QTNC77

What kind of doctor deals with this sort of stuff? I know if I mention it to my Primary Care he will side-swipe it. Admittedly, I sound crazy when I say it outloud. How could the body not be able to deal with this after this many years? The sensations down my leg are nerve senstations for sure. I had a ruptured disc in my back in my 20's and I know the feel well. It is neuropathy. It doesn't feel like it's inside my skin, it feels like, well, I peed myself.

Yes, I was shunted around to several specialties for a good part of 2 years. As you can see, I had multi-organ issues going on -- our medical system is set up for acute medicine, not chronic issues. I then decided to take things into my own hands and demanded food sensitivity testing. It's a rather long story, but I ended up with a Functional Med doc who found out I had tricothecenes in my system (poisons from mold spores). Several rounds of binders, nutrients, dietary interventions etc. have left me rather stable, but I always tend to slip into the fatigue state. As I am now -- tired all the time, non-restorative sleep, etc. Neuropathy (feeling like hot water is running down my leg) in my right leg is now coming back -- this is the opposite leg from the bug bite. At my last appt. with Functional med. doc. I told him that I feel like we are missing something. I'm sure the toxicity from the tricothecenes caused havoc on my immune system, but those tests are coming back negative now. Today the bug bite flared up, and every inch of me is telling me - "something is not right with this". We know our bodies well, and I'm trying to listen. It is the same bite location every time. I just can't seem to figure out what this could be. What do you mean by 'monsters inside of me' ?

Hi cridomanda, This is very curious, my symptoms present the same as yours. In 2010-2011 I visited Costa Rica with the family, and got an insect bite on the inside of my left foot. The bite took easily 3 weeks to resolve, incredibly itchy. Every several months the bite comes back and itches a lot, same place every time. After the birth of my 2nd son, I progressively got ill. Severe chronic fatigue, dizziness, neuropathy in my arms & legs, terrible digestive issues, nausea, the feeling like I was drunk while walking, and the list goes on. The fatigue was so bad, I crashed as soon as I got home, and after 11-12 hrs of sleep, I would still be exhausted. Since I've been diagnosed with 2 autoimmune issues, CIRS and hashimoto's. I am fairly stable healthwise, since I have put the hashimoto's into remission, but my health tends to wax & wane. I would like to talk to you and see what you have found out since. Last post was in 2015. I am happy to share my email address - nancy.chincholi@gmail.com Hope all is well ... I am astounded at how similar our health situation is/was. I am fairly certain we are suffering from the same illness. Nancy
