Hey Mattk3, wondering if this reply is in response to the pics....Im not sure what black specs you mean?
No white sesame seed looking things
No fluid from ears
No spider veins
No flushing after eating (just at times tired and brain fog)
No tan in winter or white blotches
I do not crave sugar
I do sleep, very well, usually pretty late at night til 8 or 9. I only go back to bed if my bowels areny moving as sometimes I have another opportunity later (around noon). This problem is my worst symptom and pretty much rules my life. I love mornings and ideally would be on a schedule sleeping from 11or 12 at night to between 6 and 7am. Like I mentioned in my earlier msg, bowel isn't completey frozen at all times, just intermittent, and the ilepcecal can easily pull things in the wrong way if I don't pay attention to making sure things move correctly. It is a very bizarre problem. When I have good elimination it is a LOT of waste that comes out even though I don't eat much.
Thanks again
