I Am Having Weird symptoms.....CAN ANYBODY HELP ME!!

Well, I don't know if this is the same thing, but I had headaches and facial pain for years and doctors didn't know what was wrong. The headaches got so bad once that I passed out, and was rushed to the ER. There, a doctor suggested that I might have TMJ. My jaw was not aligned properly, which was making me overcompensate with the jaw and facial muscles. So I got braces. I was 23, and no dentist had ever suggested braces before. It worked though. Hope this helps...

T.-It can absolutely be a yeast overgrowth--candida!! It is a parasite that once is overgrown so badly it affects the brain, gut, intestines and is a mold toxin!! Your body is reacting to it by these side effects. Google candida and see what comes up, you will be amazed. Get on a good cleansing program and do a detox and get on some really high quality probiotics. Further-you are going to have to change what you eat!! Limit dairy and no sugar--it fuels candida growth. Organic fruits and veggies-but limit fruits high in sugars such as oranges, watermelon and peaches. Increase some good sald greenns with apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. (check out braggs.com for recipes!!)

Also-if you eat red meat or pork you have some other parasites significantly increasing these awful symptoms.

I have a simple, comprehensive one page document called the blueprint for good health which can help. You will want to get on a parasite cleanse thru a health food store or an internet company such as vitacost or naturalwebstore.com.

If you want a list of comprehensive websites and books let me know but start with the Detox Strategy by Brenda Watson--she has been featured on PBS (has a website too) and has written numerous books on the subject.

I guarantee if you change just a few things you will notice a tremendous difference!!

Good luck

It can be as others suggested stress or TMJ or some other neuro related pathology. Since many of the symptoms are neurologic in nature ask your physician for a neurology consult. Don't back down. I would pursue further medical interventions/testing first before venturing down the alternative therapy path.

Hi there-

I would go see a Neurologist to rule out any nerve problems. You could have a pinched nerve and/or a myriad of other problems. Ruling all of this out will help ensure that there is nothing more serious going on. From there, I would try the detox for the yeast.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi T.,
An overgrowth of yeast is definately related to the problems you've been experiencing. I would urge you check out www.bodyecology.com, take the candida quiz and join the messageboard. The Body Ecology Diet is specifically designed for people who have candidiasis (an overgrowth of yeast). It stresses taking sugars and other yeast feeding foods from the diet and introducing pro-biotics, which you can make at home.
When you have an overgrowth of yeast, it takes over the lining of your digestive system and you cannot digest foods properly. Therefore while you might think you're eating well, the body isn't able to properly extract vitamins and minerals from the foods and you experience many different kinds of aliments- because your digestive system is trying to communcate to you that it is sick.
For me it was headaches, leg cramps and back pain. And for my boyfriend it was shingles and alopecia (his hair started falling out in patches), and for our son it was asthma, allergies and recently (which is what prompted me to start the diet), he was slipping down the slope towards autistic spectrum.
In the past, I just took pain meds (tylenon, whatnot) and Ben's been on asthma medication and Brian has steriods injected for his hair....they were all temporary solutions- a bandaid if you will for a larger problem.
All of these are symptoms of candidiasis. Which happens in part because of our very acidic/processed (sugar/yeast) american diet. Luckily, however this state of the body can be helped and helped greatly if you decide to follow this way of eating.
I don't want to sugar coat it, its definately been a challenge, as there are alot of changes to be made, but the messageboard offers up tons of support, advice and receipes. Please feel free to email me, too- we've been on it for two months now and already I've seen great changes in all of us!
Blessings,
J.

Could be anxiety-related - have you seen a counselor or psychologist/psychiatrist to consider that piece of the puzzle?

Since the doctors have found no reason for your symptoms I would explore alternative therapies.
I had unexplained recurrent sinus pain and infections for over 30 years.
I was referred to Cherie McCoy by my therapist. Although I was hesitant to devote a weekend to a vague and mysterious (to me) sounding group experience I agreed to try it out of desperation.
By participating in her therapeutic workshops I learned to listen to and understand better the messages my body was sending me. Cherie is an intuitive and the countries foremost practitioner of Self Acceptance Training. She helped me heal when no specialist, chiropractor or naturopath could help me. I allowed Cherie to gently and compassionately guide me through a process that revealed the emotional cause of my chronic illness. Once I was able to fully express my emotions the healing began. I have had no symptoms for 8 years. She offers workshops 2 or 3 time a year.
You are in luck because I believe her next weekend workshop is scheduled for September 13 & 14 in Oak Park. Her number in California is ###-###-####.
I think you can also register through her website.
Wishing you wellness.

At the risk of sounding like one of the blind men who were asked to feel an something and report what they thought they were feeling....ya know the old story of one guy feeling the trunk and saying it was a snake, another feeling a leg and saying it was a tree, and the third guy feeling the side and saying it was a walll.... I'll give you my diagnostic impression.

Migraine plus anxiety.

I'm a psychologist, by the way.
I'm wondering what you have done to solve the problem,
Have you taken any nsaids? like ibuprofen? when in the pain cycle? how much? have you tried any anxiety reducing things?
and finally, hey! I am a psychologist and I do consider these things! despite your describing yourself as happily married, etc., there might be some perceptions of the married mom life etc, that is freaking you out a bit.

Hi T. -

I am an RN who works in a neuro ICU. I agree with those who recommend seeing a neurologist. The symptoms may be nothing but that can also be suggestive of a tumor, aneurysm or another neuro condition. It is just not worth the risk of not having it checked out. Look forward to an update.
