I am a 49 year old man from Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. I started to suffer from anxiety disorder in March 2002 to late May 2002. But on Saturday, June 1st 2002, at about 11.20pm, I was struck with distorted thinking which lasted for about two weeks. Worse was to come - on Saturday, June 15th 2002, around midday, a psychopathic obsession struck me from nowhere - thoughts and urges to become a super foe of God and the whole universe! Plans to kill God and for me to become a wicked ruler of the universe came into my mind! THESE NEW EVIL PERSONALITY TRAITS LASTED FOR MONTHS! I was absolutely terrified! During early July 2002, I got afflicted with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome of my head! Frankly, I suffered from a new form of tiredness - a toxic, poisonous, irritable form of tiredness that never leaves me 24/7! And I still got it right up to this present day! In May 2006, I was put on Fluoxetine. This significantly reduced my evil thoughts and urges within about two months. BUT NOTHING COULD CURE MY CHRONIC DEPRESSIVE HEAD FATIGUE SYNDROME. (By the way, I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder, depression and OCD in May 2006). I have to rest on the sofa every day during the day for an average of two hours! It's a living hell carrying my rotten, tired skull everywhere I walk!! Extra rest and sleep doesn't help at all!! Please tell me what on earth is wrong with me?
After 3 weeks I felt better than I have in 10 years. My anxiety and OCD vanished along with my other symptoms. As I added back each milk and soy and all of the symptoms returned.
Here is how it works for me. If I accidentally have a trace amount of soy for example, I will get immediate stomach discomfort, but then 2 DAYS later I get all of the mental disorder symptoms back and it lasts for 2 WEEKS. This is why it is so hard to nail down what food you are allergic to.
Make a food log and if you feel worsening symptoms, consider what you ate up to 2 days ago. There is no cheating on this kind of diet. Trace amounts make me feel like I’m dying for 2 weeks. No ice cream is worth that hell. Make a commitment and eliminate dairy, soy, eggs, wheat, nuts, seafood for 3 weeks and see how you feel. If your symptoms are better, add one food type back in one week at a time. 80% of people with a food allergy are affected by more than one allergen so don’t stop when you find one culprit.
Hope this helps, good luck!
