Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
im currently living abroad in asia.ive been here for almost exactly a year. during my time here i got very sick with cellulitis (3 times) and within the past 6 months began suffering from severe ibs symptoms. my doctor at home said that i probably have ibs and fm, but he cannot truly diagnose me without seeing me. doctors here dont speak english well and have different names for illnesses, anyway, so ive had a difficult time getting a straight diagnosis.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- i find that my worst triggers for ibs/fm symptoms are meats!! when i cut those out of my diet, the mornings are a lot more tolerable. however, lately, ive been getting extremely dizzy and im wondering if im not getting enough protein.
- High Fiber Diet Working / Worked
- i eat plenty of high fiber cereal or granola bars daily. before, i was often constipated, going weeks at a time without bm. now things aren't ideal, but they've evened out a good deal.
- Running Working / Worked
- I'm finding that when I stick to primarily soluble fibers and run daily, the symptoms are not as severe. However, lately I've been getting EXTREMELY dizzy. I'm wondering if I'm not getting enough protein. I've been avoiding meat and instead subbing in fish and nuts because for whatever reason, meat seems to be a pretty terrible trigger for symptoms.
Close Fibromyalgia
im not even actually sure that i have fm.. it was suggested to me by my doctor in america, but ive been living in korea for the past year and health care is.. different here. however, i am fairly certain i have ibs and a vast majority of very painful fm symptoms and am looking for a way to control them from my current environment.
Treatments
- Heat Working / Worked
- eases the pain a bit, but really not enough
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- i try to run and bike every day. it seems to ease some of the pain a bit. however lately ive been getting REALLY dizzy so the running has been a struggle.
Open Anxiety
generalized anxiety disorder - since about the age of 15, although thinking back, im pretty sure ive always had it. it varies in severity.. seems to go through cycles. im currently on zoloft (have been for the past 3 years) and xanax (past year). i dont remember the names of the meds i took in hs/early college years.
Treatments
- Breathwork Working / Worked
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Zoloft Working / Worked
Open Hemorrhoids
