Over the past several months off and on and more recently, almost daily, I've had this feeling of malaise and low fevers.  The malaise feels like I am getting sick... that wave of sickness coming on where I get overheated or get chills, have a foggy head, maybe a little achy, low energy, fatigue, etc.  And my fever is in the upper 98s (I usually run in the 97s) and up to 99.5.  It comes and goes.  I can have several hours or a whole day of feeling normal (I even worked out yesterday!) but then it just comes back again.  I have gotten a full blown cold/sinus infection/cough a few times already this season, which is much more than I ever have before.  

For some reason, it seems like my immunity is down. I've gotten tested for several viruses and all sorts of things, but no clear indication of something that could be weakening my immune system.  

I was on the GAPS regimen for about 6 weeks but showed no improvement and am back to eating small portions of properly prepared grains.  

I do have digestive issues, but don't seem to have any specific foods that trigger reactions.  

A few things I DO KNOW:

  • I have a low/slow thyroid
  • Probably have adrenal fatigue
  • I have somewhat low iron store levels (ferritin) 
  • Possible mild case of crohns (had a colonoscopy and dr saw mucous and inflammation that looked like crohns, but tests came back negative)
  • I get these sneezing fits every once in a while-- where I sneeze dozens of times in one day and then it just goes away... does not appear to be linked to any specific food.
  • I tend towards constipation, but doing pretty well lately
  • My hair is falling out more than ever before (could be thyroid, could be stress)

I eat a 100% clean diet of real food and make everything at home... no packaged food, no preservatives, all straight from the farm real food.  

I would love any suggestions!  

Thank you!!!

WOW!  Thanks again so much for all of this information!  

I do not currently have health insurance so I can not see a practitioner or get blood work done, but I did a ton of lab work back in the fall, so it shouldn't be too different.

Have either of you (or anyone else reading this) experienced circulation issues?  I seem to get pins and needles in my hands, arms and sometimes feet/legs pretty easily.  

And I have speculated (and seen in tests) that there is a protein absorption issue... so makes sense that all of these things tend to be linked together.  Re: the liver, my acupuncturist has mentioned for a long time that I have a stagnant liver... gotta get things moving!

Here's my question: This is A LOT to do.  I totally dig the idea of the chakra massage and I can easily make that mixture at home and do it, as well as the castor oil packs and a lot more, but are there some MAJOR ones recommended?  And if I can't get the supplements right now, do you think that's okay?  

Also, ladies-  would you mind (when you get a chance) to write out your daily routine?  Since this is a lot to add in, and a lot of foods, I would love to know how and when you add these into your day.  I have a flexible schedule and I work from home, so I can make it work, but would love to read your structure to see how it works in real life.

Thank you so much!!

research "low dose naltrexone" or LDN.  I know a number of parkinson's patients who use dextromethorphan 4.5 mg (found in Children's triaminic long acting cough syrup--pure dextromethorphan without additives for allergies, etc.) in place of low dose naltrexone because they cannot find anyone to order naltrexone.  there are forums on Yahoo devoted to LDN therapies.  it has been studied in Crohns more than any other disease (?univ of Pittsburgh I think).  use is to increase immunity.

I would also stop eating all gluten.  with GI issues and immune problems, I would start there.

best of luck, madelyn
