Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Yes, I went into anaphalaxis due to the Herz effect, I caught it back in 1986, before I realized what it was. Symptoms started in 93, it's systemic, its controlled with a regimen of otc anti histamines, controlling mast cell build up in my intestines with diet, supplements, herbs. At 74, unfortunately a long term bombardment with antibiotics could kill me, although I have taken antibiotics for a cat bite,(I was pilling the little bastard and it bit me, it went toxic in a matter of hours) and for a bad bronchitis, both times I felt great, but my doctor said no, The bacteria drills into all kinds of hidey holes and goes dormant, after it has eaten up all your cartlidge. The trick is to keep them dormant and avoid triggers. The pain management is for the whole body arthritis that resulted from it. I did the parasite protocol with meds, Ivermectin, and herbs, black walnut, artemesia, oregano oil, and took something to dissolve the biofilm, day 7 I broke out in a head to toe hive attack, and then severe vomiting, ended up in the ER going in to shock! I do take japanese knotweed to keep the devils at bay, but killing them all off just releases an immune response that is dangerous. The one good thing about it? I was exempt from taking the jab per doctors orders, due to immune response to vaccines.
