Feel hungover without drinking and a host of other problems
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!

The only thing that helps me is Cannabinoids. I can't use it during the day because I have to work, but after the day is over, I smoke some weed and feel okay. (I refuse to become a pot-head) Otherwise I am hung over and sick sick sick sick, with no alcohol. It totally *****. No one understands it either, especially doctors. Luckily I live in California and have a med-card.
I have a lot of the symptoms listed in these comments. I was first diagnosed with hashimotos 2 years ago, when the treatment did nothing I went to a holistic Dr. She ran a series of tests and found that I have lyme and co-infections. I'm not saying that you all have lyme but it's a very real possibility. Only 40 percent of those bitten will get a bullseye rash, if you get tested, for it try the Western Blot, the ELISA test is not reliable, though if you've had it for some time even your antibodies might be gone now. Chronic infection can also be detected through other means, such as extremely low iron, magnesium deficiency (specific to lyme), vit D deficiency, and chronic inflammation. Read up on Lyme and see if the symptoms ring true for you and find a DR. who will do the appropriate tests. If you can't get antibitoics because of lack of insurance you can also take the herbal route. Please take care!! <3
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.
