I've been really ill for about a year. I'm talking bedridden-ish ill. I had quite a few neurological symptoms starting in November last year, followed by paresthesias, Lhermittes sign, and stomach problems that would not quit. It seemed like every system on my body just went insane. By around march I had gone back to my parents house where all I did for about three months was nurse a sudden bout of IBS, muscle weakness, shaking, endless weird nerve symptoms and I still can't sit up for longer than ten minutes without feeling like my back isn't strong enough to hold me up.
So I've cut out gluten completely, gone back and forth regarding starches, eaten a TON of plain kerrygold butter for reasons I can't explain, it just tasted good, added pregnenolone, a crapton of b vitamins, more calcium, animal protein, sometimes double multiple vitamins, aspirin and sublingual b12. I just keep working on this hoping for some kind of relief. Lately I've thought I had a copper deficiency so I started just yesterday working on that even though there is a substantial amount of copper in my multiple vitamin.
But here is something interesting. I am about to turn 51 years old. A year ago given the hotflashes I was experiencing and the fact that my periods had stopped, I thought I was at menopause and that was potentially why i was starting to feel so odd. But suddenly, after nearly complete rest, surplus calories and vigorous supplementation -- I got my periods back. The first time it happened i thought it was a fluke, but it keeps showing up so i think that must mean my periods stopped because of malnutrition and not "the change." It's a very Peat development.
