autoimmune

Years back in Asia I contracted Entomaeba Hytolitica which caused heavy fatigue. I was diagnosed by zygmoidoscopy, treated with Metronidazole but never recovered from tiredness & developed facial age spots at 37, dietary sensitivities, some slight joint tenderness, very salty or bitter perspiration, deep wrinkles at forehead, inability to endure workout/exercise or physical stress without looking like I need a ambulance. My appearance declined immediately, which was the major issue I would say! What tests might I consider? Thanks.

Actually I tested neg for sprue which, years later and after many trips to s. Asia is good! I've always had 15+ hemoglobin, etc. ( I was just reading up on sprue.) Thanks again.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll keep it in mind. I stay in south India part of the year. Do you think an Apollo hospital or CMC would be able to do some tests? I did test neg. for celiac about 3 years ago & I do upon occasion take care with the hydration so I know I'm not always dehydrated at least!

Hi!
I am sorry to hear what you have been going through. Since you have dietary sensitivities along with aging skin you must rule out vitamin B12, iron and vitamin D deficiency. Dehydration is another possibility. It can also be due to Crohn’s disease or celiac disease. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
