Inevitable inaccuracies and missing things.
Several throat illnesses as child and adolescent and continued through college, post college, and after I got sick, until it became chronic. Sometimes strep found when it was checked as a child and adolescent. Took amoxicillin for strep many times.
Frequent gi infections as child and adolescent – Hospitalized a few times in childhood and adolescence.
Severe constipation for a period in childhood with regular enemas and a hospital visit
Eczema – onset birth or childhood
Dark under eyes and eyelids – onset childhood. Fluctuates.
Asthma – onset childhood. Exercise induced. Triggers increased over the years. Marked worsening post lung illness 2017. Continued to worsen with more environmental reactivity. As of 2021, slightly improved due to treatment
Difficulty in sun – onset childhood. Worsened after illness and continued to worsen over the years
Symptoms diagnosed as add – childhood. Needing extra test time
Joint hypermobility – birth
Impetigo as adolescent
Coxsackie mouth sores in childhood (and adolescent?)
Premenstrual symptoms – onset sometime in teenagehood. Swollen breasts, irritation, anger, upsetness. Became severe 2019 with two weeks of symptoms each month before menstruation. Progressively getting better in 2020 and 2021 with increases in progesterone cream and acupuncture
Endometriosis and adenomyosis symptoms – some pain present sometimes since menarch or a couple years shortly thereafter, marked increase onset 2015 following two month amenorrhea, with vaginal swelling and worse cramp pain on my period. Worsened over years to highly severe level. Widespread debilitating pain in increasing locations, faintness, nausea. Decreased symptoms begun 2020 with treatment
Get hoarse voice easily from singing or shouting – onset don’t remember. Young teen? Marked worsening at some point post infection 2013 or after.
Bladder frequency, urgency, incontinence – onset childhood. Marked worsening in college. Worsening in 2015. Worsening in 2019.
Chronic back pain – onset don’t remember. Teenager or before. Marked worsening 2014 and frequent debilitating “going out”. Gradual worsening over the years.
Feeling “weird” and depressed followed by heightened emotions of pain – onset 2006. No significant life events immediately preceding. Connection to strep and infection not made at the time so no timeline of infection and re exposure available. It came on over the course of a month. Any natural progression is confounded by having trialed a number of psychiatric medications after that, all of which I responded adversely to ranging from mania from one drug, a thyroid nodule and vomiting to another, other adverse responses, to a severe allergic reaction to another. Riskier drugs like off label antipsychotics and a bipolar drug were chosen after I developed mania on the first antidepressant, on the fear that the mania was a natural progression, even though it clearly subsided after that antidepressant and bipolar was later declared a misdiagnosis. Developed high anxiety and total isolation tendencies and stronger distressing emotions over this period. Did not attend senior year and refused to see my friends and kept isolated from family for this period. This is in contrast from being extremely socially outgoing and having a large number of friends I was constantly communicating with. Other emotions experienced were anger and fears about things. At one point in the course of trialing the last drug I trialed I was not speaking clearly. This not speaking clearly subsided to whatever degree after being off drugs and taking a certain supplement (not a first person account. Don't remember), before I then developed ocd and tics a couple months later. The not speaking clearly resolved within a couple months I believe. Acute distressing emotions subsided in the same period possibly. Isolation changed to being social again. But there was lasting damage to my functioning, in addition to the ocd. This is in retrospect and my memory of this period isn't clear.
Ocd and tics – onset 2007. Age 17. It came on either in days or over the course of weeks. Connection to strep and infection not made at the time so no timeline of infection and re exposure available. First symptoms I noticed were needing to do certain movements repetitively. That seemed to come on suddenly and was obvious to me it was ocd after a short time. It quickly progressed to many symptoms and urges for repetitive movements. Thoughts and actions. This recollection is in retrospect so I don’t know if I’m getting it all right. Worsening of ocd post infection 2013 and continued to worsen over years and then remained at that level. Stereotypically ocd actions and movements that would be identified that way are kept concealed and done in private.

Disorientation – acute onset with or post infection 2013. Worsened and different kinds added as years went on. As of 2021 baseline is much better but it fluctuates. It effects my life less and is much less severe overall, but still occurs frequently and intermittently. There's also still background levels of not being oriented to things cognitively in terms of my conceptualization of them. Confusion.
Confusion – acute onset with or post infection 2013. Widespread. My orientation to life and myself and confusion about almost everything. Things unfamiliar. At first onset one of the presentation of confusion looked like not knowing who I was or where I was or what the things around me were sometimes. Confusion and unfamiliarity became greater in many ways 2015 but after the first acute period of onset in 2013 I was more in touch with what a person is and what things around me are in the most basic sense, although that was still confusing too. Improved during treatment in 2019 and continues to improve. As of 2021, feel much less confused about everything but background not knowing how to orient to things or how to conceptualize them still there, just less. Fluctuates too.

Has changed over the years where symptoms have stopped and come back and some don’t show up anymore and some new ones begin. Different symptoms during different times in my life with some overlap.
