Hi @gigiraj I haven't posted on a health site for years, but I periodically look for others who share the same cluster of symptoms that I do. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your post and just wanted to reach out and tell you that you're not alone in what you're going thru.

I've had very similar symptoms since 2012 (I'm a 33yo male). For me it started as sudden onset of constipation and thin/discolored stools. The change in bowl habits seemingly came out of nowhere, and I haven't been the same since the change began 9 years ago now. I'd say about two years into the bowl changes, I started experiencing a swelling sensation around my liver that would at first come and go, and then the swelling sensation became constant and a whole lot of other symptoms began to emerge. Pins and needles/burning sensations in my limbs, cycles of diarrhea/constipation, pressure in my head, night sweats, internal vibrations, severe brain fog, skin rashes, heart palpitations, muscle twitching. These episodes would last for a few months, subside for a few months and then come back, each episodes usually being more intense than the last. From the outside you'd never know I was dealing with any health issues.

I've seen countless doctors, specialists and had many tests done (at UCLA no less). Every doctor and test imaginable to try and find the source of these symptoms. Instead of any clarity, I've gotten reaffirmations of being in great health due to fantastic bloodwork and normal scans. Every test has come back completely unremarkable, yet the symptoms still come and go.

I wanted to mainly reach out and let you know that while I haven't been diagnosed with anything (other than the IBS nonsense and anxiety), I have found that keeping to an AIP diet has helped curb the more serious symptoms I was dealing with. I haven't had a serious episode since early 2018. The heart palpitations and constipation persists, and sometimes I'll still get moderate brain fog. But the pressure in my head and around my liver have mostly gone away. I attribute my internal tremors to high levels of anxiety that have developed over the years around these health issues, and have found that they happen a lot less often when I can keep my stress levels low. Anyways, I'll stop rambling, but just wanted to reach out and let you know that you're not alone! I wish there was others I could have connected with during my more trying times, but I had never really found anyone else dealing with the same group of symptoms.

I know this is kind of an old post now, but I hope things have gotten better for you. They have for me -- at least to a point where I don't feel like my symptoms hold my life hostage anymore. And if I ever end up with an actual diagnoses I'll be sure to try and reach out.
