Hi..

Nice to meet you all really could do with some support..

Been ill two years started off with loads of food in tolerances cant eat sugar, bread loads of stuff..tummy was so distended, anxious, depressed when ate certain foods, ulcers, thrush, feacal impaction, consitipated all the time..

Went out on the new years a dragged out didnt want to go..had a few rums well about 4 and 4 am new years day woke up at mates felt funny an collapsed in bathroom and had a sizure..must of been the sugar..

Had colonosocpy just showed slightly lazy bowel, endocspy hiatu hernia..

So went to a homeopath and she said i had chronic candida and put me on a strict diet no sugar caffine wheat even some veggies wernt allowed..did feel better just very fatigued and still got mood swings and lost so much weight..

End of 7 months she said you can eat what you want and i got very ill she said there must be an underlying problem..went to docs he said celiac and told me to eat normal for bisopsy..

God i was so ill...i ate chocolate aswel tjhought may aswell make the most of it while i can if celiac..also at the sam etime i stopped the pill as too ill to go and get it. I deteriorated very quick...

Noticed that when i ate choclate my heart pounded, stomche blew up, constipation, shaking, moody, manic depression..on and on loads of symtoms pains up bottom, thick thrush on mouth..fgace started swelling up and tingling...they did biopsy and it showed that i am not celiac..

Nutritionist at work said right go back to eting normaly ..and i got worse and worse suicidal ..my skin started to resemble crepe paper..my eyes were hollow still are under neath..started showing lines..my family were sick of me as so up and down and sick of me being down as dont know whats wrong all the time..mum was going to throw me out if i didnt try antidepressants..

I took them 4 days..on the second day my sister had been beaten up and my mum came running in my room manda shes covered in blood..i shot up..(on tabs, eating sugar etc) and legs went all funny i coldnt breath ..skin went cold clamy and i was in a nother world..mum didnt realise and was sorting out my sister..after i went to sleep and woke up and my face was wonky my smile had droped the right side of my face wonky ..i couldnt stop going number twos my boewls had given way..my heart was going so fast ..i couldnt walk without being out of breath...I'd had a mild stroke ..and its now all coming to light been diagnosed pcos..but also metabolic syndrome..

Id been going to my doctor for two years telling him im not well please help he just kept sayin depression so my family ended up believeing him so i had no support i ve fallen out with them now..

I am waiting to have a brain scan, nerve test and to see gyne ..

I am so scared and up set i look awful face still slightly wonky 3 months on, under my eyes hollow with awful lines and i am only 30 ..my skin looks awful like crepe paper..my hair has thined out ..my skin feels thick on my face aswell...the right side of my body is still not right and my neck is in spasum and its looks like the tendon has sort of moved..

I am back on diet and feel better in myself but so much i cant eat..i cant eat fruit to you guys have this problem? so where ive been so restricted thinking i had celiac its taken its toll on me big time aswell with malnurishment..

The celiac food was all really high gi i was eating white rice porrige stuff an rice cakes and since ive swapped to wholegrain rice noticed no fatigue..but i cant eat bread coz of the yeast and tahts i think..

Ive ordered some high strength vit c, calcium, magnesium as this nutritionist said to me that may be why my muscle spasum isnt getting better..
He said my skin will be better with vit c..its dehydrated..

I am so scared..ive gotta have brain scan, nerve test, rhuemetolgy i think she thinks ive developed something else aswell because of it all..

Sorry to go on please can you help me and if anyones going through this please say hello i feel so alone..xxxxx

I have not had those experiences, but wanted to welcome you here. I really hope you can get a new doctor who will treat you seriously & realize that you aren't just suffering depression, but a physical illness as well. I wish you all the best!

Hi all..

Thanks for getting back to me..

||Yeah I have just heard i start neuro physio very soon which is good news and i have got date to see gyne..

If insulin going mad has been my cause of stroke then can someone help me to sort out my diet please xx I previsouly was a fitness trainer so i used to do low carb but i am not sure how low carb i need to go i know it needs to be low gi.

I am just about to go and have a food intolerance test as i still dont know if i a celiac or not and it makes the food choices for low gi very hard..

My other problem is because i look awful i get fed up and then i think sod it whats the point and eat stuff that actually tastes nice as my life is so depressing at the moment.

My mum and dad dont want to to know, ive been signe off work 3 1/2 months and most of my mates dont bother with me as it can bring people down i think. I have lost my confidence and just feel like i am sitting here watchiong my life go by...

So this is second day on diet dont feel to bad..and ive spoken to some nutrition guy who said that ive cut to much out my diet which could be why my hair has stopped growing and loads of nbreakage and is like straw and very thin..and my skins gone all funny...so fingers crossed he has promised me that the high dose vit c and mag/calcium supplement will help massivley and my facial spasum may improve just with the right supplements..

So no one has a problem with fruit then??? Well I am going for my food test at 11 so ill let you know what they say it may make eating a bit easier..

Thanks so much everyone its nice feelin like ive got people vouching for me..and i hope you are all well and if you have any tips on this pcos things i would most appreciate it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
