With a little gentle nudging from those close to me (you know who you
are...) I went to my Doctor today and boy did I get an earfull. He
requested the following tests: (poss gluten - poss parasites - poss
glandular something - who knows what else)
Blood work:

Short summary - diarrhea as long as I can remember since early teens

years old- when this might have begun). Cronic Fatique - Fibromyalgia - TMJ
- Arthritis in my back - joint pain - severe sleep apnea (200 events an hour
- 40 seconds of holding breath) - carpel tunnel - Irritable Bowel Syndrome -
Systemic Candida - Leaky Gut - Severe alergies - urethra closed up at one
time resulting in urine not exiting properly - cronic infections - repeated
antibiotics - lactose intolerant - gluten intolerant - prone to cysts and
boils - cronic vaginal yeast infections - rectal itching - cronic cronic

muscle tone - obese - crave sugar and fats (protein?) and yeasts - X ray
treatments at 2 weeks old for enlarged thymus - severe ear ringing -

Mothers' history - MS - bedridden - diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic (prob
sp) - bowel obstructions and colostomy...1st cousin diagnosed gluten
intolerant as a child went gluten free for a few years normal now (maybe...).
So if you got this far...I'm really cute...have a great personality and am
not nearly as bad as this sounds. And a result of many nutritional changes
many of these mentioned above are a thing of the past. I am now putting
things together that were "normalized" before. And I'm putting this out
there for any feedback and/or suggestions about something that might have
resonated with your experiences or knowledge. If there is some component we
might be missing please get back with me - or if you have any insight on
something else that we might look at or do please feel free to write!
I am so incredibly grateful for this list - the encouragement, support and
information I get from all of you - for myself as well as my family. And
the delightful connections I have made as a result. That's what life is
really about - being connected...
Thanks again!
Amy
still in you know where...
