I can´t check the ratio as I always just was tested for T3, T4 and TSH. RT3 was never measured.
Liver is unlikely. Because the reaction (flu like) can also come from tiny amounts like 50mg L-Glutamine. Even if I had 90% of my liver disturbed, it should not be a problem. Also think about the substances which cause the problems. They are not toxic or stressing for the liver, at least the most are not. So I do not think it´s a problem with my liver.
I think that it is a problem of my immune system which could be related to many things: Methylation, hormonal imbalances, leaky gut etc.
I can try the coffee enemas for my gut issues. But I am bit afraid about trying them because I react to coffee as you know since this "crash" at the end of my ketogenic diet. I know from experience that also subcutaneous injection of the triggering substances leads to this "allergic" reaction. So when I put coffee into my system, it will get in contact with my cells and this already can lead to the reaction.
This reaction has nothing to do with toxic overload (maybe secondary to that but not primary). It is a reaction of my immune system to many many substances.
I don´t think that the FMT can help me anymore. Because you need to take stool softerners and gut cleansing products which I can´t. You need to eat probiotics and prebiotics after and during treatment which I can´t. You need to eat a healthy diet with many fiber (veggies and fruit) to establish the microbiome which I can´t.
So at this moment I am quite hopeless.
I am sitting here, eating rice and chicken, still having this reaction going on (but at least it is weaker so that I can sleep and don´t have pain). And I have no idea what to do about it.
I react to everything. Yesterday I had an exam and to be able to focus I drank some high quality green tea from Japan. (I drank this one very often before I switched to coffee. It leads to the same reaction Vitamine C and beta carotene does.
What is a bit crazy and maybe very important in finding the cause is, that I very often (not always) notice that the symptoms fade away for a short period of time completely until they come back although I did not eat anything.
So when the "reaction" is running once it has it´s maximums and minimums and these are time dependent. I often notice (not always) that during the night the symptoms are completely gone when I wake up to early at 4/5 am. When I sleep again and wake up at 8 am, they are full blown there.
That´s the reason I thought about it may relate to hormonal fluctuation like cortisol, t3 or whatever.
But it is not always they case. Especially when the reaction is heavy it´s there constant and also: it is just there if I eat. When I stop eating (and before the last weeks if I avided the trigger, which I always knew) the reaction fades away completely within 72 hours...
I wait to get into a clinic right now. I can´t go further anymore alone. I am anxious about my life. Not that I die from this reaction but that I die because I do not want to live this way anymore. I am 27 year young man. This would be my best time, where I could be most productive and building up my life. I don´t think about that often. But when I get depressive because of histamine or if I get anxious because of gut inflammation or whatever, I think about setting all to an end because I do not want to suffer that ways, feeling like I can´t to anything about it.
Look wat I tried in all these years. It is not, that I did not try hard enough. This methylation stuff is not helping me because it works with taking supplements...I don´t tolerate anything right now. I can´t take any supplements. Although I did not try all supplements on the world I react to all supplements I tried in the last months. I even react to fish oil and krill oi which I could take months.
Because I have to use betacarotine a vitamin a free oils, I take too much plant based oils and omega 6. This is leading me to even worse situations long term. But what should I do? I don´t know anything I could do.
That´s the reason why I will go to a clinic as soon as possible. I think my situation is so critical, that I cannot work with functional medicine approach anymore. This would have been possible long time and I tried everything I knew. If I had all the information 4 ears ago I think it never would have ended like this. At this time I could take nearly all supplements. I had then worked with methylation, prebiotics, Paleo diet, maybe LDN when the AI diseases had set on.
You are right with saying that LDN is an option, maybe something like a last option from my perspective. But I think it is too risky to try it on my own without supervision of any MD. Also: If I react to it, I will have to stop immediately. And my experience is: Once having my immune system reacted to a substance in all these years, it never loosed the reaction that stuff. Once detected, always reacting. This was 100% the case in all these years...
Also: Think about the fact that had my first reaction of this type in my young childhood. So it is unlikely that is something which I just earned during life. It seems to be something which I always had in me. So I speak about either genetic reasons AND microbiome, which I have from my mother.
My mother seems to have similar reactions but the heavyness is 5% compared to my reactions. She has just little sweating on head and face sometimes for 1-2 hours. She also had very weak Alopecia areata and she talks about having the same sleeping issues I have when the reaction is there...
But she is 50 years old and I am 27. And i reacted much more heavy early in my life... And the older I get the more substances where triggering the reaction, 90% of them supplements and the rest high vitamin C foods. Now it is als vitamin A/beta carotene...
So I think, that this is an overreaction of my immune system which needs to be shut down, maybe quite aggressive. And maybe if it is shut down, I could work on the methylation cycle?!
EDIT: As I already said: NO CANDIDA, NO SIBO.
Both tested. Candida was tested trhough many stool analyses (8 now, all negtive for candida) and also biopsies were negative for both: candida and H pylori.
I now had to give really broad stool analyses for Taymount. I will get the results within 1-3 weeks. There also everything will be tested gain.
