Well I will try to make a long story short but I came down with an illness two years ago that started with severe stomach burning and fatigue and over time has turned into severe ibs( constipation), eye pain, severe muscle fasiculations/ monoclonic jerking, joint pain, muscle pain, prostate and urethral pain and spots all over my tongue(geographic tongue).
This is a spot on diagnosis of reactive arthritis, the only issue is that they have no idea what seems to be causing it. So far the only relief I have from this pain is to follow a extremely strict starch free diet. Any deviation from the diet leaves me feeling like my body has the flu, aching all over and joint pain/prostate pain/ eye pain.
Does anyone have experience with this condition? Also worth mentioning is that I am currently being treated with 4 antibiotics for tuberculosis because my infections disease doctor discovered I had latent t.b and decided to treat me for it because it was the only thing he could find wrong with me, but it has not seemed to help much.
I just want my life back! I have made alot of improvements in the past year and I no long feel like life is worthless, but I still suffer greatly and dream of getting back to my pre-sickness state.
I welcome and and all questions and comments.
