All Good.

I don't know how much I should talk about how much better I'm doing. It's partially because it sounds crazy and partially because it's so hard to explain. And there's also the trepidation that it might go away. But I found out what has been making me sick for 5 years and now I'm a heck of a lot better ( Read more... )

Wow.

I'm really glad you're feeling better! I hope your improvement continues.

My development has well water. No fluoride.

Shameless ad over. etherial April 15 2009, 10:48:17 UTC

What did your doctor say? Was their egg on zir face?

Oh, I've given up on doctors. They are completely useless wastes of money. But I read about one woman who had fibro who went on a fluoride free diet and told her primary care who laughed at her and her rheumatologist (the kind of specialist who deals with fibro), who said he didn't want to see her again. She got one doctor to humor her and test her fluoride levels, then the doctor never got back to her. She got the tests back from the lab herself and the levels were elevated, but the doctor didn't want to talk to her again ( ... )

Re: And I'm totally jealous of your well water =) ...maybe we should move into Camelot.... etherial April 15 2009, 19:02:42 UTC

Yes, you should. We even have an elevator to sit in.

Wow, I wonder if this happened to my mother. Her teeth are all messed up because as a kid in Texas her water was accidentally fluoridated at like, 3x more than they intended to, and now her thyroid is all messed up. Huh.

Is it possible to filter the stuff, or do you just have to buy your water now? Must make cooking really expensive.

Also, yaaaay! Glad you feel so much better!

Yeah, dental fluorosis? Which you get from too much fluoride. I also have that actually (you can tell if you have white spots on your teeth). It only develops in childhood as far as I know. (If anyone is feeling crazy, go to google images and search 'dental fluorosis'. Some of the pictures are mild cases, but the severe cases - yeesh ( ... )

This certainly doesn't seem at all crazy to me. And I'm really glad you're doing better! We should really get our hang on soon.

Dude, Dhoom is waiting for you.
