Symptoms - Partial list

      Here is a partial list of symptoms.  All my symptoms happen at once, at the same time.
       I am continuing to look through my scattered notes and logs. I haven't figured out a good way to make this list and provide a space for updates and improvements. I would like to track my symptoms and give updates formatted in a way that's easy on the eyes and easy to make updates to. If anyone has any suggestions, please drop me a note.

  1. Medical diagnose is probably fibromyalgia.
    In my opinion the most important thing at this point is to eliminate the Candida and correct the leaky gut syndrome, that is the only way to go back to a healthy state.
    Glutathione is ok, but you have to go to the root of the problem. Good luck and God Bless.

  2. Dear Michael, have you pursued a Lyme diagnosis? Dysautonomia symptoms and Lyme are parallel. I was told fibromyalgia, etc,etc,etc. I finally got a diagnosis via blood tests sent to Igenix labs. Lyme is misdiagnosed in a very big way. It is often diagnosed as MS. The fact is, MS is Lyme. Other neurological illnesses are also often Lyme. Lyme is an epidemic all over the U.S. and Canada. Google: MacLean's Truth About Lyme march 24,2014 for the exposé. This is something to research. I also researched 'natural remedy for Lyme'. See www.lymephotos.com I am on this cure right now. It is simple. One must start very,very small doses. Also, if one finds out they have Lyme there is the question of whether or not to go natural or conventional, or mixed. It would be very wise to see a Naturopath, or integrative doctor. The standard Lyme tests have a terrible fail rate. Lyme IS a chronic disease that must be treated. Please dig into the research. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and Lyme is a great source of info. Note: emf's from wireless devices exacerbate Lyme. Emf's cause pathogens to multiply like mad. Both borrellia bacteria and mold/candida. Klinghardt explains. I wish you all the success on your research:)
