Jason, I hate to see all the pain you are going through. I am hoping I can offer a little help. http://www.johnleemd.com/ Dr. John Lee identified over 15 years ago a hormonal imbalance in most people in the industrial world. He was suffering from many symptoms and through his research uncovered a HUGE problem. Due to an over abundance of petroleum based products in our lives, our bodies become estrogen dominant. Petroleum based products can be plastics, fertilizers, additives to food etc. Estrogen dominance is characterized by many of your symptoms. When you related low libido, that sent up a big flag for me. Prolonged Estrogen Dominance can lead to Fibromyalgia or a breaking down of the lining surrounding the nerves resulting in lots of pain. Estrogen dominance can also lead to fuzzy headedness or not being able to think clearly, forgetfulness, ADD etc. Be aware that if you decide to use a natural progesterone cream that the first month your symptoms will get worse. Then after your body is able to balance itself the symptoms can vanish. The dark circles under the eyes could indicate allergies. A good allergist can identify what allergies you do have if any. If the body is constantly having to fight off the effects of food you are allergic to, that would lead to a lowered or compromised immune system. I wish you well!
Lori -----Original Message----- From: ..::( Jason )::.. [mailto:[email protected]] Greetings... The closest thing I can come to is either Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue, or Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Candida, and ??? Seems like I may have a lot of different things going on, but I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY BODY JUST WONT **HEAL** LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO!!!! :-( MUSCLE PAIN / WEAKNESS: My muscles hurt when I use them, specifically my shoulders, neck and arms. And I am talking about light use - like reading some magazines or driving for 30 min. I was in some fairly severe rear-ending car accidents in my earlier years, so theoretically this could be causing some of my muscle pain/weakness all these years later? Myofascial Pain Syndrome? Fibromyalgia? ENERGY: My energy levels are also at an all time low - it is as if my "chi" or life force is just COMPLETELY DRAINED. Hard to describe, but my "life energy" feels like it is not even there at all. No excitement, no happiness, no creative drive, no ANYTHING. I feel like a walking husk, like everything has just gone flat line. Is this what Chronic Fatigue feels like? ANXIETY: I have a LOT of anxiety that appears to come from a biochemical / biological level. In other words, I don't get all worked up about something and thus experience anxiety. Quite the opposite: it's a nice day, I am in a good mood, yet I have twisting, nervous anxiety running through my system. Frustrating and hard to deal with to say the least. LIBIDO: My libido has never been so low in my life - it as if it is non-existent. BRAIN FOG: When I eat sugars or alcohol, I get the dreaded brain fog that Candida and Fibromyalgia sufferers experience. This leads me to think that I have Candida at a bare minimum. DARK CIRCLES UNDER EYES: These vary in intensity, but are always there to the point that people often comment with things like "wow, you look tired!" or "wow, you look terrible! Get some sleep!" etc etc etc. and it is not only very frustrating, but also very embarrassing and self-esteem sapping. WHEAT SENSITIVITY: When I eat wheat (like the amount in an order of tempura shrimp), I get upper extremity muscle pain, and very uncomfortable anxiety that almost seems to come from a nervous system level. Hard to explain but it as if someone is sticking a fork in my whole nervous system and just twisting. Very uncomfortable, and usually is accompanied by stomach upset/nausea. ALLERGIES / CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES: I am sensitive to many fragrances, detergents, etc so avoid all those, but also have problems with dust mites, diesel smoke, etc. If I eat food that was wrapped in certain types of Saran (PVC) wrap, I break out in hives. This was recently discovered to be a sensitivity to phthalates which are chemicals put into some plastics to soften them. See http://www.calisafe.org/_disc1/00000066.htm and http://www.jobwerx.com/news/Archives/plastics_biz-id=947140_529.html for more info on phthalates. _jason_ _________ ________ _______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ _ _ -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
