lol!
well some good news and some bad news.
good news, its not Lymes, or rheumatoid arthritis...my numbers are normal for me in all aspect save for my b being low again, back to once a week b12 shots :/
AND...we have a game plan...
the bad news...
he belives that its firbromyalgia agrivated by a food intolerance...
a fibro diag needs 3 months of "treatment" and everything else rulled out prior, but given the hot spots and other symptoms he belives it could be the underlying geneality but he also belives this is something that's being agrivated by another issue...
his bet...both celiacs/gluten intolerance AND a yeast intolerance...
I wasn't sure where he was going with it but we sat for 2 hours, and hes listing off foods...can I eat this, what if I eat that, ect...
then he starts asking about sense of smell, do I get migranes if im around certain orodrs like the gas pump or strong perfume or cigarette smoke...then since im on deppo, does my mood drop dramatically abou a week befor eim due my shot...
irregular mentrtuation, cramps, even going as far as infantile issues, I had infantile exema and cradle cap...
from the list hes fairly certain im having a yeast intolerance, he said theres also signs of a gluten intolerance too but the 2 can mask eachother or fake eachother and often if you have one...you have the other.
so the plan
is the plan I was already thinking of for the need to loose this winter weight.
he wants me to do a modified paleo, he said gluten free pasta or bread (1 serving per day) is fine, and I cant do any fungus (no mushrooms or fungal cheeses like blue) soft fruits are to be avoided unless picked straight off the bush as they start to ferment quickly (additional sugar) but thick skinned fruits are ok (watermelon, crisp apples and pears, banannas ect....) in limits...
he wants me to avoid all smoked and cured meats though...
I told him hmm that's kinda funny cause someone on my group mentioned celiacs...and ive been thinking about paleo...and he goes...
well then, that's perfect, now you've got a medical reason to go for it...
so im on the change of diet, all I can eat in terms of green veggies, and lean proteins, fruit and fresh dairy in controlled portions (yay yogurt and cheese) and very limited startches like gluten free bread or sweet potato...
he also put me on an antifungal medication and warned me if this IS whats going on (the yeast issue) im going to feel like hell, headachy, sick, ect as my body detoxes from the yeast...
he says I should start to see a difference in about 2 weeks and have a follow up in a month...
heres to hoping...and this puts me on the right diet path that I should be on too (low carb)
so tonight im going to be doing some extra reaserch...
I scored a 303 on
http://www.candidafree.net/test_long.htm
anything over 180 generally means yeast issues, over 300 they say is pretty definite yeast connected problems...so...
he says if this works well then do a gluten tolerance test in a month to see if we can start reintroducing gluten...
so tonight is my 1 last hurrah, ive got a peach bellinni schmirnoff to drink, and my last skinny cow truffle bar and I had the last of my ravioli for dinner...
I hope you get to feeling better with the new diet sis!
