Hi everyone
Well, I've discovered this forum few months ago, I read it on a regular basis and decided to tell my history too.
I'm female, 25 y o from Brazil.
I've never had any kind of serious diseases in my life, even that child diseases never happened to me, but I've always being midly allergic, and always had amigdalitis/ tonsilitis problems.
My tonsils have lots of micro cavities, where sometimes formed some bad smelling calculus called caseum.
Sometimes I felt I had bad breath, and excessive mucus on my throath but nothing too serious, and never caused major problems.
But it was like 1 year and a half ago, I began to notice that my boyfriend and other people sometimes scratched their noses, but only when I was speaking, so I thought I had bad breath. Although in that time it was still occasional, not very frequent.
I was already depressed with other stuff, and this began to get me very depressed. I began to heavily smoke marijuana ( I mean very heavy) and even began to go to a psychologist that didn't help.
So I had an episode of psicosis, and stayed a while in a mental clinic, that was so terrible. I was literally out of reality, imagining stuff, very paranoid. I took antipsicotic medication, and that made me gain a lot of weight in a short period of time (before I was 125.4 and I'm 5'7"). When I realized what was happening, I got better really fast, and as soon as 1 or 2 weeks I was working and studying again, and began to take that herbalife milkshake for loosing the weight I had gained (I jumped from 125 to 134 )and keep it till I was 118 lbs.
By this time, I decided to put bracers on my teeth, and so I became even more paranoid about bad breath, I washed my mouth and brushed my tooth, lots of time per day, used all kind of bucal higiene products, floss, even propolis, and vanilla, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, even perfume on my mouth. I was desperate, so I began to ask people if I was with bad breath, first I asked my boyfriend, and he said my mouth was smelling like baby smell, I thought he was lying so I began to ask my mother, my sister, and other people, and everybody said the same, "your mouth don't smell bad, it smell very good", So I thought I was crazy, how come people scratch their noses when I speak if my mouth is smelling good. Well it was like this for months, till it got worse. I began to notice people scratching their nose around me even when I was not talking.
I had an inflamation on my right wisdom tooth that was still inside my gum, so I thought that was the problem because it smelled very bad, and I decided to extract it. As soon as I got home I began to feel like needles on my skin, and thought it was due to the anesthesia ( i had never take one before).
I took amoxicilin and antiinflammatory for some time, and had some stomach issues due to the antiinflammatory that I kinda overdosed ( took it every four hours, and it was to be taken every 8 hours).
After extracting my teeth the sintomps of PATM began to show really hard. At work, at home, at college people began to sneeze, cough, and scratch their noses very hard when I was around. I was suffering so much I decided to tell my boyfriend, wich began really worried thinking I was psicotic again, saying it was all in my head. It's really hard to share it with people in my family, because they will always think I'm schizofrenic ( I have schizofrenia cases in the family) or psicotic. But It is not, I was normally going to college, work, and enjoying very much till this stuff began to be unbearable. I have even coonsidered killing myself, but I didn't had the courage enough to do it.
I tried antiallergic, tried stop eating carbs, or eating very little of it (I'm was already skinny, and due to diet I'm loosing more weigth, and worried about it, I'm around 112 right now), I went on probiotics, suplements, but nothing helped.
I still try to take a healthy diet, but sometimes I go on carbs and sweets, otherwise I keep just loosing weight.
After reading thhis forum i cchanged many things in my routine, and I'm using mostly baby products (neutral perfum, soap, shampoo and (very little) conditioner).
Even now I don't get sick often, I never have fever and very rare to get cold symptons. all I feel and like pins and needles itches in my body, tingling parts of the body, my nails are sort of a purple hue, with no lunulas on it (only in my big toes, but i used to have in all except in the pinkie). Sometimes I feel tingling in my some parts of my head, I feel discouraged and sad. Sometimes I also have itchy nose and eyes, and white stuff on my tongue.
I used to be very good looking, and now I feel ugly and disgraced, i have very profond darkness in the inner corner of my eyes and always a tired look. My hair and my nails are dull, my skin is excessively oily in the T zone, and veery dry on the other parts, especially around my eyes. I even got some white hair growing in my scalp, and some wrinkles on my face. I used to be recognized for being a very creative and intelligent person. I'm a computer programmer, so I rely very much on my brains, that are disappointing me. My memory is terrible, I feel kinda lethargic and dumb.
in other words, it ruined my life.
I'm really confused, I told all I remembered, but still can't figure out exactly what caused my patm... It can be my throath, amigdalitis problem? it can be the antipsicotic drugs? it can be stress, depression? it can be the river water I used to drink when I used to go camping? it can be some sort of stuff on my bracers? or something i didn't figure out?
I just didn't commit suicide yet because I began to take antidepressant pills, and it make me feel lazy about it. Also because of my parents and boyfriend. But I'm afraid of what can happen, and can't see what hope of my future.

I have felt like killing myself too. I was in the hosptial a fews weeks ago because of this...I think my mistake was putting too much trust in western dr.'s...they couldn't help me. Naturopathic dr.s seem so much more helpful....I was thinking maybe it's just not one thing, maybe it's a whole bunch of ailments that could be causing this PATM...who knows. Some of my conclusions is that it's something that feeds on sugar and carbs and our PATM gets worse and when our body temp. rises the PATM gets worse too.
Hey!
I can see myself in your complaints, i also have patm. This **** is really annoying, i also had the feeling of killing myself.
But have you tested for Candida? This is what is causing my patm for sure! And you should take the candida Diet really seriously and try to have as less stress is possible.
With me it started with candida and a lot of stress.
I feel for you! Just keep up your life! Dont give a **** about people around you! Take Oregano oil and put it in your nose sometimes. Not pure mix it with olive oil, and you wil see reactions will be less.
I just started the candida diet, its really hard! But you should do it! You have to change your way of life! Well many goodluck!
