sure Dr Xiu-Min Li the herbal med is fahf-2, if you google her and the herb you will see so many results come up. She is a researcher and Dr.
It was heart breaking, she told me about children who are brought to her who get fed out of a tube because they are allergic to everything ;(
Oh this is wonderful news Vicki! Dealing with MM and MAV is tough enough but then having all the other health issues on top is an awful lot for you to have to live with. Wrapping you in good thoughts and vibes that your doctor can get you on the right track to better health soon!
Thanks Lulu! You are so right, the quality of my life got worse. It was bad enough living with MM and MAV but knowing certain foods can possibly kill me is just too much! I went an entire year after being diagnosed of afraid of putting anything in my mouth. I was so afraid of food I hired a life coach who specializes in food allergies to help me get through the intense anxiety over it. Thanks so much for understanding!
Hi Trish thanks for asking. I think I am almost done with the flu. So far the herbs have not been delivered yet. I am emailing them today but we are expecting a historic snowstorm here in the East.
The herbs finally came yesterday afternoon and will be starting them today. I woke up and my good ear as well as my bad ear are both very clogged, (which kind of freaked me out) my sinuses are off the wall congested, my eyes tearing, my drip running like a faucet, my hearing is dramatically decreased in both ears. I don't think its MM (at least I pray my good ear is not MM, thats all I need now )but my sinuses are kicking my butt, or my ears I should say. Probably due to the weather here its been snowing, raining, sleeting yesterday. Everything is iced over. Not today but more is on the way. I find before a storm my ears and sinuses are a lot worse but once it starts snowing, raining, etc I clear up.
Hiya Holly aww thank you (((HUGS)))! I am doing good on the herbal tea. Its a digestive tea, she wants to treat my gut first, before she gives me her fahf-2 formula, she feels as do many, food allergies has a lot to do with the gut ad the skin so I am using the herbal cream she gave me too. My tummy feels so good since drinking it that I forget to take my probiotic. I would take one everyday or I have bad stomach pains or nausea. My flu is gone and my ears are good too so far
I wonder since the tea is working well for you if she has any herbal offerings to help stimulate hair growth? Glad you are feeling better and things are going well for you right now.
thanks Holly and great idea nicmger! I will put that on my list along with asking her questions and MM and her herbal forumula.
I sent you a link on another post from VEDA here it is again for you some are not doctors but some are http://vestibular.org/finding-help-support/provider-directory?name=&circle_op=%3C&circle%5Blocation%5D=long+island+new+york&circle%5Bvalue%5D=&=Search
Update: I'm going back for my second appointment with the allergy doctor/researcher today. I started the cream and the digestive tea and unfortunetly after 3 weeks of titrating up slowly and reaching full strength of the tea and cream, I developed a bad reaction.. rapid pulse and high bp from the herbs. The Dr told me to stay off both for 1 week and restart just the cream, which I did So I started applying the cream again 3 days ago, so far so good. I pray she can find a away I can take her formula w/o me having any reactions. This will change my life if I can live w/o fear of food and anaphylaxis. I will be asking her today about Meniere's and how it may be helped while she is trying to straighten out my immune system to rid my body of allergic reactions. Wish me luck. I will let you all know how the appointment turns out.
Thanks so much! Holly, The visit went well I had acupuncture and we spoke about my reaction to the herbal tea. Her strategy now for me it acupuncture more frequently continue with the Chinese herbal cream, which will also help my skin and immune system and when I am able to put the cream all over w/o any reactions she will give me on my next appointment the herbs to take in a bath instead of tea. Once that goes well she will add her fahf2 formula to my regime. The cream, herbal bath and acupuncture will help heal my immune system and I will be ready for her fafh2. I asked her about MM and she said strengthening my immune system can only help with MM and help me not get sick so often and for so long, my stomach issues of course her goal is to get my body to stop reacting to allergens (seasonal, food and medications) which I know will help Meniere's. Seasonal allergies make my MM go nuts and I need to increase my acyclovir everyday during those months.
