Wild Oats

Thank you! Just to update anyone interested, I'm still gluten-free. If I've ingested any gluten at all, then I don't know of it. The withdrawal finally quit after four weeks or so off the gluten. (It's been 4.5 weeks now.) I feel good. Good answers, thanks. I still have no good justification for going this course except to save thousands in medical...

Oh, OK. I'm sorry I snapped at you. I feel guilty for flying off the handle. However, with me, I'm not anxious at all about my health. I'm just frustrated and agitated. And honestly, doing Yahoo searches doesn't ramp up my anxiety at all, it just ramps up my frustration with the doctors who should be doing this research for me. But, see, going...

Thank you! That's very kind. Maybe I should explain that I see the worst in everyone. I've been hurt by a million different people--not just doctors--and I have come to see that people (including doctors) are self-interested and not trustworthy. For example, I've observed both my little sister and my late grandmother going to the ER due to overwhelming...

The first time I ever diagnosed myself was when I was nineteen, which was slightly...

Thank you for the advice, but I will continue to self-diagnose.

Thank you both! Yeah, I've been called a hypochondriac by my mother, and I've been told by some healthcare providers, "There's no reason for your fatigue, so quit imagining it," etc. I swear I don't go around complaining about or exaggerating health issues. I've been fatigued since I was around 16/17 years old, and now I'm 38. I made a mental leap recently...

Hi. I think I have gluten ataxia, but I'm not sure. I have been diagnosed as having ataxia--it's in my medical records. I've also been diagnosed as having tiredness. I have also had brain MRI's which show a large white spot in my cerebellum. (You can see it in the photo. The doctors never seemed to notice it when they looked over my scans.) Also, I get fatigued...
