Dear all,
I am trying to figure out what is the root of my dis-ease.
My medical history is as follows:
I had meningitis when I was a small kid
During pre-adolescense I had bronchitis spells during autumn
Late adolescence I had some asthma-like bouts. I saw an allergist and he gave me some shots, and it went away.
At that same time I begun taking Roaccutan (
Antibiotic for acne), for about 1.5 years.
One month after I stopped taking Roaccutan, I developed chronic diarrhea. And a month later I developed chronic folliculitis (on my scalp and neck).
Four years after that, and after experimenting with psychedelics, I developed chronic anxiety and Depersonalization Disorder. At this time i begun an almost vegan diet.
And four years later, I had a psychotic break.
Tests done:
Colonoscopy/Endoscopy OK, no parasites/clostridium diff, no intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Blood and Urine OK, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance OK, one ABNORMAL EEG,
food allergies OK, X-rays OK, Abdominal ultrasound OK, enlarged Liver, High Eosinophils.
What could be causing these symptoms? Dysbiosis? Copper Imbalance? Allergies? Inflammation? Nutrient deficiency?
About my physical constitution: I am 1.76 m tall, weight around 70kg (used to weight 80kg but after the chronic diarrhea I went down to 65kg)
I have vertical ridges on my nails. I have a lot of body hair. Slight beer belly (bloated). White coated, split tongue with strawberry-like dots. Green eyes with yellow lines and a darker ring surrounding the iris. Thin straight hair.
I have some scoliosis and kyphosis.
My mental constitution: I was quite outgoing, fearless, passionate, creative. After the psychedelics I became more open minded and idealistic, but developed anxiety, and later depersonalization (feeling completely detached, like I lost my soul/self), then I partially recovered but had a lot of magical thinking and overly-creative-lateral thoughts. Finally I fell into a psychosis: racing, live thoughts, I was caught in some kind of daydream. I was on Risperidone for about 8 months, I am coming off it now, but I feel it has made me really numb, empty, detached, restless.. I feel it damaged my brain. At the moment I feel quite hopeless, disoriented, depressed, empty. I fear I might relapse into a psychosis so I am looking for other treatments.
Hopefully someone can help me find possible root causes.
Thanks a lot for reading =)
