Feel hungover without drinking and a host of other problems

[Sarah26]

Hello, I'm writing for my husband who is 36. He has been 'ill' for about 2 and a half years now and the doctors haven't been much help. His main problems are with his stomach, eating causes nausea and stomach pains mainly in the upper quadrant, sometimes lower. Sometimes he feels sick before he's even finished his meal. He's had a CBC done and also been checked for H. Pylori, all clear. The GP hasn't been interested in sending for more tests, just writes a prescription for Zantac. If his only problem was his stomach, I wouldn't be that concerned, but he also suffers from joint pain, muscle pain, extreme fatigue, blurred vision, headaches, occasional pins and needles and 'burning', and the oddest symptom to me is that he wakes up in the mornings feeling hungover even though he's not had a drink. I keep thinking it's a food sensitivity, as he feels the worst after eating. I've researched the hangover bit myself and the only thing I found that was medical related was gut fermentation caused by overgrowth of yeast in the gut.ALL of his symptoms match. I was wondering what other people thought or if anyone had any other suggestions. He has yet another Dr Appt in a few days and this time I want him to be armed with some info, because the GP's around here try to fob you off as much as possible. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers!

I'm on the path to getting a diagnosis for similar symptoms. As of right now I have been diagnosed with Undifferentiated Connected Tissue Disease with possible Fibromyalga.  The more people I talk to tell me to also go to a Lymes specialist to test for that.  I recently read an article that stated medical research has found more and more people have been diagnosed with Lymes without any recall of the classic tick bite and skin rash.  Lymes is also a tricky diagnosis and there has been a lot of false negatives until patients go to a Lyme specialists for a full work up.  The article also stated that people may contract Lymes years (even decades) before a diagnosis because early symptoms may be too non-discript and isolated, that doctors only treat any one symptom at a time I.e. stomach trouble, head aches, fatigue, insomnia, flu, muscle aches, hair loss, eye disruption, rashes etc... Bottom line, Lymes can be the route of all of these autoimmune diagnosis.  For those of you that have a similar diagnosis as me, lets all collectively go get a lymes work up to rule it out or learn that Lymes is in fact part of the problem. We can treat ourselves better, be on the road to better health.  I'm going to the Dr's in two weeks.....I will keep you all posted

One more thing I have been researching is the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol diet, I havent started it yet because we are still in Summer Vacation mode, but the diet supposedly has helped thousands of people just like us. I would much rather treat myself holistically than have to live on Plaquenil.

Hello all! I have been cured of the 'feel hungover without drinking' !! For several years I suffered all the symptoms mentioned above.It seemed to get worse until I felt so bad that I wondered if I would die in my sleep. By coincidence, I found out about bioresonance diagnostics and therapy and found a practitioner who had the diagnostic machine that discovered the source of my problem.
The machine test result showed that I had a virus which had been occupying my organs for many years. The Practitioner gave me four bioresonance treatments of one hour each with a week rest in between. It is also known as 'zapping'.
The hangover feeling is caused by toxicity ( think of having been intoxicated ) --it doesn't matter whether it's by alcohol, bacteria, parasites or allergies etc and is the liver trying to clean out the toxins.
For about 3 weeks after my treatments I felt really wiped out, but the Practitioner told me that was because after years of accumulating toxins from the virus, my liver had to work even harder to get rid of the debri left by the now destroyed virus.
After a month, another test pronounced me free of the virus and I now feel like a new person!
For more info go to youtube ' how bioresonance scanning works'.
Some practitioers recomend a liver cleanse after the bioresonance.
Ther is also a home macine--google  'does the hulda clarke zapper really work'
This treatment has worked for a number of people I know and for me it worked a 100%!!!!!

Hi Everyone

There is a stomach condition that you may not be familiarly. Its called SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) Just type it in google and you will get lots of info.

In a nutshell the bacteria that helps you digested food is in the wrong place.Its in the small intestine. This can cause all sorts of unpleasant symptoms.

Some of them mentioned in your posts. I was diagnosed with it in 2007. It can be treated with medication but the Private consultant I saw said in his long years of experience the best way is to control the the condition is with your diet

Obviously that was 7 years ago so their might be better methods or medication. Please don't suffer its a horrible condition so goggle it now and hopefully get the right treatment and info.

If you want any more help just reply

Hi, I feel like this constantly too.  Have been struggling with the hang-over feeling and thirst, numbness in my limbs (almost always in bed at night but on a couple of occassions during the day), neck pain that's been going on for about 3 years.  Physio/acupuncture/naturapath/drs haven't been able to help.  I haven't worn a regular bra in that long - only strapless for me.  I wear a mouthguard to prevent teethgrinding which helped the headaches I was getting.  I have hypothyroidism but that's under control - I find the whole thyroid much more helpful than the synthetic but these other symptoms are outside of that diagnosis.  I also ended up with a fungal nail infection and was put on heavy antifungal meds.  I felt much better whilst taking them but my doctor didn't want to continue them as my liver was struggling (despite my feeling better than I had in ages).  I think because of that that there is a fungal component to it.  I need to do the antifungal diet but it just seems so hard and I'm a vegetarian so the diet doesn't offer much variety.  Has anyone found the answer yet?
