Health Issues that su** (long)

[KnottedYet]

I am thinking good thoughts for you.

I'm also thinking that a lot of your symptoms sound a lot like many of mine. Is it possible you have celiac disease? (the best test seems to be going without wheat/oats/barley/rye and monitoring symptom response) Celiacs can get crazy gut and neuro symptoms that don't make sense. Because celiacs don't absorb nutrients right they can have nutrient related problems. Vitamin B12 is a huge problem for celiacs, we don't absorb it well. Lack of B12 can really mess with your neuro system, too. (beyond what the disease does directly)

Celiac is an autoimmune disease that gets worse with stress, you can go years without problems, it comes and goes, and you can have sensitivities to dairy and a few other foods. (I have to watch dairy and alcohol and sometimes soy, they can cause me trouble!)

Just re-read your post, and it is striking how similar our symptoms are.

(I also got to do the "is it MS? is it Lupus? is it Thyroid?" dance.)
