I've been battling this for the last 7 years.
I'm introducing this as a "kidney" issue, but everyone battling these issues for long enough knows that kidneys/liver/gut are intertwined.
Long story short, twice a year I have these accute symptoms for one week:
- blood in urine
- no appetite
- fever
- complete loss of water in muscles
All signs of high ammonia and lack of aldosterone.
Rest of the year I'm overall very fatigued.
It has gotten better since doing a Peaty diet, my eGFR has gone up from 60 to 90.
It has also gotten better last time I was pissing blood clots when they gave me Augmentin: it cleared it right away, leading me to think that this is a recurrent bacterial kidney infection.
But this is only my thought, not a doctor's diagnosis, as they have always sent me home with a tap on the back except for that one time at the hospital where they gave me Augmentin.
Do you guys have any research direction to point me to?
Parasites? Bacteria? Something completely unrelated to kidneys?
