Dear Allison,

i wrote to you some time back too. if you remember i had suggested you

to get your blood tested for any kind of leukemia.

as your symptoms keep getting more pronounced i still feel you must go

to your doc and suggest that he conducts such a test.

why i say so because my niece, who was suffering from almost similar

symptoms with similar gravity, kept seeing the doctors and nothing was

diagnosed except some infection in the liver.

she then did a lot of self study on the net and then suggested her doc

to check her blood for any kind of cancerous cells. it was only then

that they could find out that she had a kind of leukemia where her

white blood cell count had gone up by several lakhs. later her spleen,

and ovaries got badly damaged. BUT, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW

THAT SHE IS MUCH MUCH BETTER NOW AND IS ON HER PATH TO RECOVERY.

what we need is correct diagnosis.

 

i think it is always better to get a test done in time...even though

one has a firm belief that one is not suffering from anything of that

sort.

 

WISHING YOU ALL OF ALMIGHTY'S LOVE AND BLESSINGS

pari

Wednesday, July 30, 2008, 11:09 AM

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thankyou so much if you read this and can offer any suggestions, I

just keep getting sicker, getting more pain and symptoms through my

digestive tract, getting more nauseous... It just keeps getting worse

and has been ever since it all started with occasianal mild nausea

two years ago. Over the two years since, i've been prescribed Nexium

(stomach acid-lowering drug), antibiotics, antidepressants (didn't

take them), other antacids (didn't take them) etcetc... most doctors

tell me to exercise more, or take reflux drugs that just make me feel

crapper).

 

Again, thankyou.

 

Another system recently got added to my (extnesive list). I woke up 2

weeks ago barely able to move because of the intense aching/ cramping

pain in my lower back and bowel/ abdomen/ stomach. I can't find a

reason for this (I only got my period two days ago, whereas that

happened two weeks ago...). Ever since then I seem to be in almost

constant moderate pain through said area, though also including

aching in upper back. Sometimes the pain fades back to being only

mild, other times it's more intense and accomapnied by increased

nausea...I'm a 50kg 20 year old female who eats only a little red

meat, eats tuna with vegies/ brown rice often instead, or salad

vegies. I just stopped taking colloidal silver (only took 2

tablespoons approx daily for 3 weeks), uva ursi (440mg tablet twice

daily), citrus seed extract (10 drops twice daily) and gastrocare

excel (a bovine colostrum powder, taken in room-temperature water

twice daily). These were suggested by a GP who also does natural

medicine (though i'm not sure if she's actually trained in it) who

was the one who sent me off to get the live-blood cell microscopy and

diagnosed candida and leaky gut syndrome (see symptom list below). I

only drink water- no soft-drinks except a RARE energy drink to combat

extreme exhaustion, and eat healthy lunches and dinners (including

fruit and wheat/ gluten products), though I have a lot of sugar

cravings and just WANT (and do) snack on sugary foods despite being

physically full of food, will still want sugar foods. That said, for

the past month or two I've been on (and off) a wheat free, dairy free

diet with very little fruit and red meat, and trying to cut out all

sugars. (I do sometimes eat natural yoghurt). For the past two weeks

I've been eating NO wheat (as suggested by my naturopath) and found

no difference. I have not taken the GP's products for over 2 weeks.

 

I now only see a naturopath, and am on 1 teaspoon of sea minerals

every night (supposedly with food though it doesn't happen), half a

tab of wormwood twice a day and 1 tab of potassium twice a day. The

sea minerals seem to cause diarhoea.

 

Symptoms (these started off as mild occasional nausea and heartburn

two years ago. there has been a definate and undeniable downhill

slope to the symptoms you see below. The constant abdominal pain is

the altest symptom, and I'm scared of what the next lot of symptoms

will be if it doesn't get better NOW)

*greasy, oily skin and hair

*acne breakouts

*reflux and heartburn

*vague headaches (often daily), occasiaonal dizziness or feeling of

spaciness

*fatigue, tiredness, lack of concentration

*general illness if i get even a just a bit too little sleep (it

happens, nothing you can do to stop nights where you just don't sleep

enough)

*depressed moods that are uncharacteristic to my personality

*random shooting pains in my skin (as if the nerves have been shocked)

*join and muscle pains for no reason. general feeling of not being as

strong as i used to be, or as i should be. (have trouble lifting

things i used to easily lift)

*nausea everyday, somedays worse than others

*every couple of months or even every few weeks, i get a lot sicker

(shaky, weak, exhausted, dizzy and fuzzy-headed, very nauseous and

sick, shortness of breath, hot flushing). these symptoms often come

on over a day or two, then fade back after maybe 3 weeks or so. They

have nothing to do with my periods.

* " waves " of illness (weeks of all these symptoms listed on this page

followed a by a 'slip' into the intense bad symptoms listed in the

point above PLUS all the other symptoms intensified. after a few

weeks it will fade back into my " normal " state of illness).

*PMS symptoms, irregular periods, brown bleeding (only red sometimes,

maybe at the start for a day or two, sometimes not at all in a cycle))

*occasional vaginal/ urinary infections i can't find any reason for

*stomach and abdominal pains (usually a dull, aching/ cramping)

*Sometimes have diarhoea (preceded by up to an hour of bad cramping

and nausea). this may happen 1-3 times on days diarhoea happens.

*Sometimes normal bowels (preceded by a lot of gas) 1-2 times on

these days

*niggling under breastbone (entrance to stomach)

*Heartburn.

*my skin looks stressed- i'm 20 and yet have lines on my forehead,

bags under my eyes, a few little tiny fat deposits in my neck (and

one on my face- lanced by a beauty therapist), blackheads on my neck

(agian, treated by the beauty therapist), and occasiaonlly i get huge

swollen red pimples on the back of my neck.

*eyebrows are thinning at the outer edges, my nails break easily,

though no thyroid problem has been found (by doctors at least)

*Bad circulation (cold hands and feet)

*Can never seem to eat much at night or in morning (especially

morning, when I just wake up feeling... wrong... and if i eat, i feel

*dehydrated skin, though i do make sure to drink lots of water.

*(will get up 2-3 times a night to urinate, and will urinate several

times in the early morning, usually even every hour or so until mid-

day, when it becomes more normal)

 

Medical findings:

The only medical condition they've found through a gastroscopy, and

absominal and pelvic ultrasounds are:

gastritis of the lower stomach (MILD gastritis they said)

Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome.

Abnormal pap smear (HPV virus and thrush, though after thrush

treatment it was followed by a normal pap smear)

I suspected herpes two years ago after a series of recurrent vaginal

infections involving burning, itching, that would get slightly easier

every time i suffered an attack. I had tests for STDs and pap smears,

and found nothing. **Until two weeks ago**, i didn't suffer another

attack after the thrush treatment, so assumed it was thrush.

 

Other tests/ findings:

Also had a live-blood cell microscopy, which found omega

deficiencies, and bacteria (Candida)

Candida/ yeast/ bacterial infection

Higher than normal cortisol levels, throughout the day (a little

higher than usual) but mostly in mornings (a lot higher than normal)

(this was tested via saliva testing)

 

My naturopath thinks it is all caused by stress i suffered 2 years

ago (final year of school, trying to get into unis, all kinds of shit

going on. every exam i had, i got ill in the middle of and had to

leave.) I have always gotten nauseous when stressed, ever since my

mid-teens. He thinks this has caused numerous vitamin and mineral

deficiencies and the Candida.

 

Basically i would like any other opinions that anyone could offer.

I'm getting massively desperate here and losing all hope of ever

getting better. (Really. I have no optimism left. I can barely even

attend university or work anymore, it's a struggle to go...)

Endless thanks for your time and help, it's MASSIVELY appreciated.

Yours in gratitude,

Allison

One word-Reiki. Find a practioner and start going. Also find a masage therapist.

A good massage I think will help.Yoga is good for stretching and relieving pain

as well. Do you take probiotcs? I've heard they are outstanding for all kinds of

ailments. I personally have started eating yogurt every day for the probiotics.

I can tell that dairy and wheat are a problem for me, as is sugar but I crave

and eat them anyway which continues any digestive issues. Is that the case with

you as well? Is there an oil or an obscure ingredient that is common in a lot of

your foods? For instance, I get a rash upon consuming various kinds of

oils.Maybe you need a food intolerance test(Igg blood test). It is hard to get a

regular MD to authorize them but it's worth a shot. I would quit taking all

those supplements unless YOU research them yourself. They may be doing more harm

than good. Maybe take one at a time to see reactions. Did anything else happen

two years ago?

Break up, family fights, etc. Maybe you need some healing in other parts of

your self. Just some suggestions. I am not a Dr. of any kind. I just want to try

to help.

Hello Allison,

 

It sounds like your physical system is very out of balance. I had a

year of symptoms that were severe because no one could diagnose

them. It can be very frustrating when physicians say nothing is

wrong or something minor is the problem, when you know in your heart

this is not true.

 

Not all medical problems present exactly the same for each person.

My presenting problems did not match the norm. I had a gallbladder

that was not functioning properly but no one could diagnosis it

because of my other problems. For example, I would have an Asthma

attack every time I had a gallbladder attack.

 

So once a month, I'd be in the emergency room not breathing well and

unable to move. It made things difficult for those diagnosing. Of

course you treat the Asthma first to continue to breath. The fact

that I could not walk was also incidental with breathing problems.

 

So what I'm suggesting is that you might have more than one problem

and one is masking the underlying one. I'd have every test possible

to determine your problem. I'd also avoid taking anything that might

mask your true symptoms and the actual cause of the inbalance.

 

Sending you love and light...

We need to determine the cause of your illnesses, for example did you

move 2 years ago or did anything change - environmentally or otherwise

that could have triggered this? Also, could you possibly get a hair

analysis test done? Have you done any detoxes of any kind, or chelation

therapy? Don't give up and be sure to ask for help from your higher

power.

 

Love and Light,

Rox

Hello Allison,

If we all had a complete physical examination from head to toe we would all

come up with multiple deficiencies and minor problems which on their own do

not affect our daily lives. Unfortunately though they do confuse finding the

underlying problem if anything out of the realms of " normal " starts to make

us seriously unwell.

Someone suggested homeopathy, I think this is your best option at the moment

to check for chemical poisoning or major allergies. Find a Homeopath who

practises muscle testing for these conditions.

Try to deal with one issue at a time, write down all of your symptoms

physically, emotionally and environmentally, and then put them into order of

importance. Then into two lists; first which problems you can solve

yourself, secondly the issues you need to have help with. I can feel your

feeling of hopelessness but one step at a time is going to be easier than a

huge leap! It has taken a long time to get to your present state of

" unwellness " and I think it is going to take just as long to fully recover

but seeking advice and taking control is a positive step and I wish you well

in your recovery. Suzie

assumed i was ok..... ok, i'll get this done.

Have they (or you) looked at fibromyalgia, or those that are similar

to it?

 

Couple quick links I googled:

Have you checked for Lyme disease?

 

I had a friend who had all sorts of strange stuff which no one

could diagnose.

 

Finally someone remember to check her for Lyme. Bingo!

 

She is all well now.

 

Just a thought

 

 

 

Dr. Maria Eugenia Moratto

 

I have all the answers.

 

Are you going to ask your questions or not?

Dear Allison,

There is always a huge connection between the emotions and the gut.

We don't talk about " gut feelings " for nothing! Since you have tried

so many remedies, so far to no avail, why not start at the other end

for a change and use the mind?

 

Emotional Freedom Technique is literally free at your fingertips and

can be used along with anything else. Please try it, you have nothing

to lose.

 

http://www.emofree.com/a/?875/1

takes you to the free starter kit.

 

There is also a Powerpoint Presentation in the files of this group

that makes it easy to learn.

 

If you are so exhausted mentally that you can't formulate your own

problems clearly (candida mind-fog is horrendous!)you might try

the video " Borrowing benefits " , and just tap along. Read about it on

the site.

 

Candida/leaky gut can affect every organ in the body, so your first

line of health building must be healing the gut.

I simply know no better gut healing herbs than the rainforest

miracles Sangre de Drago and Una de Gato. Down in the hot wet jungle

you either learn to fight fungus or you turn into one. The ability

of Sangre de Drago to speed up tissue healing continues to amaze me.

 

This is one product that will always have a place in my home as an

all-over one ounce first aid kit.

 

ENZYMES taken between meals and with meals can help to cleanse the

blood and get circulating immune complexes out of the way.

A wonderful site on enzymes in general is: http://enzymestuff.com

 

That's my 2 cents for this time...

 

Good luck!

Hi Alison,

 

Regular deep relaxation and re-connecting with your life energy

sources could be the answer.

Yeah, I had my last year of highschool (very stressful) plus heaps

of personal stuff go wrong amongst family/ friends. Very bad year.

So I imagine it would be all the stress of that year causing maybe

mineral/ vitamin deficinecies, and them snowballing into well.. this

(it's nearly 3 years on now). But HEAPs of people are stressed- how

come I get this sick when doctors, lawyers, people in financial

difficulty etc- they stay well?

 

Thanks, didn't think of hair analysis.

I believe the half tab of wormwood is for parasites (if i have

any)... i think the low does is so i DON'T get overloaded... (also

on sea minerals and potassium. WIll also prob start taking B

vitamins with zinc/ vit c or magnesium (they have specific stress

formulas containing all these though.. are supplements even any good

though? i hear so many differing accounts...)

 

Thanks

I understand the way you use worm wood is one month out of the year;

you don't use wormwood every day; can actually cause fatigue !

 

Garlic is a natural remedy for parasites; so is THYME HERB; use daily;

 

of couse supplements are good ! You will feel better ! Sea Minerals

are excellent; I would get the B-Complex formula with the Magneiusm

because Magensium is a co factor (helper) for the B-Vitamins;

 

stay far away from Zinc; highly irritating to tummy in my experience;

 

besides; Zinc is abundant in most foods; but B-Vits. are often milled

out or refined; so supplementing w/ B Vits. good; add the single Vit.C
