Cheers gluten-free Lover, My doc said that I 100% don't have a thyroid problem and called be an obsessive mental case and said I should go back on benzo's which is quite an achievement considering how hard it is to get a script for them in the U.K. Serum TSH level - 2.2 mU/L, Normal range - 0.27-4.2 Serum free T4 level - 21.8 pmol/L, Normal range -...

Can anyone give any insight into my test results? Thanks. Serum TSH level - 2.2 mU/L Serum free T4 level - 21.8 pmol/L

I think you are completely missing the point. I too question your ability as a moderator and furthermore, whether you are a responsible adult. You seem to be putting words into my mouth, In fact, I am extremely disheartened by your argument towards me. I have not said 'do not take drugs'. I have however said, that they should be a last resort. If Johnny...

If Johnny Q seen posts promoting drug use without any knowledge or warning of the negative consequences that they can have and then ended up committing suicide; I wonder if you would have the same opinion? All my statements are backed up by fact. It's a fact that benzos are highly addictive, It's a fact that the longer you take them, the less effective...

I think you will find that all people who go through benzo withdrawal (or any drug withdrawal) will give you the same advice including many medical professionals. There is a huge problem in today's society where often the first line of defence is to prescribe drugs instead of trying to find the root cause of the problem. I have yet to see any evidence that...

I think this is terrible advice without any thought to the outcome or consequences that taking drugs can have. Only take drugs if it's the final resort imo.

I've had anxiety for the past 10-12 years. I've not left my house for 4 years except for when I must do food shopping. Even then I have to go at stupid o'clock in the morning when it is less busy. I've tried most meds and nothing worked. Living in the UK it was very difficult to get my doctor to put me on benzo's (clonazepam). I had to resort to making...

Well, I woke up this morning from a horrible nightmare and my mouth was very dry/sticky, my tongue was covered in a white coating and I felt so ill I went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed Nystatin for yeast infection. I'm now thinking that what I experienced in week 2 and 3 was a Candida die off and not Hypoglycemia. It would explain why I felt better...

Okay, It's been 3 hours and now I feel really depressed and I just had a poo and my housemate said it smells like beer. I haven't drunk any alcohol for weeks. Any Ideas on this?

I think I may have had my first glutening today. I can't be sure, I'm not even sure celiac/gi is my problem. Can someone please post if they experience the same when glutened? Hopefully it will ease my mind. I had corned beef hash which was cooked in a pan which my housemate cooks pasta in. The pan was washed well and I did eat some yesterday with no...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll request a copy of all my results as soon as my celiac blood work results get back which I'm hoping is Monday.

Thanks for the reply . Well FML. After 2 weeks of the worst time of my life, I finally realized I was suffering from hypoglycemia. I couldn't figure out why my symptoms were worse at night. I was getting paranoid delusions about aliens (beam me up scotty). I was eating a fruit smoothie for breakfast, meat and veggies for lunch and meat and veggies for...

With the risk of sounding like a broken record . Everything you describe I suffer from. To me it sounds like anxiety. A panic attack does not have to be a full blown episode where you freak out. Very often when I get an anxiety attack I find it difficult to breathe/shortness of breath and feel weak and clumsy. This is not meant as a personal attack...

Yep, what I'm describing is psychosis, I have also had diarrhea with lumps of fat in my stools which started around the same time as the panic attacks. I can't tell you if weed caused my psychosis or if it just aggravated symptoms of celiac or if it is totally unrelated altogether. All I know is that some people with schizophrenia have gone into full remission...

I was the same. I smoked for years before I got my first panic attack. After that I never felt the same while smoking. I'd get panic attacks, most of the time they weren't the classic idea of what a panic attack is. I'd get a very uncomfortable feeling, paranoid thoughts, twitches, I couldn't speak because I'd stutter and mix my sentences up which lead to...
