Does anyone have this
« on: February 06, 2019, 02:56:53 PM »
On one corner of lip, I have a darkened area for last 10 yrs, very mild face nerve weakness (increases 20 fold during POIS), it looks to me as if tissue has died (skin is dry flaky, rimpled).  Doc says apply vaseline and gave gabapentin (which works but I dont use it).  This darkened area has a sharp burning/tingling feeling - very uncomfortable.  This tingling increases 20 fold during POIS.   Maybe this dark area developed due to irritation since I have habit to stretch this skin (it helps me abate the tingling feeling).

Does anyone else has this?.  I am suspecting this might be weak immune system, candida/fungus/virus, since I get canker sores on the inside of mouth.  I tried AHCC in hopes to killing the virus, but AHCC messed up POIS and caused nasal congestion.  Currently trying Riboflavin, I started it yesterday, will know in 2-3 weeks.
POIS Free, 2+ yrs (occasional/predictive lapses)
Pois symptoms: Peripheral (Skin: Urticaria, dryness, pale blotchy skin), Exasperation of: [Nerve weakness, Muscle weakness + Mental (CNS: Brain Fog, Irritation, Isolation, Speech lethargy, Anxiety)].
Other conditions: ASD, ADD, GA

"It?s also been shown to help some candidiasis sufferers"

I'm pretty sure my POIS is from candida now. Started heavy candida regime a couple of days ago and the symptoms have flared up immensely (die-off). It makes total sense as I got this shit after overeating sugar after following Ray Peat. Ive since used alcohol to deal with the symptoms which also feeds candida.

I'm curious if you would get any relief from digestive enzymes taken on an empty stomach (2 hours before and after a meal), especially effective if taken on an empty stomach before going to bed. These provide both POIS symptom relief and Candida die-off relief (extremely similar symptoms for me). The best I found were Digest Spectrum by Enzymedica and Pancreatin 8X by Source Naturals. I've ordered and am waiting in excitement for Candidase normal strength by Enzymedica.

thank you tearjerker for the Riboflavin tip.  The one scary thing I read on the link you provided: "Too much vitamin B2 can cause cataracts, but so can too little." 
I have started on 100 - 200 mg / day, and plan to take 400mg / day from tomorrow.  How much are you taking?

You shouldn't take more than 200, that's the recommended limit. I take 150 to 200 a day. You should feel better after a day or two or three or else it might not work for you.

Ooops I ordered 400 mg, it has great reviews though on amazon, people confessing it as their miracle cure.
