I love that your taking initiative. I think that patm is a mutation in our dna or something that we inherited genetically. To test this we would have to find a patmer with sibilings that came from the same mom and dad, so the more siblings they have, the more likely it is that patm is a genetic mutation/defect. Im not sold on the idea that its an evolutionary trait because that would mean that patm must have at one point been favorable, it needed to be effective, and it needed to affect the entire group of people that lived with a patmer or else the patmer wouldnt have been able to reproduce enough for his genetic mutation to be passed on to their kids. If you are still not convinced just ask me and ill provide a stronger argument. We both have the same symptoms but i usually see runny nose and touching their nose the most. I think that patm is very closely related to sebum, i think this because when i first got patm my skin and scalp got really oily. I also tested this by making my skin really oily and then comparing my usual reactions to the new ones and i noticed that my reactions were unusually more intense and did take into account my own bias but it was such a significant difference that not even the most biased opinion would be able to skew the results, im talking about going from affecting people very close to me, to affecting the entire room. We can test if patm is linked to sebum but you have to be the one who tests it. I want you to spend two days really focusing on other peoples reactions but take into account yourself too, what i mean by this is that you should note how far away people are reacting, how badly they are reacting, and your current mood. You should also try to eliminate any variables like diet, masturbation, self confidence(maybe you dont like your outfit but the next day you love it), amount of layers i.e. are you wearing a sweater one day and a short sleeve shirt the next. Once you have all that then you should use dawn dish soap as a shampoo and body wash for 2 days and compare the results . From all my testing, using dawn dish soap is the most influential on patm reactions. It made my reactions terrible because it increased the oil on my skin but i heard a lot of other people say that it made their skin drier so it could be either result for you. If you notice that people are reacting more or less than usual then that means that the dawn dish soap did have an affect and most likely it means that patm is related to sebum.
There are other diseases that show up later in life like Crohn's disease which starts when you are 20-30 years old so i feel like this is a similar situation but from what i have seen, people can see signs of patm from 9-30.
I meant to say that the more siblings a patmer has, the more likely it is that patm is a genetic mutation specific to the individual. If patm isnt a genetic mutation then its a recessive gene so its a 25% of happening. Imagine there is a patmer with 7 siblings, if none of their siblings have patm then that means that patm is a genetic mutation because its statistically improbable that no other sibling would have patm, almost exactly 10%.
I am sort of hesitant to say that stress is partly responsible for awakening patm because stress is really common and its easy to associate it with any other health problem but i do think that its almost definitely something that greatly affects patm because stress can affect mood, sleep, immune system which can also affect patm.
I have the same thing as you, occasionally i could smell something similar to ammonia or onion or something else and that would make everyone around me react very badly and it was almost instant but i got rid of that like 2 weeks ago. When i woke up i had a bad taste in my mouth and it made my spit and tongue look whiter than normal but that would usually go away when i ate and brushed my teeth. I still have the bad taste when i wake up but i brush my teeth and gargle lime juice and the smell went away after 2 days. Also my pee and poop smell bad too, and it also causes more reactions. I dont think patm originates in the gut though, i think that patm evaporates into gas then dissolves into your saliva that you ingest when you eat which is how it gets in your gut.
I think that patm might be spread out into 2 or more separate gasses, one for sneezing and runny nose another one for coughing and irritated throat and maybe other ones for headache, hunger, stomach pain and more. I have also had periods of time where people would only sneeze and have a runny nose, and another time it was only throat irritation and coughing which is the first time i had the idea of patm being 2 gasses. Also i noticed that people would only have certain reactions at different distances for example today i was with my family and noticed that the people farther away would clear their throats and the people close to me would rub their eyes and no one sneezed but i think its because i only have patm on my hair and i was wearing a hoodie so that gas might have been stopped by the hoodie? im not sure but have noticed a connection between distance and type of reaction.
I read you in some answers below, where you talk about mucus in the throat, which is a symptom that I suffer in the same way. Over the years I have been trying different things, like many of the group. On YouTube there is a man named Frank Suarez, the channel in Spanish is called "Metabolismotv", he talks about the two types of nervous systems that the human body has, sympathetic and parasympathetic, which he calls excited and passive. He gives many recommendations on foods that excite and calm each system. Magnesium, Potassium, etc. But in one of the many videos I saw what he recommended for acidity was water, because water helps to generate more Sodium Bicarbonate. In addition to the mucus, on some occasions when I get up in the morning my throat hurts and the point I think is also due to that extra gas that has been produced in all these years, which in addition to causing discomfort in my throat, mucus, it reaches my nose and even irritates my nose and I lose some sense of smell. There can be two conclusions from this.
1. It may be that so much hydrochloric acid is produced due to stress and nervous system problems, that it began to destroy the stomach and part of the intestine, generating the famous "Leaky gut". Therefore, supporting this theory, I have started taking sodium bicarbonate capsules two hours after eating, to digest the food and at night too, to decrease the acid and hope for improvements in the throat, recovery of the stomach and intestine. .
2.- The esophageal sphincter does not close properly and that allows the gases that are working on the destruction of the food to rise to the throat and the PATM problem occurs, but even so there are people who also have heartburn and do not have PATM, which reinforces the theory that there is an excessive generation of acid, produced in turn by stress and the nervous system.
For this point, I have been reading different solutions such as Nissen fundoplication, another that I saw on the internet where they put a kind of elastic chain and another where they give some radiofrequency shocks to help the sphincter close.
If we add as in my house that I took antibiotics in excess + Stress + Acid = The Stomach and the Intestine have not been able to repair themselves, in all these years. Everything that burns in the stomach and enters the circulatory system, the respiratory system and the body is saturated, regardless of what we eat, obviously there are things more harmful than others.
Hey so has the lime been working at all? If not then what has worked for you in your experience?
