longterm stress/poor diet/too much protein and dairy mucks up hormone quantities within the body. Hormone imbalance over a long period affects glands. Glands run the body's hormones and temperature etc.

It definitely could be stress, but in my case they suspect what is called Lactogenic drugs to have been the cause. Maybe both contributed. Whatever. I'm so not going to stress more than I should.

thank you so much for the visualizations of me being healthy. I am sure they are working. Symptoms are still there but I feel stronger.

By the way. If this is how it feels to be pregnant... Well, I told my mother today to not hold her breath for grandkids from me. My sister is her only hope in that department. I never want to feel like this EVER again.

edit: my thyroids are functioning at normal levels.

I'm on birth control to minimize blood loss during menstruation. I don't have any implants. My mom suspected the kidneys but they are functioning normally.

The lactogenic drug was a nausea pill called Contromet that I'd been taking with my upset stomach for quite some time. As I said, these are just speculations. Actually you and my mom suspect the same things because she also wondered about parasites.

Yeah, I hope this will be over soon. I'm so tired.

I am so glad you are starting to get answers. Maybe you will feel better than you ever have when this is all over.

You are spot on with "Helicobacter pylori". Clark says it predisposes cancer and i think she is right on this one... and yeah, it's nasty lil critter

It's lovely to find like-minded people in the world... who think about what we eat and where it comes from. Meat is a big parasite keeper.

The MRIs were clear. This, to me, is good. It doesn't explain the symptoms though.

After a week or so of injections, I'm feeling much stronger. I noticed that yesterday I cared how I looked, whereas, last week, I hardly even had the strength to brush my hair. Yesterday I did my hair and even wore high heels, which I was afraid of doing because of the dizziness. I'm still dizzy but I'm better.

Funny story.

I make a sorry vegetarian. Today I smelled fish out of nowhere. I then ordered my sister to drive to a seafood place. I bought the food and just about managed to control myself from eating it in the car. When we got home, I didn't realize how savage I was eating it until my sis and friend were staring. Then, when I was done eating mine, I asked for my sister's portion. My nose was even sweating. After I was done eating, I felt sick, but it felt worth the nausea afterward. I almost tackled my sister when she was taking long to pass the fish to me.

I felt like an animal. Now I feel disgusted but only due to the fact that fish doesn't sound appetizing anymore. It feels like a dream. Before this I had no desire for food but eggs, and I'd already had eggs in the morning.

The only answers for you will come from within... that is where we are all being pushed to look right now...inside.

Anyway, excuses aside:

koi- dharlink... The KFC Twister was the sign. I ended up damaging fish instead. I think my body was asking for protein. Thanks for the well wishes. I am feeling much stronger than before.

Spanky Butler - lolol I love LOVE lolcatz so thank you very much for cheering me up.

Ami - Ja, I think SunChild takes that "transfusion" if I remember correctly, a greenish powder, I think she once said. I need some of that.

pire - I've missed you soooooo much. I love Bob Sinclair, by the way. The songs were lovely to hear. {{{{hugs}}}}

vapor - Yeah, I am feeling mcuh better. Thank you.

Cpn - I am most definitely feeling stronger. I tire easily but I am much better than I was. {{{{hugs}}}

teasel - hey sweets.

Zala - I know you were asking about that day but I'll answer for today. I am feeling much better. As long as I rest, i feel ok. If I over exert myself, I start regressing. But I am fine now.

WinkAway - Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, you've been MIA and missed.

Glaucus - Those keywords for Haumea are true to me.

belgz - I did remember diet as your lolcat said. I ate a fish like a kitty. lol

Yin - yes, I am getting better. I never thought I'd feel better considering how I felt a few weeks earlier. lol

GypseeWind -

mermaid26 - WTF? lol. You had so much going on with you!!!!! That's unbelievable! Wow! How are you doing now?

Did I mention Ami? Thank you sweetheart.

AbsintheDragonfly - Thank you so much!

GotGemini - It seems that everything is getting to be alright.

Diana - If you're psychic, does he lurv me too? hahahaha kidding.

fatinkerbell - lol, okay, okay... I'll try not to die, for crying out loud. hahaha.

kindredcayce - Thank you, and I am definitely researching to see what's going on because doctors can't do it alone. They see 20 patients or so in a day and I am merely one of many. They can miss something... So, the patient much take initiative. I agree.

MVM - yeah, I suspect something to do with protein. Fish is my worst meat to eat. I hated fish and I have eaten less fish than any other meat in my life because it is just WRONG. But, I ate it the other day. So... who knows what's going on with me.

ORBM - You can say that again. If not for the Prolactin levels, Hb and Iron levels - I'd think that I was insane because I felt much too terrible for just a little anemia (I thought). It is weird though when the blood tests say one thing and the MRI says another.

Update:

I am now on hormone correction treatment, to decrease my Prolactin levels. I am going to be tested in 2 weeks to see if there is any progress.

I got my last Iron (blood) injection yesterday and I shall do tests in a few months to see whether my blood has healed. I am also taking iron supplements.

The doctor said I must just imagine that I am pregnant. She said that the constant nausea is like my morning sickness, and the headaches are due to the pituitary gland being over active. A neurologist was consulted and he said that many times, the pituitary gland doesn't show up clearly in MRIs, and that it's actually common that blood tests say differently to the MRI, and that's why they put me in hormone treatment because I obviously have Hyperprolactinaemia

To answer your question MVM - I have hectic pains, but they have subsided by taking the contraceptive pill called Yaz. I'll take your suggestions though. Thanks a mil.

Ciao....
