Will log my symptoms cronologically, it's a long list!

55 year old female

2013 - I get an eye allergy/ redness/ watering which lasts for about a year, doctors and opthalmologist ( I saw two) have no idea after tests. I stop using cosmetics/products and it passes but still gets red now and then.

2014 - Tibial Osteotomy Doctor said I was too young for a knee replacement, right knee was bone on bone.                                           Lost the hearing in my right ear later that year, it is about 70% loss now, loud tinnitus. all tests and scans came back negative,           doctors said nerves just died.

2015 - Excrutiating pain in my right forearm elbow, which then over time travelled all through my body, from my head to my toes,   deep aching, tingling, numbing, burning.  All tests/scans/ MRI's came back negative, Rheumatologist said it will pass, some people just get pain.

2016 - Loud noises started in my head, not like the Tinnitus in my ear which is like the sound of the ocean, this sound is like jet engines, dinging, humming etc

2017 - I had a sharp pain in my left ring finger which felt like nerve pain, then a blister type sore appears on my wrist which takes a while to heal, no one knew what it was.

2018 - Electrical type currents running through my body when trying to sleep. Start of cronic pain, right side from under breast down to groin. This pain continues on and off, but more near the liver now. Had pelvic scans and xrays, nothing found. All organs are good.

2019 - Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia (  what they give you when they can't find anything else) and Psoriasis. A visit to hosptial emergency with severe vertigo, not known cause, but took about 4 weeks to lessen in severity.

 

As well as the body pain, I have had many fungal ear infections, cysts on differing parts of the body, slight Rosacea on face, weird skin nodules that came up on my forearms and legs, premature age type spots that have appeared over the last couple of years as well as spider veins. I also have had hives appear out of nowhere. Fuzzy head, inability to concentrate, loss of memory, forgetfulness. Depression, anxiety.

I have felt like my body has been slowly dying or being poisoned over the last 5 years or so, I always feel like I am coming down with something, or getting a virus then nothing happens, sore throat, sore body, fever, headache, then it passes and something else comes along. I gave up seeing my doctor about every little thing. My eyes have also worsened, I have needed a stronger prescription glasses every year.

I decided to start a Ketogenic diet about a year ago, for the first 4 months I felt great, lost some weight, then slowly began to feel worse, I started on Vitamins, loads of D, Fish oil, Multi B, filling up on dairy, leafy greens, eggs.......yep you know the story, I wasnt getting any better. Started to get what I though was dermatitis which has now been diagnosed as Psoriasis, it's not bad, just a few small patches, but that's my Auto Immune disease, I knew I would get something with all this toxic poison running through my body.  

 Every doctor I have seen including 2 Rhuematologists, 2 Opthamologists, 4 Ent's, 2 Dermatologists, many blood tests and xrays. scans can find nothing. I understand they are trained to treat the symptons and are not bothered to find the real reason. I have had comments like " most people over 50 will get some Auto Immune disease" really?? " Some people get body pain" "you will just have to live with it" and so on.

I stopped dairy about a month ago, while still continuing a Ketogenic lifestyle, having been on some Psoriasis forums, dairy seemed to be the culprit, I felt better for a while, until I ate some Sweet Potato, and I flared up in a red rash on my chest, my face was inflamed and knew there was something more, which let me to vitamin A Toxicity and here.

For the past 2 weeks I have been eating a low VA diet, I signed up to Dr Garrets Smiths site to get more info on foods etc I can honestly say that I feel better,  it looks like the psoriasis patches are fading, no new ones, last weekend I had the best nights sleep and woke feeling rested yay!! Time will tell for the rest.

On pondering why I have this toxic overload, I took large doses of Spirulina from about 1995 to 2010, everyday, thinking it was doing me good, then what I thought was the healthy version  Keto diet, very high in Vitamin A. 

Thankyou to  all who have posted your experience, I finally feel like I have found a way to get my health back.
