My problems started with abdominal pain, few weeks ago pain isn't bad, but now i'm having lots of pressure deep in head an forehead, sinus troubles, an lots of pressure at brain stem?
I keep having scary thoughts, irrational thoughts, memory problems, i feel like there is no world outside the room i'm in. i'm forgetting what people mean to me, forgetting who i am. Losing my mind, i'm having insomnia, digestion problems. I cant take probiotics or enzymes they give me severe reactions with sensation in limbs an panic attack and extreme itching an insomnia.
I feel i'm overloaded, somethings squeezing my brain stem, i feel the walls closing in around me.
I've been trying to alkanize my diet, i eat some coconut oil everyday for fat, i eat mainly veggies, i have a little oatmeal with BSM an a little turkey for protein. I take alkaline baths, oil pulling.
Trying to alkanize my head. it feels like sometihng is putting massive pressure on my spine/brain. But the pressure moves around sometimes up the forehead or behind nose etc...
I feel i'll die soon, i'm at a loss. I just ordered MMS incase its a brain parasite.
I tried ornithine incase its ammonia...but i cant get the aspartic acid anywhere around here.
My memory is worst, my perception of time is skewed, i get spells where i totally lose control an forget who an where i am. I'm losing my mind. I feel like I need something, yet i have no idea what! i wish i could do some biofeedback an just have it tell me what i need.
Please any ideas? I don't know what to do. something is taking over my mind, maybe a deficiency? parasite? bacteri? this pressure is driving me mad.
They want to admit me to a hospital, but i know convential medicine will kill me. I had a CT scan there was no sinus inflammation thats what i thought it was.
I feel something messing with my emotions an thoughts. It keeps making me feel like laughing, then I'm normal then I cry. I feel like running an seizuring. Like just moving really bad. I'll almost feel fine one minute. Then my memory clicks back out an I remember I'm not ok the. I feel like crying, then I get really scared. Then I feel like smiling an laughing. Something is trying to control my body an mind.
I did a visual contrast neuro toxin test earlier cause I though ammonia was givin me insomnia. But it was negative, an ornithine doesn't help me sleep?
Somethings wrong I need immediate help an ER wont help u guys gotta help please.
I feel like I'm SKIPPING along reality, like one second I realize I'm here then I'm gone again. Like I'm running on 1 frame per second instead of 25
How do I get the parasites outta my head, or whatever it is. Maybe it's just acidic fluid . But il doing oil pulling an peroxide swishes. Try to rebound but in too weak.
I feel I'm missin something, what if this pressure at my brain stem is so
Something serious, or what of it's a parasite, I'm trying to figure it out.
If I were you and I had any chance at insurance, I'd get an MRI of your head/neck area to make sure there is no tumor or anything. Have your seen a conventional neurologist yet? All of the psychic tumult should be cause for concern. If conventional medicine fails, then you can go alternative here, but you're experiencing some serious sh*t, sounds like. Just my two cents.
Ya I dunno what to do. I'll ask bout an MRI. But if it was a tumor I dunno y it'd come an go. An y the pressure would move to forehead an nose thenback down. An post nasal drip.
Its ALOT of psychic problem. Feel I'm losing my mind honestly, like darkness is invading from every angle. Like demons? I'm praying to god to help me through this.
I wanna find one of those guys that can just hear my voice an expel demons from my body .
I'm freaking out i need help asap, Ibsen sick a while but just in the past couple weeks it's seemed to affect my brain an thinking
i went back an read alot of that, it makes alot of sense. i'm gonna get my doc to wean me off xanax an put me on valium to get off benzos completely.
i still believe i have some sort of parasites or other issues, but i think the benzo use is whats messing with me mentally soooo much.
my adrenal cortisol test wasnt that far off? but my sodium is usually very low. i'm gonna try an help my adrenals more an supplment with amino acids...actualyl im' gonnna do the metametrix organic acid test first.
The organic acids test sounds like a good idea to me. Might shed some light on what is going wrong with your neurotransmitters (other then benzo withdrawal).
As for the skull presure, are you sure you're not just experiencing bad tension headaches?
If you're in an incredibly bad way or possibly antioxidant depleted, I suggest you give MMS a miss. Stuff can be incredibly nasty if you're not feeling up to it.
I agree with the previous post. Go get an MRI of your head and neck. Rule that stuff out, then go from there. No one on here can properly diagnose you. You need some those tests. Go get checked in to the hospital or ER asap!
It could definitely be the xanax. I am on klonopin and it has ruined my life. I started with Ativan for 5 years and then I switched to klonopin. .5 used to get me through the day but now my body needs more and I'm not giving it more so I'm having all of these mental problems (short-term memory loss, DP/DR, panic attacks, etc). Benzos are only supposed to be used for a few weeks, not years.
I'm seeing a psychiatrist on Friday to discuss my options. It's going to be hell, but I know when my body is free of this drug things will improve. Maybe the same thing is happening to you. Your body wants more and you're not giving it more so you're having all of these withdrawal symptoms.
"Tolerance to many of the effects of benzodiazepines develops with regular use: the original dose of the drug has progressively less effect and a higher dose is required to obtain the original effect. This has often led doctors to increase the dosage in their prescriptions or to add another benzodiazepine so that some patients have ended up taking two benzodiazepines at once.
However, tolerance to the various actions of benzodiazepines develops at variable rates and to different degrees. Tolerance to the hypnotic effects develops rapidly and sleep recordings have shown that sleep patterns, including deep sleep (slow wave sleep) and dreaming (which are initially suppressed by benzodiazepines), return to pre-treatment levels after a few weeks of regular benzodiazepine use. Similarly, daytime users of the drugs for anxiety no longer feel sleepy after a few days.
Tolerance to the anxiolytic effects develops more slowly but there is little evidence that benzodiazepines retain their effectiveness after a few months. In fact long-term benzodiazepine use may even aggravate anxiety disorders. Many patients find that anxiety symptoms gradually increase over the years despite continuous benzodiazepine use, and panic attacks and agoraphobia may appear for the first time after years of chronic use. Such worsening of symptoms during long-term benzodiazepine use is probably due to the development of tolerance to the anxiolytic effects, so that "withdrawal" symptoms emerge even in the continued presence of the drugs. However, tolerance may not be complete and chronic users sometimes report continued efficacy, which may be partly due to suppression of withdrawal effects. Nevertheless, in most cases such symptoms gradually disappear after successful tapering and withdrawal of benzodiazepines.
Tolerance is a phenomenon that develops with many chronically used drugs (including alcohol, heroin and morphine and cannabis). The body responds to the continued presence of the drug with a series of adjustments that tend to overcome the drug effects. In the case of benzodiazepines, compensatory changes occur in the GABA and benzodiazepine receptors which become less responsive, so that the inhibitory actions of GABA and benzodiazepines are decreased. At the same time there are changes in the secondary systems controlled by GABA so that the activity of excitatory neurotransmitters tends to be restored. Tolerance to different effects of benzodiazepines may vary between individuals - probably as a result of differences in intrinsic neurological and chemical make-up which are reflected in personality characteristics and susceptibility to stress. The development of tolerance is one of the reasons people become dependent on benzodiazepines, and also sets the scene for the withdrawal syndrome, described in the next chapter."
I had the same sinus pressure/head pressure and it was really bad. I had annxiety at the same time and I thought I will die soon. Systemic antifungals (Itraconazole) and snorting nystatin powder were the answer for me. Dr Trowbridge told me it was yeast in my sinuses. 6 months of nystatin and itraconazole and it was gone. It took a long time for the medecine to work.
Jboy, I read the thread in the entirity that is showing in Barefooters' Library and a good portion of Uniquity's answer to a previous post of yours. Here's my conslusions:
1. Allopathic and holisitc messures don't mix unless you're using an intergrative doctor that KNOWS WHAT THE HECK THEY ARE DOING. Many herbs change the effects of Rx.
2. There are people here at curezone that have known me for 5 yrs now. They'd tell you if plzchuckle advides a doctor, she's SERIOUS. You need a holistic or intergrative doctor to get this mess all straightened out for you, and not just A doctor, but a GOOD doctor. I'd advise speaking with the employees in the supplement section at your local health food store for recommendations. They are the folks who put together seminars, etc and know the top holistic practitioners in your area.
3. STOP taking herbs until you can get weened off the Rx ... get off the meds under a doctors care/preferrably a holitic or intergrative doctor ... THEN begin to clean up your mess.
4. readReadREAD on holistic lifestyle, cleansing, diet, ingredient detecting, water, juicing, fasting and so-on. Make notes, be creating your own holistic lifestyle during the time it takes you to ween off the meds.
I'll try an find a good doc but that will still take time, I don't have time. I'm literally going crazy.
Ive been reading stuff for almost a year now! Trying different approaches, everyone gets in my head an says try this or try that. I dunno what to do anymore. MY MIND ISN'T RIGHT ANYMORE. Maybe it's my adrenals or maybe the Xanax maybe there is fungus in my sinus' it does feel like it.
Everyone makes me wait.... Well how do I know if it's fungus or worn in my sinus or head without treating it? I have some xlear I use it's a nasal spray with gse an xylitol. It helped with some of the upper pressure, but the lower pressures still there.
A month ago I used to be able to function an sleep at night. Then it went Downhill bout a month ago with the insomnia an panic.
Now when sleeping I get these jolts in my body that wake me up, I wake up paralyzed half awake half dreaming.
I want answers I dunno what to treat!
In doing alkaline diet, rebounding, detox baths, but I can't eat only veggies my body is anemic an malnourished . I can't have to much sugar cause it makes me itchy Maybe a parasite or candida .
I want to find a good doctor in Portland. Oregon. I have cigna insurance. I just dint have the will to search anymore, ive seen almost 20 doctors for this .
I always here about people finding that awesome doctor that just looks at them an knows what is Wrong.... Why can't I find a doc like that?
check this out, Skye Weintraub the parasite expert who practices in Eugene Oregon. She also does phone consults. I have her book, The Parasite Menace. I've also had email converstaions with her. She knows her stuff. Wish I would have lived in Oregon!!!!! She also can prescribe RX's. I talked to her.
I can't totally sympathize with what your going through, I've been sick for almost a year now (10 months at the moment). I got sick after returning from a trip to Peru and every day has been hell since then. I've gone through countless doctors and done many many tests and so far no luck. I suspect that the MRI in your case will also yield a negative result but give it a shot. When this first hit me I felt like I had a psychotic breakdown for 2 months (not fun), my symptoms included extreme restlessness, fatigue, weakness, feeling like I'm disconnected from reality, migraines, insomnia, total brain fog, air hunger, mood swings, panic attacks (only a few times fortunately) and the list goes on and on. It's worth noting that before all this, I was never sick, would never get so much as a headache. I've posted on cure zone and other sites looking for answers with little luck... So like you I started trying stuff out and seeing if it sticks, if any of my symptoms would get better. I did several months of antibiotics initially to treat Lyme (I tested positive according to Igenix) but I got very little relief from that. I did a Humaworm cleanse for suspected parasites and I definately killed off some stuff but my overall health was still shit. I stopped with the antibiotics and started heavy probiotics and thats when I noticed that my weakness had gone away (all my other symptoms where still there). After a couple of months of probiotics with most of my other symptoms still intact I did the triple drug therapy for Blasto from Badbugs.org ... This seemed to clear out most of my serious neuro symptoms, I still have them but they tend to be milder. In my particular case I get these periodic "attacks" that severly weaken my body and leave me very rundown, that's when all my neurological symptoms start up again until they slowly start to improve until my next attack. I believe that once I'm able to eliminate these attacks that my body will naturally find homeostasis again. As to whats causing these attacks I doubt it's any large parasite or Lyme for that matter. It could be a virus (doubtful), a ongoing bacterial infection (also doubtful considering the amount of antibiotics I've taken), a resistant microscopic parasite or systemic yeast. I had a gentleman on here look at my blood and he was able to culture yeast from it, so the current thinking is that it's systemic yeast that's causing my immune system to be over active every so often. I'm on herbal anti yeast medication at the moment and I plan on doing something more powerful in the near future. I've thought about anti psychotic medication but my issues really are biological and I don't want to run the risk of f***ing up my potential recovery these mind altering drugs. I'm officially done with doctors, they are fcking useless and they simply don't give a damm about your health. Take your health into your own hands and trust what your body has to say... I would explore anti yeast herbs in your case and see what happens... Read my old posts if you want know some of the shit I was and still am going through... Good luck man...
Yea I totally agree with everything. I think my elimination pathways ate backed up to, but I'm too fragile for Liver Flush so I'm gonna start taking lecithin 6 tbspn a day in lemon water. Hopefully it helps.
I think I got something systemic. Docs are a waste of my time, but I want answers!!
When I eat junk food my ph rises to over 8. Yet when I eat healthy it's acidic usually unless I'm taking minerals. Makes me think ok
Feeding something putting off ammonia which is alkaline?
I just took a couple ornithine an aspartate hopefully it helps. Gonna start my bowel cleanse an go from there.
