Years of Symptoms After Mononucleosis
In 2000 I traveled to Austria & Europe and when I returned I contracted mono and have never fully recovered since then. I've been diagnosed with many things, spent lots of money on both traditional and non-traditional therapies with very little benefit. The non-traditional was the only treatment that gave me any relief. My symptoms are:
1)Fatigue--need to sleep 9-10 hrs/night and am still tired throughout the day. If I am able to lie down in the afternoon I absolutely do!
2)My sleep is non-refreshing (although I don't think I was ever a good sleeper). I wake up 5-6 times per night and go to the bathroom at least once.
3)When it started in 2000, I had diarrhea on and off for about 2 years. This has now changed to constipation for the last 10-11 years to the point that if I don't take Triphala Gold twice daily (4-6 tablets per day), I am not able to go at all.
4)Apathy/depression-Most of the time I feel too tired to be interested in things. The depression has gotten better. I am a person of faith, and the hope in God has changed this aspect alot for me. However, I am still rather apathetic about life because of the fatigue (I think).
5)Allergies-I need to use Allegra almost daily along with a nasal rinse. I know that I'm allergic to mold, but my allergies have gotten worse.
6)Migraines-I've had an increase in migraines in the last 2 years in particular.
7)Bloating-My intestines often feel bloated. I am thin, but my stomach sometimes looks bloated.
8)Irregular periods: this is new for me for the past 3 years. I am only 42 years old and do not have a history of abnormal periods. They used to last 6 days and were rather heavy. For the past year I have only had maybe 4 times where I spotted for a day or two and the blood was usually very dark.
9)Vaginal itchiness & aching. The ache is very low and central.
After spending a little time on your site, I am considering doing the Hydrogen Peroxide treatment, and possibly the lemon/baking soda alkalinizing rememdy. However, I would be interested to know your thoughts and suggestions.
Much appreciated,
A.J.

Hi, Sounds like you may have candida. You are also most likely deficient in several minerals/ vitamins, notably magnesium- a hair analysis test would help with this. Id suggest going to the main section and addressing your question to Bill. Really sounds like you are iodine deficient too. A low carb diet would help.

Thank you for your suggestions. Right now I am doing the H2O2 suggestion for candida and drinking baking soda and water to try and alkanalize my system as suggested by Ted.
I did go to the main page and I didn't see a "main section" to question Bill. Could you help me with this. I am having some difficulty navigating this site. Many thanks.
