I've been looking to find what's wrong with me for years and been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and a lot of other things. Lost my ability to breed when I was 34 to endometriosis. Now I also have Scleroderma of the genitals. Finally I have now seen a neurologist. Lots of blood tests showed a toxicity of vit B6 at 420. Also high Thyroglobulin antibodies at 16.4.
My doctor is quite intolerant and says, "what can you expect, you are a 75 year old woman!"
I work hard at not getting into a box to wait. Yes I should change my doctor but she does bulk bill. I'm in the middle at the moment between GP and the Neurologist. I've gone off all cruciferous veggies(Thyroid blockers) and drinking lots of water to try to bounce the Vit B6 out of my system. The weakness in my legs and the peripheral pain and numbness get dismissed. I'm old.
I have been a big fan of fermenting (culturing) my veggies and eat them often thinking they were better than swallowing probiotics to assist with gut and bowel. Of course they are full of cruciferous vegetables too and may well be contributing hugely to this condition but as none of the normal thyroid tests routinely done showed any problems, I didn't know.
Its lovely to see that there are many of us here though I wish it were not so for all of us.
I do look at it all with a bit of a different perspective though being aware that our western lifestyle of more and more consumption, which causes our host, Mother Earth, so many problems. Her own toxicity is very obviously caused by us consuming her bit by bit. Her climate balance, air quality, toxic rivers and oceans and poisoned top soil are seeing an extinction event not witnessed since the dinosaurs. I see myself a little the same. Completely out of balance and now my body is consuming itself with these autoimmune problems, cell by cell, joint by joint, organ by organ.
Do you think this is an interesting thought? Let me know what you think?
I'm very grateful for all your entries here. I don't feel so alone.
Thank you.
I am going through the same thing. It's hard to find a doctor that is willing to take the time to try and figure things out. You obviously need to ditch that doctor.
