  1. Heh... I've tested myself for every possible virus or bacteria under the sun, and never found anything. Like I said, I've been dealing with the eye issue since Feb, so I've ruled out everything I could think of. Allergies was all that was really left, but I didn't know there was any discharge from the eye in allergic response. I've switched to the Armour...
  2. Any way to prove my eye symptoms originate from allergic response? I've tried an anti-histamine eye drop, but it did nothing. Though to be fair, the histamine tricks me into rubbing my eyes in my sleep, and then I get a bacterial infection, which the anti-histamine doesn't really help for... Also, the redness really shows more in the morning, and fades...
  3. I've the same problem. I actually outlined my entire history here at some point, but very generally, my Celiac symptoms began immediately after I got the first eye infection of my life. I took Moxifloxicin antibiotic eye drops for the infection, which cleared immediately, but the started to recur every week. Antibiotics no longer keep the infection at...
  4. I have been on Synthroid for 2 years, and even with a TSH of 0.5 and "normal" T4 levels (they don't check for T3...), I've never felt well since being diagnosed with Hashimotos (AutoImmune Hypothyroidism). I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 10 months ago, and went gluten free immediately, with 2 or 3 slip ups since... Despite that, my condition has gotten...
  5. I've confirmed my blood glucose levels are dead normal, before and after eating. Range has stayed between 4.4 and 7.8 for the past 2 days, with an average of 5.125. I have checked it during a mild attack, and it was normal. I will continue checking until the next major attack, but I suspect blood glucose to be off the hook for now. Thyroid hormone...
  6. What about someone with healthy thyroid output though, taking 88mcg. According to the makers of Synthroid, it is a very narrow band drug, and being even 40 mcg over optimal, would produce symptoms of overdose. IE: what would happen to someone who is euthroid, who takes 88mcg?
  7. I went and bought a blood sugar monitor last night. I've been between 4.8 and 7.7 before and after meals, and while symptomatic or asymptomatic. Next time I have another full blown attack, I'll check again, but I suspect hypo/hyperglycymia and/or diabetes, are both out now. As for the anti-gliadin and anti-thyroid antibodies, there was no doctors note...
  8. That makes a lot of sense, and I put no faith whatsoever into doctors or nutritionists, as I myself, have spent a lot of years with "experts" from various fields, and I've found far too many of them simply memorized the right answers through school, never understood the theory behind what they were learning, and retained nothing. Worse, in my field (computers...
  9. Thanks Foxfire, Your story does sound similar. I ended up in ER last night. By the time I got through triage, I couldn't remember my name, birthday, SIN, address, or how to use my phone to look up the information. 9 hours later I finally saw a doctor. He did some chest/abdominal x-rays, and checked my blood for electrolytes and white blood cell...
  10. Ok, I'm not sure I have celiac disease. If I do, I don't believe it explains all my recent symptoms. I'll give a quick history. I've been extremely active and healthy my entire life. I drank a bit when I was a kid, but haven't touched anything bad for me other than cigarettes in 10 years. I was a pretty serious smoker for many years. I have since quit...
