Finding help.
Hi everyone. Will try to keep this brief. I am a 24 year old man and have suffered with eczema and/or psoriasis all of my life, along with digestive problems and asthma(the last 2 not being so serious until adulthood). I was able to live a pretty normal life up until adulthood, with my teen years being my healthiest.
However, not long after i turned 18 i quit my job as a carpenter to play poker online professionally as i was making plenty of money and loved the high adrenaline and highly competitive atmosphere. The high levels of stress, total lack of exercise, fresh air and nighttime sleep along with the poor diet i was on however was simply too much for my gut.
I was told i had developed leaky gut syndrome and chronic fatigue and was headed for crohns. My eczema had gone from being a manageable inconvenience to being a full blown autoimmune disease, it was as though everything i ate would try to leach out my skin. It is so so so painful, but the worst part is how itchy it is, i cannot get a wink of sleep before the early hours, at which point my body is so desperate for sleep that i finally pass out despite the horribly uncomfortable itch.
I have tried many many different ways to improve my health, including the obligatory diets(have not eaten sugar, dairy, gluten or anything processed or nice tasting in over 4 years), fasting, colonics, supplements, immunosuppressant drugs, have consulted so many specialists, both conventional and alternative that i've lost count. I am now in a state where i have become totally reactive to all food.
I have eaten nothing but turkey and cucumber for the last 2 weeks, and am now beginning to build an intolerance to them too. I literally am on my last gasp. I weigh less than 120lbs and am 5''11. Right now i am receiving IV chelation to try to keep some vitamins in me, i am receiving past life regression therapy in the vague hope that it has some bearing on my situation but it seems as though no matter what i do things just keep getting progressively worse.
I spend about 16-20 hours a day in bed and since i cannot work, i am running out of ways to pay to for my deteriorating health. I was at one point prescribed with elemental SHS 028 Extra, but because it had glucose in it i never used it. I have heard from other users on the forum that it is very good. but i am unsure of how much to take daily(i have the non-flavoured sachets of powder) since it just says ''serving to be determined by your nutritionist'' or something.
Anyway this is more of a vent than a cry for help because i feel like i've tried everything. Thanks for reading.
