Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Dear all, I have been trying for some time to find what is wrong with me, and it is turning into one big wild goose chase. I have a great many symptoms, such as depression, mood swings, lack of concentration, lethargy etc. - all of which seem to be classic symptoms of just about every disorder known to man. None of the remedies I have tried so far seem to work - it's as though there's one crucial thing wrong with me that I haven't identified yet, which is stopping all my progress. Only I don't have the time, money or energy to go on using trial and error to find what it is. Can anyone suggest any disciplines that are useful for diagnosing such problems? I've tried iridology; as well as muscle testing for allergies/sensitivities and neither of those seemed to turn up anything useful. Any other ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hello friend ... I'll tell you what did some 14 aback (for what it's worth) for 5 days all I ate was apples, red ones, green ones,and yellow ones (you get the picture) All I drank was mineral water (this takes some doing) After a day or two of this regime one feels like ---- ! On the third day ya start to feel better. By the fifth day you feel on top of the world physically & mentally so obviously (in my case) some food items and caffeine were upsetting my equilibrium. I don't know your age or whether you are on meds or such like so this may not be for you. I found sugar to be my biggest enemy - followed by caffeine. I now follow a diabetic diet (I'm not diabetic) and see sugar as a poison ... yeah ok I do drink tea - I'm English god damn it, but it is pure Ceylon! Good luck! - Ray. p.s. you're on the right group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks for your reply Ray. A naturopath said I'm sensitive to sugar, wheat, coffee and yeast so I avoided all those for a while and it didn't help. Though avoiding sugar helps a little bit so I still do that (when I don't fall into temptation). Most likely I will have to avoid them all if I'm going to get better, but I think there is some other issue I'm missing which is stopping all progress. I was hoping someone would know of a discipline that's good for diagnosing these things. I heard iridology is good but all that turned up was that I have too much energy and I'm not using any of it (strange for a person who's always tired!) Oh well. The search continues.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 THis is about par for course with undiagnosed Lyme Disease. Most Dr's are too ignorant to recognize it, ditto for infectious disease ducks, get tested through Igenix labs, go on a detox BEFORE you take any antibiotics,etc. , " andrewjprowse " <andrewjprowse wrote: > > Dear all, > > I have been trying for some time to find what is wrong with me, and it > is turning into one big wild goose chase.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 From your post ..is it possible that it could be Candida that is your problem? Have you been tested for that or tried to do a yeast cleanse kit?? the other thing that comes to mind is hypothyroidism or hypoglycemia??

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks both for your replies. Lyme disease does share some of my symptoms, (like I said, everything does ) but I read a full description and I don't think it matches me that closely. I got a fasting glucose test done by my regular doctor (for what that's worth) and according to that my thyroid is supposedly OK. Blood sugar must have something to do with it though - I feel 'unreal'/foggy-headed all the time and it gets much worse if I eat sugar or refined grains - though it does seem to get worse if I eat ANYTHING, so maybe I have some sort of reactive hypo/hyperglycaemia. Whichever one makes you super skinny (I couldn't put on weight if I tried!) How does one get tested for that? Or for candida? I did consider candida as well but don't know how to get tested for it. That's another possibility that I'll have to look into I guess. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Please explain what you mean by infectious disease ducks.
