>In the last couple of years I have developed cholinergic urticaria (with all of its attendant implications for auto-immune response and inflammation). (It may have been there longer but been camouflaged by the small amount of antihistaminic tricyclic that I took to help with sleep.) I think that my hypersensitive dopamine autoreceptors are also a fairly recent phenomenon and I wonder if the two aren't related. I think that the autoreceptor problem is new because only recently have I noticed that I need to sleep about an hour or two after exercise
Hi Kara, I know no posting...same here ..supposed to start studying.
Just I wonder if we have something the same going on here.Firstly are you on any form of thyroid hormones at all..like T4, T3 or Armour and if so what?
Here's why. I get lost with this, but my first reaction whan I started on Armour (which contains T3) but not on T4 meds was maybe something like a cholinergic drug drug for my bladder.I'm really lost here..the bladder nurse just told me a month oor so ago that my reaction were the same as happens occasionally for those taking cholinergic drugs.
I can't seem to figure out what cholinergic drugs do? With me my bladder just retained urine..and I couldn't go..until the T3 (thyroid hormones) began to wear off and then I got a steady trickle for a day or so.
I went to 2 docs at the time but both just put a question mark in my records and did the usual pretend I didn't visit them them..errr except that the bill payment was recorded <g>. Apparently what I should have done is go to emergency and get catherised..now I know grrSo with all of this I'm trying to work out if acetylcholine, choline, or even say lecithin will
have the same effect as cholinergic drugs??
Really I'm so lost here??Is this what you mean? I really don't understand the terminology. What is meant by cholinergic?
Also I'm lost with this "hypersensitive dopamine autoreceptors" too <g>.. If I say take some tyrosine I get a strong dopamine-like reaction maybe, like I can kinda "trip" on say 2g of tyrosine ..if that's what you mean ? I also get very tired after exercise, need to sleep for a day or two to feel good again..or doing anything actually <g>
