Endless symptoms, getting worse, please help....

[Guest guest]

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

much worse)

*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

Allison,

 

I didn't see you mention homeopathics?  Have you any good homeopaths in your

area?

Hi Allison!

 

I am new to the group so I don't know what you are suffering from. Could you

please tell me? There are many alternative healing modalities you can benefit

from regardless of what the problem is. I myself am a Usai Reiki Master.

Get your hands on a bottle of bioplasma. Hylands makes one. It

costs about $15 for a bottle. Go to their website or buy it at a

local health-food/natural-food store.

Why not try Aloe Vera products? I hear they are wonderful.

I am a lay person to health care, however have done some extensive research in

this area over the past few years.  I found for myself that a radical change in

diet brought about healing in many physical as well as mental problems.

 

Currently I am involved in retooling my kitchen to eliminate cooked food, going

raw basically.  Prior to this I have followed Dr. Joe Mercola's recommended

diet.  Research eating raw and I think, unless you have already gone this route,

you could naturally allow your body to do the healing for you.  Start with you

tube and search various interests surrounding eating raw foods.

 

If more specific information is needed, I would be glad to elaborate.

 

Thanks
