Hi all,
I've been progressively getting sicker over time since 2009, when I started to have severe digestive issues. It has since progressed to a host of multiple chronic conditions which have rendered me disabled and most of the time unable to move or stand for long periods of time.
These are my current diagnoses (will add more if I forget, I have severe brain fog and fatigue):
Since then, I have only got worse, I've seen hundreds of doctors in NYC and fought for years to even get them to test me for anything! Always the same "you're too young to be sick, it's in your head, you need antidepressants not medical help..." It wasn't until I found a doctor who believed me and did multiple scans was I able to get Dx with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which she told me I had for a while before that.
I finally had enough of NYC and doctors there, I was able to leave by last January, and I now live in CT, which so far seems to have better medical care. I went to the University of Bridgeport Naturopath Clinic (UB Clinic), and had blood and urine drawn for the Nutreval test. Attached is my results.
Please help me interpret these results as I am desperate for answers and solutions. I have been suffering for years and my health is only getting worse. Two years ago I could walk 20+ blocks in NYC, now I can't even walk to the bathroom some days. Medical doctors are taking forever to do anything, and the tests always come back without answers. I have to fight to get certain tests done, while I live in pain and anxiety every day. Thank you for any help!

- Fibromyalgia
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- GERD/Barrett's Esophagus
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- PCOS (Endometriosis dx pending)
- POTS/Dysautonomia
- CFS
- Osteopenia
- Multiple dietary intolerances (no dairy, gluten, nightshades, high sugar, high fat, tumeric, eggs, caffeine/stimulants, glutamates, beef, pork, chicken only in small amounts, bananas, "gums" like xanthan). I have test results for this.
- Strange glutamate (umami) reaction resulting in anaphylactic-like symptoms.
- Un-Dx'd throat condition resulting in severe stringy, thick clear/whitish mucus (that doesn't wash away without pressured water in the sink) and inability to swallow anything hard or stringy (very easy to choke, waking up in the nights/mornings needing to expel mucus, inability to tolerate sugars or other trigger foods such as dairy which coagulate into globs of mucus). I drink plenty of water (2 liters a day), I've had all sorts of tests done, no leads.
