Medical Mystery

Finding the the cause, not masking the symptoms 

Feeling stuck :/

Imagine this. Feeling like your energy and life force is being drain out of you. You can’t seem to do your daily activities. Your thinking becomes slow. You feel like a 90 year old person.

You go to the 10 doctors and medical specialists, and they all say you in perfect health. You start to doubt your sanity.

 

My Current Symptoms

Fluctuation. These symptoms seem to change at different times of the day/ week. Which makes it really strange to me. Not being able to plan my week. I can’t seem to find correlations when tracking. last update 8may2021

What helps?

  • Onsen, heat stress
  • Cracking of back, neck hips
  • Fasting
  • Sleep
  • coffee+ sugar
  • Deep breathing
  • Chi nei zhang

Post exertion malaise

Will regret any strenuous activities. Last Sept 2018, installed digital lock, rock climbing, meeting for 30min with client, exhausted for 1 month. Feb 2019 update, Hiking up tree top walk success, cycling 40km success, walking labrador and macrictche seems to be quite tough. Why does it seem like walking and standing is harder than higher intensity activities?

Causes of Sickness

Underlying cause rather than symptom management

Tuberculosis

Diagnose with TB 2016.

Fridge Bed

Yes, a full size fridge next to my bed brewing bacteria. Mostly offed. Got it cause i was hungry all the time. Bacteria infested. Yukes. It was a used fridge passed from another home to my kitchen then my bedroom.

Air-con Trunking

Green and black. 20 years of germ breeding. nourished by rain and condensation from the cold.

Pharmaceutical

1000+ pills of strong antibiotics. Certainly not good for your microbiome or your liver.

Poor Nutrition

Eating Mcdonalds all the time. Chucking coffee. Sugary drinks. High carb load with extra rice or pasta each meal. In school, I will be drinking hot coffee from a melted plastic bottle

Parasites/ SIBO

2015 food poisoning, partial cooked pork patty. Chronic diarrhoea.

Stool analysis 102017 shows : Enterobacter cloacae complex. Klebsiella pneumoniae ssp pneumoniae. Exophiala dermatitidis. Candida albicans

Overachiever

“I must not let any moment be wasted” I had this philosophy. President/ Chair of almost all my CCAs. Took extra modules. worked 25 jobs in 25 years. Yes, almost every holiday. Physically incinerated myself to the ground. DIdn’t give myself a chance to rest. 

Travel

Being an avid traveller, I have travelled to Europe and South East Asia. Including:
Slums in Phillipines, Cambodia, Visiting homeless people in UK

Existential Crisis

Read too much dark philosophy on the meaning and purpose of life. Studied politics which is about power and horrible wars.

Poor Lymphatic/ blood flow? Trapped Cerebral Spinal Fluid?

When I lie down at certain positions, somethings, i feel like fluid is being drained. I feel significantly better after that. It’s like the “close all apps” button being pressed.

At my C5 C6 C7, a choke point of my CSF might be possible, especially when inflamed and bad position

Pinched nerve?

Since cracking/ decompressing my back seems to do wonders at time, I think nerve blockage might be a potential cause despite doctors saying otherwise.

Poor Posture

Flat feet, slouching back, looking at notes, books and phones.
Syrinx at C5,6,7 Disc degeneration c5c6c7t12l1l5s1

Broke my mind

Rock climbing is a mental discipline. Shaking and trembling occurs due to built in fear response. I kept pushing my body and mind way past its limits. Pure exhaustion, stress and deep survival life and death moments.

Heavy Metals

Barium, Cadnium, lead, mercury. Hair mineral test
