Sorry to hear about your flare up, Eric. That one looks rough. It's one thing when it's uncomfortable, it's another when it start to seriously impact your ability to enjoy life.

I'm a sensitive guy myself (ha), but my conditions are mostly gut related. I'm usually able to rein in my diet and sleep to improve conditions, but sometimes they're also related to stress/headspace issues as well.

I'll be curious to hear how your functional health remedies work out. I've been considering getting similar tests done myself the past few months, but ultimately decided to wait it out as my conditions were starting to improve. But I did find a great functional medicine provider in my area whom I could work with.

Sorry to hear you're feeling low, Eric. I'm sort of a health freak myself, always on the lookout for the latest and most effective hacks, etc. I'm well into my fifties, and if there's one thing that improves with age, it's the ability to ignore things and worry less—at least, that's what I've noticed in myself. But anyway, I guess it's hard to ignore certain types of conditions, especially if they're making your normal life more difficult. Let me just throw this in, though: have you ever tried simple, organic celery juice? Like, buying a juicer and making it yourself. A friend recommended it a while ago, and it had a strong impact on me. Just my two cents.
