I am in need of help! I am 37 years old. I have always been in okay health aside from crohns disease. I did VSL 3 probiotic for the crohns in march and my symptoms got worse. Then by the end of march I was hospitalized with pericarditis. I am sure it was from the probiotics.
After the pericarditis cleared I had to have 3 teeth removed from the back of my mouth. One of the teeth the dentist had trouble getting out and I heard the drill. I got nervous b/c I knew there was mercury in the tooth but it was too late! That was april.
I had another crohns flare and decided to try the probiotics again. BIG mistake. Then suddenly my hair began to come out excessively and I had a terrible headache.
Then in september I started having a terrible headache over my left eye.
I noticed some tingling around my whole head shortly after that came and went for a day. Then i was very lightheaded and dizzy at times. I also had an increase in memory problems.
Around the same time, in august, I had a couple weeks of VERY excessive cervical fluid. Clear, odorless. I have not had my period since.
I am also having kidney pain that comes and goes which started around the same time.
Constipation that comes and goes.
Always cold!
I had a couple weeks of horrible burning pain on the top of my head. It is now a mild burning sensation that comes and goes.
My hair has been consistently falling out for 5 months.
I had a couple weeks last month where I would get waves of dizziness that would come over me. I cant even explain the experience other than I felt like I was going to pass out. Felt maybe hypoglycemic but eating didnt really help as much as I thought it would.
I have had a ton of blood work. At one point my prolactin level was 58. They thought I had a pituitary tumor. But the level went back down to normal. My T3 was low at one point but now it is normal. My ferritin is 20 which they thought might be the culprit but who knows. Otherwise, they say my blood work is within normal limits. Although everything is LOW.
I am seeing a homeopath/acupuncturist 2x per week.
I am on a diet of protein, fat, and veggies. Nothing else. No grains, sugar, fruit.
I am wondering if it is mercury/paracites/adrenal fatigue?
look here for your head problems. See if anything matches the areas where you are getting pain in your head. THREE teeth pulled in the back of your mouth? yikes. It sounds very typical of a mouth, head, neck occiput forced injury. The rest, the people here will help you with. let the link load http://www.round-earth.com/HeadPainIntro.html
I think you definitely have mercury toxicity. Here is a link to a lady's blog that has had success chelating mercury and a link to what she suggests for a hair analysis. I suggest that you read all of the heavy metal related posts.
I have no experience with her hair analysis myself, but I have done the one from Analytical Research Labs and was very impressed by it.
Have you done a stool analysis for your chron's? The one that I just got includes a parasite section.
As far as adrenal fatigue goes, are you tired? Do you have heart palps? Anxiety? Trouble sleeping? Hypoglycemia? Excessive thirst?
You definitely have a few symptoms of low thyroid, which is generally indicative of low adrenal functioning, but not an absolute without at least some of the above mentioned criteria.
I have not done any stool samples yet. But I plan on getting one done. Do you recommendI had guardia when I was 17. About three months before I was diagnosed with the crohns. I kept telling the doctors I had guardia but the told me I was crazy and it was not related. They also told me that diet was irrelevant. That is why I decided to become an acupuncturist. Over the years I have tried many diets, acupuncture, supplements. Nothing has worked. Recently the crohns has a little better but now I have all this other stuff going on. It is very stressful because I have a wonderful practice that I LOVE, a sweet little boy that I homeschool and I run my husbands business. I have a lot going on, and then I am stuck in bed for 3 days because the room is spinning and I have to cancel my patients, and sit my son in front of the TV for 4 hours because I cant get him to his classes or take him on playdates. I just want to get better. Sorry to go on and on. But from January 1, 2010 it was just one thing after another and I am ready to put this all behind me and get my life back. Any guidance is so appreciated. Do you recommend Genova lab? What kind of stool sample should i get?
I am in NYC. Is there a doctor that would do these tests or do I need to send away for them myself. I cant seem to find a good naturalpath here in NYC. I would be willing to leave the state if I have to in order to find a good physican. I could go anywhere within 3 - 4 hours.
Your problem must surely be parasitic? With your reaction to probiotics. I am only saying this from my own experience. I got a lot of help and information from http://www.badbugs.org.
Also, what about Doctor Biamonte in New York? I know he is very expensive but his protocol is interesting and alot of what he says on his web site makes sense.
I know this post is old but if you haven't found a good M.D./ Naturopath in NYC i'd recommend Dr. Hoffman in Manhattan. He's great. He implements mostly alternative with conventional.
