27th December 2006
I have been sick for the past four years and have been to eight doctors all of whom are in the dark as to what is going on with my body. When I originally became ill, I lost weight, had sinus problems, and had a chronic cough. However, as time went by, each and every one of my body systems either shut down or became affected which makes me wonder how I am still alive. I have taken numerous tests which include,
blood work-all came back normal except low testosterone
a metabolic analysis profile by Great Smokies-which showed serious malabsorption
Pesticide test by Accuchem-which showed DDE
Several toxic metal tests which showed-high levels of many elements.
Neurotransmitter tests by Neuroscience-which showed low levels of serotonin, dopamine, and pea.
Bone density scan-which showed osteoporosis.
I am also waiting for the results of the MRI's and other specific blood work.
Currently I have all of the following symptoms, which seem to get worse as the days go by.
Weight-went from 191 to 112 at one point.
Muscle wasting-inability to gain muscle.
Head-headaches on all sides of my head, that last for the greater part of the day. Feels almost as if someone has rewired my brain due to the way my head feels. This makes it difficult to rest my head against my pillow or other head rests such as in the car or on the couch. Sometimes my head feels heavy, while at other times my head feels light. It also feels like it will explode at any minute. The left side of my head will turn red if I touch the area next to my eye, but the right side won’t.
Poor Concentration-This also includes the inability to process new information. I will have to read sentences over many times until I can comprehend the material. Lots of daydreaming while reading as well. My eyes will often become fixated on things around the room such as lights, objects close to lights, objects which are attached to the ceiling, such as a fan, and the line which separates the wall from the ceiling, all of which distract me from concentrating or focusing.
Vision-loss of eyesight which includes blurry vision, seeing double, and seeing black spots. Twitching of the right eyelid.
Neurological-Tremors, twitches, ticks, and convulsions of the neck, head, face, shoulders, elbows, stomach, legs, feet, hands, and fingers including many bad habits with all of the above. Always struggling to feel comfortable. Very hard to sit still. I have to keep repositioning my clothes and my feet inside my shoes. Walking has become difficult as I am not able to have fluid movements with my feet. Lots of pacing. I have to continuously wash my hands, keep doors closed, check and count things, and be extremely neat. All objects that are on my right side and behind me feel strange as if they have movement and are alive, which makes me feel the need to touch, change, or reposition them.

Energy- Exhaustion all day long. I constantly feel as if my body is being crushed, like I’m drowning and suffocating. When I complete my first set at the beginning of a workout, I feel as if I cannot continue. I usually have to take long breaks in between sets.
Constant sighing in fast repetitions over and over.
Immune-getting sick including catching colds and having flu like symptoms. I keep getting ingrown toe nails.
Sinus-chronic sinus problems which includes sneezing, running nose, and pain.
Chronic cough
Bone aches-You can hear all my joints and bones crack such as in my neck, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. Spinal cord pain. The back of my neck feels and sounds broken due to the constant whiplash motion that keeps occurring.
Muscle aches and pains all over my body.
Cavities and Gums-tooth pain and sensitivity. My teeth are very soft. Last two dentist visits totaled eighteen cavities.
Pale and clammy skin
Bladder-urination between twenty and thirty times per day-usually followed by being cold.
Bowel movements between six and ten times per day-usually followed by being cold. Lots of diarrhea as well. Immediately after eating or consuming liquid, I have to eliminate.
Kidney pain
Sporadic rib pain, which feels as if my ribs are broken.
Periodic chest pains.
Occasional bleeding from the anus, mouth, nose, and ears.
Sleep-insomnia accompanied by the inability to get into a deep sleep. When I do get into a deep sleep however, I have lots of nightmares.
Temperature-cold spells followed by heat intolerance.
Appetite loss and nausea.
Low libido
Dizziness when standing up.
Hands-will turn dark orange, usually after washing, but at other times as well.
Brittle nails
Body Odor
Bad breadth
A white crust will form around the corners of my lips.
Dandruff
Hair has receded.
I am currently on cortisol, armour thyroid, iodine, nystatin, and acidopholus.
Could someone PLEASE give me some insight as to what I should do. Thanks.
