As a kid I had plenty of sunshine, lots of fish, cod liver oil every morning (icky!) veggies and fresh foods but I was sickly. I caught every childhood disease, so had plenty of anti-bodies to illnesses built up. Hmm I had allergies too.
So I can see my body getting overactive, and still attacking itself, even when the illness was gone. Autoimmunity to inflammatory. |
I've been able to go back to about 19 yrs old with my symptoms, and according to my daughter's neurologist, if the same thing happened now, they would have dx me (at least "probable) on that basis. I don't believe that, knowing what others STILL go through to get the dx ... but it definitely would have been confirmed at age 31 if I had let them test me. I didn't see the point in knowing though as there were no drugs available to help anyway, and I could still work.
I have a ton of allergies too, with lots of sinus problems, bacterial infections, Ulcerative Colitis, and a problem with processing calcium. On that basis, I'm glad (and kinda' surprised) LDN worked for us, cause I really thought I'd have trouble with this med too.
