Inflammation On Right Side Of My Body. Anyone Else?

No need to ask me to see the doctors about this.  I have seen more medical people this week than in the last 20 years.  My inflammation seems to be subsiding. ,It is nothing new. but I noticed my right thigh bigger than my left.  It actually goes further than that.  My blood pressure on left is very low.  On the right my blood pressure is high.

 

Since my chiropractor recently told me to figure out my lymph with my functional medicine nurse, I think it may have to do with that system.

When my mom had that, it was from heart disease.  But heart disease takes a real MD to diagnose and treat.

 

 You said that the MDs you are seeing have noticed this and think it is OK?  If so, maybe it isn't really that much of a difference.  It would be normal to have small differences in size and blood pressure.

Have you ever noticed that they usually only take the pressure in one arm?  Well, the other day a nurse took the pressure in my left arm and found it quite low.  Days later a different nurse check my right arm which was dangerously high.  I realized that this high number was much different than I get at home.  As I puzzled over it, I realized the pressures were in one arm than the other.  I took the pressure in each arm and realized 20 points or so difference.  I checked on the internet and one could have 10 points different between arms.  Mine was a bigger difference and I showed them my numbers from yesterday.  But today during a recheck my numbers were within 10 and both within normal range.  I will be keeping track and working with various doctors on this.  I want to solve the swelling by finding the root and avoid medication or meddling when I can.  But

 

 am being told my lymph system is having some trouble.  Lymph drains different on each side of the body.  I am planning to ask the GI if they have any ideas.  I added many foods back in after my antibody test and have been losing one by one of them with a 4 day reaction.

 

I did have my heart checked recently by LIFELINE.  They did note an almost 10 point difference between the arm pressures.

 

I will keep trying to work on this and off I go today to another doctor.  Should be interesting.

 

 I am off to interview a GI doctor.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
