What you are describing sounds like fibrosis. Have you ever had an injury, vaccine injury, MRI contrast dye injection or medication or supplement that could have triggered your condition. Just a thought.

Yes, if it were more progressive it would make the idea that it's due to a deficiency or a chronic infection spreading maybe more likely.
But when I think about it more generally, some people who are sick for example with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seem to get sick almost overnight with dramatic consequences (by the way they also have water homeostasis issues if I'm not mistaken). Yet I'm almost sure that there was an underlying issue and maybe an infection that is the straw that broke the camel's back. Their immune system was probably greatly impaired to begin with.
Maybe your fast was too much and you got an infection that disturbed your water metabolism somehow.
Do you know if you case is rather rare?
I suggested fibrosis because the condition you describe sounds like an autoimmune reaction to something such as an injury which can’t heal or a toxin. In such a situation the circulation and energy production could be compromised. Just speculation, forgive me if I am wrong.Like Fibrosis? In what way? Unless you were responding to someone else in the thread.
I've had many injuries and some hit to the head through idiotic fighting in my younger years and a car crash but no anywhere near the start of symptoms. Never had MRI with contrast. Always refused contrast in fact. Medication and supplements, I've taken a lot so it would be near impossible to say. The only thing I can say I was taking that would be a strong medication near the time when this started was Clonazepam due to panic attacks and anxiety. I no longer take it.
Similar problems I have with you are dehydration, I excrete water quickly after ingestion, mostly excrete more than consume, chronic prostatitis (doesn´t go away no matter what, I know several ways how to make it worse), slightly elevated creatinine, fatigue. I also have a lot of muscle problems. I think my problem with holding water in is caused by a low metabolic state, low thyroid, high estrogen. Only thing that helped with dehydration was Tyronene, but that caused eye pain as well. I don´t know how much you have looked into the liver, maybe it can´t detox estrogen and other stuff, puts the kidneys under pressure, inhibits thyroid.
Also there could be multiple causes for prostatitis, that shouldn´t be ruled out, I am quite certain the problem is systemic as well.
Don´t rule out a physical injury. The timing doesn´t have to match. My deviated septum causes several systemic problems, I am certain of it. Maybe it directly influences the pituitary, maybe even thyroid. This swallowing problem could be due to an injury to a structure closeby, that seemingly doesn´t relate. I am also pretty certain the deviated septum influences the prostate, due to it´s influence on the spine and fascia. The fascia and other connective tissues literally connect everything. In my case from way up in the spetum to the prostate, it certainly is so. There could also be mechanical effects on the liver and on the intestine. I haven´t read this entire thread so don´t know whether you have investigated your liver. But about the physical injuries, do you have anything permanent? If you don´t know whether you have any, I would suggest finding out. And remember, damage to a structure might need years to manifest in a disease, so if a timing of an injury doesn´t match, it doesn´t mean it isn´t a factor.
Also I remember Joe Rogan´s podcast with Cat Zingano, who had a damaging fight, head injury that resulted in thyroid and pituitary problems.
Goat milkSo, I'm cutting out all grains and starchy carbs. Today's food consisted of Breakfast: omelete with veg - red pepper & onion. Lunch: Corned beef and a couple of apples. Dinner: Pork with green leaf salad, with a little apple cider vinegar. A couple of cups of orange juice here and there.
I'd like to drink milk but I think I also have a slight intolerance to dairy. Not sure there's anything I can do about these but limits the food I can have when I'm avoiding gluten and dairy. Any other drink recommendations? I am so thirsty and dehydrated but I don't think drinking litres and litres of fruit juice would be wise and water just dehydrates me further.
I will see how I go with the dietary changes. I'm wondering if there's anything more specific I can do aimed at the thyroid in the meantime?

How'd it go?That's interesting, thanks for the suggestion. Haven't taken activated charcoal but thought it might help and what you propose is worth a try.
Right, I need something to do, something I can try. My health is falling apart and I have no protocol to follow or anything to do that's going to help.
I was also stupid, when I was young. I get your thinking, but this kind of a mindset is not what I have. I didn´t think you would be dwelling about possible health problems when you are aware of them. My line of thinking is, just map then, write them down, research as possible factors and when you are not doing research, forget about them, do the things you like. Even if they aren´t causally linked, you´ll get smarter about health and your reaserch might lead to something you didn´t expect.Thanks. Very interesting. There are some similarities in our symptoms.
Unfortunately, and this may sound silly to some, there's no way I can spend my life thinking some injury to a random part of my body has caused my symptoms unless there's a logical link. It would just drive me insane. I'm willing to explore anything but if we are talking physical injuries like a deviated septum that you think is causing prostatitis there's just not enough to go on. I too have a deviated septum, I've had my nose broken a number of times, eye socket fractured, teeth smashed, broken bottles smashed over my head, car crash with my face smashing the windscreen leaving me with nose split open and stitches needed all over my face. I can't tell you the amount of times I've been punched or had serious fights. I didn't live the best life growing up and was an idiot, always in trouble, but my general health was good. Aside from that if I was to go down your road of thinking, am I to also consider every knock bump or fall or football injury, knee damage, ankle bones chipped etc etc might have lead to my health symptoms? There's just no way I could spend time dwelling on that, it would destroy me. You thinking your deviated septum causes systemic problems would be a prime example. What's the point in thinking that if there's nothing you can do about it and it may not be the cause. You either get the deviated septum fixed if you think it's causing problems or you might as well forget it and look at other possible causes.
I see the throat / swallowing problem as possibly linked but the rest there's not enough to go on to link them to my symptoms or anything that would lead to a cure.
In regards to prostatitis, it's new for me, only had it a couple of months so we'll see what happens with that/if it resolves. Whereas the dehydration is years old. The high estrogen idea keeps popping up so I need to explore that. I tried tyronene, didn't help my dehydration at all, glad it helped yours.
Hate to be critical, but I'm not surprised that is the direction of doctors. Going into the hormones etc. and thinking they must be dysregulated, and not so much as thinking that is probably a response from a stimulus that is the root cause. But if that is the way for them to arrive at the root cause, then I'm for it. But if they're going to control that hormone or peptide or enzyme, then may God be with you.I've had a response from a functional medicine doctor mentioning the possibility of 'too low ANP(atriopeptins) from the CNS and/or low PGE2 from the kidneys'. I'm reading up on this currently but if anyone has any experience in this area or thinks it could be along the right lines and contributing to my symptoms please let me know what you think.
I would be interested to see your bun creatinine ratio.I've had a response from a functional medicine doctor mentioning the possibility of 'too low ANP(atriopeptins) from the CNS and/or low PGE2 from the kidneys'.
