I had a good experience at the holistic doctor today. She read all of my previous tests, and somehow I had missed the one that proves that I do have an autoimmune disease. She wants me to get checked for gluten intolerance, since that has been linked to autoimmune diseases and if I do and then start eating a gluten-free diet, that is all I will need to do. It would be a pain in the butt, but I can do it. Especially if that makes me feel human again. I will also get they typical blood tests, so that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I get to fast too. Joy. I get so light-headed. Fun times.
She gave me some things I can be taking to help my foggy mind and my general feeling of irritability. Tried the stuff earlier, and wow it helps. I will be upping my dose a little, but I could already tell it was helping. It's something that I can be doing now while I wait for my tests to come back. The blood one is really quick, but the gluten is a stool one, so I get to poop in a box and send it off. How would you like that job?! Anyway, that one takes something like 3 weeks to get back.
This stuff is expensive initially, but it's past time to feel better.
