Vestibular Migraine
Hi all. I have been a little quiet lately, as I have been diagnosed with vestibular migraines/Menieres Disease. They are still trying to sort it all out but it has been debilitating. So, after I cried about how my life had another obstacle, I took to the drawing board to learn and help others as well. Soon I will be posting some information about the vestibular system and how issues with it are strongly related to/are also autoimmune disorders. Yay for learning!
@Lisa Z Thank you. Actually, vestibular migraines don't present like a typical migraine. They aren't necessarily painful. They cause intense vertigo to where I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round and I have no sense of gravity. My head feels as if it's floating and I get sick to my stomach. The problem stems from my inner ear. My otolith is not functioning properly. It's more of a neurological disorder. Very frustrating. However, a precursor can be typical migraines that cause head pain, which I used to get all the time. I frequently visited the ER with them. They're awful as well.
@Lisa Z yep. Like very intense vertigo. I had an episode today at my daughter's appointment. In the middle of her Doctor speaking I said, "I'm so sorry but I feel like I'm spinning and about to fall off the earth. I have vestibular migraines. I didn't want you to think I was being rude or weird but I can't focus". It's embarrassing 🤦 She just looked at me funny and asked if it was okay if she moved lol.
GLP's
I'm sure many of you have heard about GLP-1's and how they're all the rage right now. And it's no wonder. Who doesn't want to look their best? However, when taking man-made meds, there is always a risk associated with it. There can be many damaging and serious side-effects to these meds, especially if they are not used correctly. GLP-1 receptor agonists are primarily used for weight loss and diabetes and may create unintended stress on underlying systems rather than correcting root causes. By suppressing appetite and slowing gastric emptying, they can reduce nutrient intake and impair digestion, potentially contributing to micronutrient deficiencies, loss of lean muscle mass, and reduced metabolic resilience. Chronic reliance may also limit natural hunger signaling, weakening gut-to-brain communication over time. Additionally, some individuals experience worsened gut motility, gallbladder issues, or blood sugar instability when the medication is stopped, suggesting the intervention may mask dysfunction (insulin resistance, inflammation, circadian disruption) rather than restore metabolic health. However....there is still a solution! I have been speaking with a Biochemist who has been teaming up with other physicians to put people on the right track to promote the production of your own GLP-1. After all, GLP-1 is a hormone that the body already produces. This gives you the benefit of a GLP-1 drug but also gives your body control over its own regulation so it mimics what your body is naturally supposed to be doing. The body control is what will prevent muscle breakdown that you typically see with the standard GLP-1 meds on the market. Muscles secrete hormones upon contraction that balance other hormones and increase their effectiveness. As you lose muscle, you lose the muscle factories as well. This is why they created GLP-3. With GLP-3, you will stimulate your own production of GLP-1, which can also regulate insulin, cortisol, and immune pathways. This will help to restore metabolic function within your body. This is a much healthier alternative to losing weight.

@Paulette Bowe Absolutely! Sometimes we run ourselves ragged.
Burn out!
It's important to know your limits. I am experiencing burn out this week so I'll be back Monday. I need to rest my brain. Happy Skooling all!
