I'm in my mid 20s.
I also have the S-Type ( "only" 18 degree) was measured a few years ago. It is possible that the curvature could get worse in future years. The doctor said in my case the scoliosis occures when you grow too fast and your spine can't catch up with your body, so it curves. I also had considered to get a blood test, this would be the first step. Thank you for your detailed answer and informations and Scruffy for sharing his report. Take good care of yourselves. |

I did get a blood work done last year, but was for cholesterol(it was a bit elevated) but that doesn't mean anything bad with cardiovascular health, I mean cholesterol is the precursor to hormones.
I also use supplements mostly, herbal and "Nutraceuticals" some nootropics. L-Theanine and caffeine is a nootropic and is inexpensive. |

I take L-Theanine with Relora in the evening for it's relaxing effect. It's better than a glass of wine. There is a company called Nootrobox that manufactures nootripics that I had looked at one point in the past to help with mental clarity. Does it do anything for you? |

Not People. Cholesterol can repair the body(ref:https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14241 "Dietary cholesterol promotes repair of demyelinated lesions in the adult brain") It also has affect on neurotransmitters and receptors.(google) Green tea powder and extract or supplements is the form I take for L-theanine. I heard of Nootrobox but I haven't ordered from them(actually I have gotten a supplement from them through a different site) , I will take a look and see now, I usually go to "Bulk supplements" but I don't think they are just for nootropics but do have some. Another good site is "powdercity" And about the red wine, resveratrol and L-theanine combo are both GABAergics. |

Two days ago I fell ill with this flu bug that is widespread across the US. Past the age of 16, which in my case is 40 years ago (gulp!), I never had more than a low grade fever of 100.x or lower. Yesterday I spiked at 104.5. I'm a pretty tough cookie, but that got me really concerned. I was so sick I could not sleep, but some whiskey helped me get some. It looks like the fever broke.
Better today with temps under 100. Still cannot talk much, but can type. I brought my iPad with me to my bed. I watched Alizee videos time and time again, especially all my old favorites. And some new favorites. Even when I feel like total sh*t, she makes me feel good inside. |

Good time to talk about flu shots it seems. I spoke of how I see my doctor at least every year and it's more like twice a year at least because on one visit my blood pressure will be too low or high and he'll change the dosage which requires another visit in a couple of months. The same goes with cholesterol. Because of this, I'll always get a flu shot. This started about 20 years ago, when I moved back up this way and I haven't had the flu or a major cold or if I have had it, it's been so mild, I hardly noticed it. I have asthma and before this, having asthma made having something like that all the worse, but between the flu shots and the asthma medication I take, like I said, it's always of a mild nature and this when I'm often surrounded by workers who are suffering hard from some type of bug. So I highly recommend flu shots.

I never had one and never felt the need to get one, as I rarely got sick. And like you, when I did get some bug, it was mild.
But this strain is kicking my ass. I still have a temp, cannot sleep, throat and chest ache from coughing so much, don't feel like eating, walking from point A to B in the house takes much effort. I am a flu shot convert now. |

Royal jelly which is basically honey can help with colds and flu.
