K4 HE - silent switches ?

I love my akko penguin switches but honestly really like the wooden appearance on the k4 HE and unfortunately they aren’t compatible. The switches that the keyboard comes with are too noisy for my preference.

I really like the appearance of the keyboard so I went with it, but now I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find switches that I like.

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone with BVD struggle to use binoculars even with PRISM glasses on?

When I use them I see double of everything so I have to close one eye, even wearing PRISMs. No one else who uses the same pair of binoculars has had that issue.

My SSA/SSB was negative but I have pots, SFN, dry eye, and other autoimmune conditions so Sjogrens makes sense to rule out.

My doctor has said he has no clue what to do but will do whatever I need, so I’m opting to advocate for a lip biopsy, but I believe the lip biopsy looks for damage in the mouth, but I don’t have dry mouth (my eyes are dry).

Does anyone know if the lip biopsy would still be accurate if I don’t have dry mouth?

Thank you

▲ 8 r/MCAS

I had a MCAS flare a few months ago and my Hashimotos has been flaring up ever since. I’m wondering if MCAS can trigger/flare autoimmune conditions. In theory it would make sense to me since mast cells are part of the immune system (I believe?) and causes inflammation which can trigger autoimmune issues.

I’m curious if anyone else notices MCAS causes autoimmune flares for them, or if they may be linked in some way.

My cpap hose got squished and it’s like a half circle rather than a full circle for 2-3 feet. I have no clue how this happened, I’ve only had it for 2 months.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does it impact the therapy itself?

It’s the resmed climate 6ft hose. Thanks!

▲ 3 r/SIBO

Anyone else run into this issue? AlliMax uses 450mg of “allisure” and doesn’t say how much allicin is in their allisure mix, but other people have said it’s a very low dose and basically impossible to get the needed allicin dose. NOW Foods Garlic 5000 has the highest allicin content I could find, but it’s only 5mg per tablet (900mg 3x/day is recommended, meaning you’d need 180 tablets 3x/day for 4 weeks, totaling 15,120 tablets total). I’m really hoping someone will tell me I’m doing the math wrong because that’s just insane.

I’ve also read that atrantil is amazing at managing symptoms but doesn’t actually kill off the bacteria creating the methane (just reduced the methane amount while you’re taking it).

Anyone have any tips on killing IMO with supplements? I can’t tolerate the antibiotics and I’m wondering what my options are.

Thanks!

My doctor said you have to take the complex for it to be useful and berberine hcl won’t work, that seems to go against a lot of people’s experiences on here.

He also said I’d need to take it for 6 months- just want validation that it usually takes 6+ months to fix sibo/imo?

Any thoughts?

▲ 1 r/SIBO

Last year I had similar levels of hydrogen and methane SIBO, treated with rifaxamin and neomycin. The neomycin caused ringing in my ears so I had to stop after 3 days, and I don’t want to try it again as I’ve seen this can be permanent.

I’m curious if there’s any alternatives that are less toxic to add to rifaxamin.
