Feeling hopeless, desperate for some guidance
Hello Curezone,
I am a 22 year old male and have been living in a dreamlike world since August. Here are/were a list of my symptoms:
Brain Fog: Memory loss. Inability to learn or remember details. Feels like there's a cloud sitting over my head. Unable to critical think. Weak sense of humor.
Digestive problems: Stomach extremely bloated. Rare bowel movements and even those are never fully emptied. Strange stools. Undigested corn & tomatoes. Stringy stools, stools that break apart into small particles when flushed. Other times stools are compact but very small.
Always hungry and rarely satisfied after eating. Everything tastes good. I used to hate eating sweets and would never touch cake on my birthday but now even sweets taste amazing. Adverse reactions to all
Sugar except for fruits. Able to eat A LOT. Extremely skinny and inability to gain weight.
Never fully refreshed after sleep regardless of hours slept. I wake up so damn tired and it always feels as if though I've been dreaming the whole night yet can't remember anything.
Heart palpitations: Fast heart beat. Feel my heart beating throughout my body. Used to get these jolts throughout my body which would result in what felt like my heart stopping and restarting but have gone away since.
Easily startled. Feels like a jolt goes through my body at the slightest movement or noise which causes a severe uneasy feeling throughout my body. Can't handle stress or going out and meeting new people.
Adverse reactions to alcohol, caffeine, and marijuana. Alcohol sends my body into panic mode. Just causes this very uneasy feeling although I can't fully recall the experience due to brain fog. I had my first panic attack in July after smoking weed. Smoked once since then, and was scared for my life. My body felt dead cold, even a hot shower felt cold. My eyes became bloodshot red and puffy and I was terrified when I looked in the mirror. My heart rate was out of this world, and I thought it would literally jump out of my chest. I then had an experience with coffee that led to me to cold sweats, extreme shaking, near loss of consciousness, and I thought death was inevitable as I forgot my own name. That was in August, I've been terrified to touch any of it since.
A week later, I foolishly took vicodin while hanging out with my buddies while they were drinking which sent me into an anxiety attack. Then smoked a cigarette after thinking it would relax me but rather it sent me into another anxiety attack that changed my world forever with the beginning of all my symptoms.
Cold hands, nose, knees, & feet.
Sweaty palms + feet
Extremely intolerant to cold.
Hand tremors.
Weak muscles.
Slow reactions.
Little emotion, can't get angry nor happy.
Extreme shortness of breath
Veins in eyes, slightly puffy.
Constantly clogged sinuses for the past year.
Sore throat upon waking up that eventually goes away.
Slight tongue coating, bad breath.
Weak brittle nails
Hair loss.
Muscle twitches.
Pulsating in ears.
Slow urine flow, especially in the morning. Spotted blood a couple times.
Premature ejaculation.
Thick jelly like semen. Also spotted what looked like blood before.
Was very light sensitive.
Also suffered from insomnia.
I have tried the candida diet as well as numerous anti-fungals with no die off reaction. I have been eating healthy. No fast food, no
Sugar apart from some fruit. I am really unsure as to what I need to address my problem. I don't trust the medical field, as they basically told me to shut up and stop stressing as it was just anxiety and put me on xanax. I had to drop out of college and have a hard time working as I cannot function at all in the morning. I know I have candida and possibly adrenal fatigue but I feel like there are other factors that are preventing me from getting better. My parents think I'm nuts and the two real friends I have left think I'm over-exaggerating.
I thank anyone who bothered to read this and I would owe my life to anyone who could help lead me in a positive direction.
