A conversation: someone describing all the ways in which #fibromyalgia changed their life, and someone else responding with a cheery "Have you tried giving up all #FODMAPs† yet?" My reply was as follows.

"A friend with fibromyalgia calls this the 'cucumber water' question, as in 'have you tried cucumber water?' Anyone with any #chronic #illness has most likely tried anything you're likely to suggest. Unless they ask you for ideas, sympathy and support are all you should offer."

That was as civil as I could possibly be, and probably more than they deserved. I think there's at least the *possibility* of getting through in this case, which is why I didn't immediately turn green and rip my shirt off.

But having observed in detail the effects of #fibro and other #chronic #diseases on the lives of people I love—

NO. DO NOT.

†Fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols ... one or more of which occur in most of the meals most people eat every day. But sure, you should just drastically limit your diet because some stranger on the internet says so.

Hormones are chemical messengers that your cells release to send and receive signals between other cells in your body.
Ghrelin, for example, signals when your body wants you to eat, so it makes you feel 'hungry'. (Subject experts: pls add corrections, ty.)

You may know the hormones called progesterone, testosterone, or estrogen.
Everyone produces these hormones in different amounts, regardless of assigned birth sex, HRT (which cis, trans, AND nonbinary people can use), or felt personal gender.
(IDK best phrasing for respectful, precise clarity with near-zero risk of misinterpretation. Open to suggestion.)

Wait, wait. Menstrual ASTHMA?? Ok, maybe I need to pay more attention.

Bytes Europe · Impact of excessive alcohol consumption on digestive healthExcessive alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern, responsible for approximately 6% of all deaths and contributing to 5.1% of the global disease burden. Alcohol use is a major risk factor for over 200 diseases, including liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, and esophageal cancer, with a particularly high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. More than 50% of alcohol-related deaths are caused by gastrointestinal diseases, highlighting the importance of understanding how ethanol affects the digestive system. This review aims to provide an overview of ethanol metabolism and the diseases caused by alcohol consumption, with a focus on the liver, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and

"There may be instances where only a single cannabinoid (isolate - as in hemp extract) is needed, but in general, cannabinoids work best together and deliver the entourage effect. Pinene and CBD can mitigate some of THC’s adverse effects on short-term memory. A broad spectrum of cannabinoids is also ideal for treating cancer, as they work synergistically to boost their antitumor properties. Combining cannabinoids and terpenoids ( as in complete spectrum FLOWER) can also improve their usefulness as anti-inflammatories and painkillers."

Friends, lets take care of our bodies and minds too (not only our computers and software). Self-care is a form of resistance in these trying times. Synthetic medication is always a double-edged sword.

I'v been helping my family with this ancestral medicine for almost 6 years now. Let me know if you have any doubts on how to best use it for your condition and metabolism. No sales or distribution.

Ilustration on the effect of different THC:CBD ratios. 1. Low THC and high CBD is likely to have no psychotropic effect, but anxiolitic psychoactivity. 2. High THC and low CBD dampens the psychotropic effect and increases how long the analgesic effect lasts. 3. Both in high dose are likely to be psychoactive and sedative with longer lasting effect than THC alone. 4. A low THC and low CBD mix or flower is likely to have an energizing, mild psychoactive effect. 5. A medium dose of both THC and CBD will retain some mild psychoactivity along with potent antiinflammatory effect.
