Autoimmune Symptoms

I was always very depressed, foggy, groggy, and insane in my thinking. I suffered chronic fatigue and a burning sensation, numbness in my brain. It has been referred to as peanut butter. I suffered brain fog, a mettalic type sensation between the temples region. I had terrible, terribly awful gas which would come on in cycles. I suffered itching of the rectum, and bad, breath, bloating was a common for me. I would urinate many times during the day and night. Throughout my 20’s and 30’s I would only have a stool every other day and/or every third day. This would vary but my memory recalls that it was not regular.
My memory was so bad it was scary and became not only very disturbing but very tiring for me as well as problematic. I became obsessive compulsive in order to remember things like locking the door when I would leave the house. By the time I made it to the street I would forget if I had locked the door then I would go back again to find out always that I had. I will say my memory was so bad that I would forget why I went back to the house when I went back to check on if the door was locked or not. This manifested itself in every area of my life.

I made it as far as college, then classes became so increasingly difficult, that I would have to drop classes. I could neither comprehend the subject material or remember the material required needed to perform the tasks of the subject. My brain felt like it was being literally squeezed as if by a device or in a vice machine. I felt like my brain was pressurized. I could not continue studying subjects for it wiped me out, and it was altogether useless, because my memory, and attention span was so low. I would spend way more time studying a subject then what would be an applicable time for other students. I was diagnosed bi-polar.

Mornings were difficult, I could not get out of bed, and out of the house within a 4 hour time period.
Common chores were too much of a duty for me, and I would get confused and too tired to do them.
When I first started treatments I had a difficult time with dealing with vitamin regiments and the thought preparation.

Life was overwhelming and I was miserable, it felt like what it was life was passing me by.
The compression feeling in my brain would increase to the point of where it felt like I was really insane. At one stage point of early recovery it literally felt like there was a bee hive inside of my head. I was really freaked out, scared and just barely dealing with it for I had no choice.

I was habit to bad decisions, and I always felt like if I just had this, or that, or this plan was to go like this, then everything would be alright.
When I received that which I thought would make, it alright, it did not.

My exercise regiment was sporadic.
I am an athlete and do exercise, but I would not be able to continue an exercise regiment for more than 3-4 months; at the most before I would burn out.
When I was at different jobs, I always was having problems with the tasks. I was so foggy, tired and fatigued. Employment opportunities would always end up with me feeling resentment, against myself and/or another employee. I had to finally stop working because of these reasons and the fact I could not and would not keep a job for very long. My longest employment was
one and a half years hand washing cars.
I was actually a hazard to most of the jobs. I was a danger to myself, as well as to those around me. I was lucky to have not been hurt on the job; and/or to hurt anyone else.

Focus was difficult for me.
Making money was difficult, and this compounded any sort of self esteem I had. My self esteem lowered by the day.

Funny enough because I looked healthy and successful as I could put up a front, people could not understand my insanity, and/or lack of comprehension.
They would look at me weird.
Healthy people could not understand my incompetence. Because I am a likable person, people would end up making fun of me. This became annoying for I would always end up being the one picked on and/or I would take the part acting the joker.
At the end of my life before recovery, I was really spaced out.
I would see colors on the walls in spots, and the imagery was like a computer pixal screen.
My brain felt like it had electrical currents going through it. Self medicating definitely compounded autoimmune disease for me.
Although it is unsure if I was born with the symptoms of autoimmune disease. It is definite that I exhibited the symptoms before the age of three because in my baby pictures you can tell I was bloated and I was allergic to foods. Later in my teenage years especially, definitely the early to late twenties of my life, diet was a definite component figure of my suffering along with the self medicating through the use of alcohol and drugs. It all contributed to the extremity of the illness. Although I can remember symptoms that date back to third grade and earlier.
It has taken a long time to find the answers in order to heal myself of this disease. I have been through many different states of the illness and have tried many a different type of treatments, including 7 pharmaceutical medications, to no avail.

Since I formally began the treatments, I have seen the symptoms dissipate, as one would see and feel a high fever go.

Although for me, it has been a slow process, due to trial and error. It needed have been.
When I first began recovery, a lot of this current information was not practiced and/or realized by the medical community and/or the alternative health community. There were no specialists in my neighborhood, I eventually moved to Santa Rosa California just to be near Doctor Ron Kennedy, the only doctor/specialists, I have worked with competent enough to treat me successfully.
It is now, I realize only the really good specialists, know about this treatments.

My recovery has been remarkable, in that I have made it through without dying.
I have tried so many different ways to survive, and the expense of this has been so high. In recovery it has been high financially, before recovery, the expense was so high detrimentally and emotionally.
Getting well, has in a weird and demented way been remarkable, I have always wanted to help others. It has been through my recovery that I am able; I hope it does not go unnoticed.
