Hello everyone, i hope you are all in good mental and physical health. Pardon my English in advance, it's not my mother tongue (I am French).
I am a young mom who desesperately need some help. I will try to explain it shortly.
Since 2020, I felt sick and I struggle to get my health back. I am only 29. I am a mom to two young boys of 4 and 2 years old.
Since 2020, a lot happened : I gave birth to my second son, one month later I had to remove my gallbladder (I already lost my appendix), I was breastfeeding, I was moving abroad (north africa) and it was a lot of stress and emotionnally I was weakened. Just two months after all of this, I lost a ton of weight and I started experiencing a lot of symptoms :
_ panic attacks EVERY SINGLE DAY
_ feeling of doom
_ palpitations
_ PVC'S
_ low blood pressure
_ extreme fatigue
_ loss of appetite
_ diarrhea
_ abdominal issues
_ lot a burping
_ dry hair and skin
_ tetany and spasmophilia attacks which lead me to the ER
The worst is whenever I feel something in my body or a symptom, I imagine the worst, I feel I am going to die. Out of the blue, I became hypocondriac.
It was a painful period of my life, really just thinking about it I want to cry. It was a nightmare. I lost so much money because doctors couldn't figure out what it was.
I had to go back in France and I paid private blood panel :
My homocysteine was slightly above
My pregnenolone was high
Dhea was normal
Cortisol was low
T3 was low in urine but TSH was under 1
Cholesterol was normal even slightly low
ferritin was 45 A LOT THE TIME since getting sick (normally it's so low)
Calcium was low
I started supplementing thyroid being advised by my doc (5 mcg of T3 in the morning and 13mcg of T4 at night) but it was hard as I couldn't eat without feel full, nausea and burping. I did an endoscopy and we discovered chronic gastritis and H pylori in the biopsy.
So it was it ! SICK FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF THAT. I wondered if it didn't create malabsorption and all the deficiencies that lowered my thyroid and created all my sickness.
My doc gave me amoxiciline and clarythromycine with esomeprazole for 10 days. I still feel bad I think it may be because of the stomack inflammation. When I eat I have vertigo (feeling like being on a boat), I have anxiety, migraine, nausea, gerd and so on. I can't digest most of the things and I feel like supplements are not being absorbed. Please I need advices and help, I can't live like this, always going to the ER, being afraid to stay alone with my kids at home, feeling anxious. I lost my job, I lost my quality of life.
I need to understand, why am I feeling like this : I am depleted because of pregnancies and breastfeeding, is it the loss of my gallbladder, is it purely emotionnal stress, h pylori which is stealing my vitamins ?
Thanks in advance, desesperately needing hope...
