If you can't afford the sauna, has anyone tried using one of those plastic suits you put on over your clothes that makes you sweat?

I've been on Topamax for almost a month now and this last week I'm very shaky/jittery, and like I have tremors where my legs zap or jolt/jump. Also, my stomach is in a knot like tight knot ulcer type pain. What could be going on? Anyone experience this?

Has anyone worked with a functional doctor who has successfully taught them how to gently clear their pathways in preparation for NAC and binders? What exactly did you do, what did you take, how, etc.? Any natural ways?

Diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) December 2025, after having 2 years of scans showing brain fluid issues (increased spinal fluid in the brain and spaces expanded from it, partially empty sella, front brain grooves wider than normal due to excess CSF fluid), for ongoing pressure head pain, left face numbness, left jaw pain, neck pain, lower back pain, being off balance, dizziness, cognitive issues, and generally feeling unwell, etc etc.

Prior to this IIH diagnosis which is debilitating, I moved into my new home Sept. 2018. Moved out bc I found major mold, deemed uninhabitable, hoke was rehabbed/rebuilt. Moved back in June 2019. By 2020 my medical records show headaches, face numbness, eye drooping, chronic UTIs, cognitive issues etc until 2025.

My urine test results are positive for the following mycotoxins:

1. Ochratoxin A,

2. Tricothecene Group (macrocyclic),

3. Gleotoxine Derivative, and

4. Zearalenone.

I can't tell if all my symptoms are my IIH condition, my IIH medication side effects, or possible mold in me.

I definitely have IIH (brain pressure from excess spinal fluid). My current symptoms include: head pressure, ear pressure/fullness/ringing, eye pressure/pain/sensitivity to movement and light, severe neck pain/pressure, shoulder pain/pressure, nerve pain down arms, numbness on left side of face, completely numb left lower inner leg, significantly numb right lower inner leg, uncontrollable muscle clenches (mostly legs), random body twitches/zaps/jolts (mostly legs), aches and cramps (mostly legs), wake up every hour at night/insomnia even with magnesium glycenate, stomach always in a knot and nauseated/gut hurts, constipated (even though I eat high fiber and whole foods since January), shaky/jittery (like my insides won't calm down), fatigue, dizzy, severe brain fog, etc etc etc.
