Hi all,
Hoping for people to share their advice based on the information available. Especially the labs - I am struggling to find a doctor to help me towards good health.
In return I promise to give feedback and not to disappear as soon as I resolve health (isn't that annoying and unhelpful for those looking to find out what worked!)
Environmental:
Work as an office engineer - every couple of days I'll get stressed (around delivering work and presenting). Work stress usually leads to an additional bowel movement.
Currently 27yo, single. Live with housemates and I don't feel lonely. Lots of interactions at work.
Symptoms:
- Mood: Often wake tired, often low energy to face work. My mood doesn't seem consistent.. some afternoons I'll feel drained or spacey for no apparent reason.
- Had acne since I can remember. I currently get a couple of pimples every couple of days, but they take more than a few days to disappear so I end up with a decent amount. Usually form a white head with significant pus.
- 67kg, 6ft, low body fat, hard to put on weight in the gym, muscles don't recover well from the first set.
- Normally cold at extremities, can experience Renaud's when stressed. Morning waking temps are usually around 35.6C and by bed if I am lucky will be 36.3C. Can over heat quite quickly too, though.
- Over the years I have developed psoriasis of quite a few nails (probably exacerbated by a childhood habit of picking). I now also sometimes scratch at my scalp as a similar stress reaction (trying hard to stop this one).
- Don't have a good beard, and my chest and 'snail trail' is basically hairless. I have some hair on my nipples.
- I still notice new moles appearing/ developing and also lonesome black hairs on my back that grow long.
- I have a testicle variocele, and 5-6 smalls calcifications of the testi (revealed on ultrasound).
- Sex drive appears to be good (strong desire every second day). Trying to masturbate less.
Diet:
Peat'ing for 2 months now seriously, previously for last 5 yrs have been some sort of low dairy, gluten free paleo with little success.
Small portion of liver every second day
ground beef (17% fat)
2 fresh oysters every day
2 shots of coffee spread through out the morning
lots of skimmed milk, also consume matured chedder cheese
Fried mushrooms, a handful of leafy salad greens cooked, usually some potato and rice.
3-4 eggs a day (PUFA!).
Only use coconut oil if I need to add oil.
I poach/boil a lot of bananas and apples and mix with gelatin for a sugary snack. Also slurp a bit of honey.
Don't have a good OJ source, so it is rare at the moment.
Bamboo shoots / carrot salads
Analysing one typical day ~2300calories, 34% carbs, 38% fats (mostly from cheese and ground beef), 28% protein.
Supplements:
Life extension Super K (contains some MK7 as well) - I take this every other day as I think I attributed aching bones to too much MK7.
Now Vitamin E 400IU applied to the skin every night.
Small dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms every fortnight to relax and meditate. Usually uplifts mood, also small amount has quite a pronounced and noticeable effect for me.
I have cyproheptadine now also to try on occasion but won't use it regularly. 1mg had quite a pronounced effect also.
Every few days I'll take 150mg Aspirin
Magnesium Glycinate every night
Egg shell calcium every night (a little slack with this)
I get about 10-15minutes of incandescent light shined on me before bed (150W, spot light, feels slightly warm on skin).
