Hello everyone,
I´ve had chronic sinusitis for 3.5 years. It´s a constant sinus pressure day in and day out, non stop, but without runny/stuffy nose. This is accompanied by brain fog, blurry vision, dizziness, head twitching, lifeless look in my eyes, difficulty walking straight etc. I got this sinusitis verified through a neurologist and MRI scan of my head. The doctor said it is a mild one, and that it is harmless and should go away by itself. But it never does.
I´m also super sensitive to stress, have high social anxiety, depression, apathy, no emotions but sometimes extreme aggression and frustration. Stress can cause me to have bouts of extreme anxiety to the point where I feel like I´m going insane. Confusion. Puffy nipples. It gets worse the more I try to fix this. I found Ray Peat some 40 days ago. Began drinking coffee around 20 days ago, and had a huge stress response + insomnia for 8 days. Usually 5-6 cups of normal brew everyday. One day I had the same amount, but 4x stronger, and had an extreme stress response, to the point where I felt psychotic.
I tried Jack Kruse´s stuff for 10 months and it only made me worse. I occasionally had extreme reactions to some types of fish and DHA, like vomiting and allergic reactions.
When I was 21 yo I had a lot of acne and because of this started experimenting with diets. Eventually found Paleo, and my acne vanished like magic, with very little scarring too. So I was convinced that low carb / Paleo was the answer and doubled down. I got into some bodybuilding stuff and found a guy who ate raw meat and raw eggs, and started doing the same thing. So for a long time I used to consume from 10 to, believe it or not, up to 30 raw eggs a day. For the most part the cheapest, lowest quality supermarket eggs. I also ate a lot of fatty raw meat, the cheapest stuff too. I did low carb for around 4 years, also tried zero carb for a year, and ketogenic diets here and there. This completely ****88 up my glucose tolerance too.
I´m now convinced low carb / ketogenic is dangerous long term, and I can´t fathom how I could be so stupid and not being able to think more critically. It´s like I was in some kind of a trance.
I suspect that my symptoms are caused by PUFA accumulation in my liver and tissue, from the eggs and the meat I consumed, and that this creates endotoxins or something, and this leads to me having chronic sinusitis. I also think I have high serotonin and estrogen because of this. Last year when I was on a camping trip in the mountains, there was very strong sun, and I got some acne formation on the skin right above my liver, and also got really bad sunburn with blisters and skin scaling. These days I feel some kicking in my liver, the more coffee I drink.
I also haven´t had a fever/flu in over a year now. Can the PUFA also suppress my immune system? Maybe immunosuppression can lead to this chronic sinusitis? The low carb probably suppressed my immune system too. I have now for over a month switched to a high sugar/carb, medium protein, low fat diet.
My diet is mainly 1% milk, orange juice, white sugar, honey, grapes, 200-400g low fat minced beef, coffee, butter, sea salt, soda. Sometimes potatoes.
Can PUFA overload be the reason for my symptoms, and mainly chronic sinusitis?
I´m a 26 year old male, otherwise lean and healthy. I had blood tests two months ago which showed Vit D and Folate deficiency, and a little bit high blood sugar. (vit D was 65, should be 75 to 100+)(folate was 9, should be 20-40 according to the doctor).
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for reading.
