasma in your vagina or your urine?
@@legohistorybuff6784 vaginal
That's so cute that you were asked to do something on dating.
Thank you so much for sharing! It is wonderful that you care so much for others that you are opening up to share such sensitive, vulnerable and personal topic! Thank you!!❤

Thanks for the update
Hi! I just subscribed to your channel which by the way I found looking up Anti GAD65 info. I think your videos are great and very informative. I am curious to know if with your SPS dx you lost your mobility or if you ever used any walking aid? Thank you in advance and I really hope you are doing so much better ❤
@@ingritamoreno I don't have any major mobility issues. The doctor that dx me said it could be a mild subtype. Other doctor's have questioned the dx though.
She is not a terrible speaker, she tells the truth. I was at this clinic and I know many people who were there also for months and he boosted everyone with antibiotics witch made us worse. On top of that, doesn't do the right blood work, no dietary plan, no explanation about his treatment plans, we can't talk to him, he gets offensive and blame his patients if we don't agree with him. I put my life in his hands and he almost killed me. I am almost paralyzed now. I believe that he is there just for the money. He ignored so many of us, never had time for his patients. Another team doctor gave me a diet plan to follow, a plan that I had already given to them???? I was in shock, using my own research and using it with other patients. Very sorry about negative comment , just need to be said. Don't waste your money going to this guy 😢😢
@@mariecote3412 they aren't very thorough. They didn't even care about my blood work. They do holistic treatments, which did seem to help, but they don't get to the root of the problem. They have EXCELLENT reviews online but once you are there and you speak to other patients it's a different story.
Evvy has an add on pcr testing
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, this is very helpful!!!!❤
First, Im a new subbie and id like to thank you for teaching me how to do something i was extremely afraid to do that involved something you had to do daily. I had to watch so many videos until i ran across yours so thank you ,i think you also cross recorded on periscope, and yes 3:53 These "medical professionals" are Doctors are ridiculous. It takes us forever to not only get a proper diagnosis but a correct one. Women that are in the medical field seem to listen more but it really takes our own research ( usually european) to get whatever is going on right. One thing ive learned about the GI system is that it is so resistant once you start on antibiotics. Im incredibly sensitive to antibiotics myself so i understand and if i run into a Dr that doesn't read my chart with understanding at his/her level of awareness i dont hesitate to walk out because that is and can be the cause of our lives being loss or our condition of daily life just being horrible. At any rate 21:04 It is triple the worry thank you for pointing this out and for understanding the concerns of other population in healthcare. I hope you have a great weekend and will get out into the sun 🌞 and enjoy beautiful Mother earth 🌎.

Hey! How are you?
Have you considered vaginal pH changes from perimenopause hormone changes causing Bv and ureaplasma overgrowth? Well, this is what I sim up as to what is going on with me. I have been having sex with my current partner for the past 3 years and no issue at all. Now that my perimenopausal symptoms have been super active, I got BV and ureaplasma parvum, even with the same partner. I had him get tested for BV, ureaplasma and gonorrrhea/chlamydia but all negative. I was glad his doctor was kindly amenable to do this for us. I believe it’s from vaginal atrophy due to low estrogen. I will do better about using my vaginal estrogen cream regularly and hopefully will keep the BV and ureaplasm parvo from overgrowth. By the way, my treatment was azithromycin 1g once, followed by Moxifloxacin for 7 days.
I do not understand the English language. I hope that you write an explanation of the video in the comments, even if it is in English, so that I can translate it with the translator. Thank you for giving us the updates first. I ask do you have a Tik Tok? If so, I hope you put your account here so that I can write to you on Tik Tok. Thank you again.
Hi, I am following the Seed Vaginal Suppository regimen and im really pleased with the results so far. It has improved my taste and smell, and i have not had BV or yeast infection in the past 28 days since starting. I have been sexually active with my monogamous male partner and i am also memstrusating once a month. I hope that helps!
@@Grace-zi6md I will check it out. Thank you 🙏
Definitely interested 🙋🏻♀️ I have a massive tattoo done by someone who did something traumatic to me. I also have multiple chronic illnesses (relate to your experiences so much) and have various limitations so this would be helpful for someone like me.
Hi Melane, you could watch Bent but not broken, Lea, Angla Joy etc are all on there. Are younot taking any medication? taking any medication? Also could you try SCig
@@lizblows7101 I've been in it before and I was ok but didn't see the improvement I was hoping. Also have tried exosomes and the same.
I hope you put a translation in Arabic. Thank you for the update, my beautiful lady
Not sure why youtube decided we need to interact... but here I am commenting again. Do you have any other channels? LOL! I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I wish you could find better support and had some cheerleaders to help motivate you back to a better state.
Wow that's crazy. I wonder how it led you to this channel lol. VERY different subjects lol
@@prettysick562 Exactly! I really feel like I'm supposed to be engaging with you too. Never felt that way about a youtube creator. I will try not to be creepy about it. ;-)
How are you doing?
Will be doing an update video soon :)
Thanks...I just subscribed... look forward to seeing your next video
You sound a lot like me. 😂 I guess we all go through the same emotions ❤ only as a male, I'm not supposed to show weakness.
You should check out my other channel Bad Dating Advice! I talk about men and dating on there. Might be helpful if you're currently dating or looking to do so in the future.
I love being alone... I have to force myself to socialize. People ask all types of questions.
It's all genetic. Some of us are just born faulty. It's hard, I know.
I was watching some Tori Amos videos, and I get this video pop up. Well, what can I say, you are quite attractive for a disabled woman. Yeah, disability is a drag. I have invisible surprises too. Yeah, its hard to be honest with others. I tend not to. Why sabotage yourself right from the start.
I used to love reading too!! I still borrow sooooo many books but my brain damage has made it hard to read too. See if you can go to the library and meet random people . Just talking to someone at the library will make you feel human. You’d be so surprised how many lonely and nice people are in the same boat at the library
I was unknowingly renting a water damaged building and nearly died and now have all these autoimmune issues. I have two of the dreaded CIRS genes. I was nearly dead and luckily my mum and my step dad let me stay there for 6 months then she kicked me out again. Cos I had a timeline. My family think I’m a hypochondriac and not interested in what is going on with me . There was a tv in every room at my mums 24/7 all day long. And now I don’t have a tv and it’s peaceful. There is mould in the water supply but I don’t know how I manifested a place after being homeless for so many years . I’m too scared to ever have to take antibiotics again so I take oregano oil if I get into contact with things. Not sure if I’ll ever recover but I still need to save money to do more genetic testing . It’s a blessing to be away from their drama and abuse trust me. I have an elderly dog too but I get stressed out if she is ever in pain . I’m terrified about ever losing her. I’m an introvert but I need her in my life she is my everything. We have a severe rental crisis in Australia and I was going to have to go camping but had no idea how I was going to do coffee enemas out in the woods, in the cold . Yeah it’s sad when you can’t talk to anyone about your health issues. They honestly believe we are full of shit when we have proof backing up all our ailments You absolutely need to get onto probiotics if you’re not already. When we are disabled like this we can’t spend money and it’s hard to meet people when we are sick all the time
Just an advice: you should try homeopatic treatment. I had this problem and had many problems because of antibiotics. My life changed after starting taking homeopatic medication.
anything in particular you can recommend? I am finishing a course of antibiotics
@@downthedrain19 what I usually take contains Argentum nitricum, Atropa belladonna, Berberis vulgaris, Hydrastis canadensis and Silicea. Try to find Sinudoron in your country (that's the medication's name). It works, trust me.
@@downthedrain19 Try to find Sinudoron in your country (it's the medication's name). If you cannot find it, ask a doctor to prescribe it to you with the same components.
I can't do herbal or homeopathic treatments either. I am very sensitive to everything.
@@downthedrain19 look for a medication called Sinudoron in your country or see the elements in it.
What is new in urea plasma? Is it gone or is it still there? How are the symptoms? I hope for an update on this matter, my friend. Thank you for telling us your story regularly.
Thank you for this valuable information.
Thank you for sharing your experience. After suffering for 4 months I discovered this problem and I am trying to get rid of it. But I finished the antibiotic and the symptons didn't go away. Maybe I have to take a combination of antibiotic as you. Please let us know how you are. Did you get rid of the symptons?
@@tatahg934 I have lingering symptoms but tested negative twice. Lots of people have lingering symptoms afterward unfortunately.
