Dont Know What These Symptoms Mean... Posted: 11-01-04 21:41pm
Ok i've been sick for about 9 months
getting a little better every month.
It started on my 23rd birthday I drank
alot and the next day I had a hangover
that felt like a flu..Now the main
symptoms I have are when I physically
exert myself I get sick (hot flashes nasal
congestion a cold like fealing).For
example I work saturday and sunday in a
laborous job and on monday and tuesday I
have to recover.I'm also on welbutrin for
anxiety which is most likely from being
sick for the better part of the year.The
same way i'll feel when I exert myself is
the same symptoms I get when
i drink alchohal.I was reading about
aldahyde dehydrogenase deficiency
which sound like what I have but im not
sure.If anyone could give me any ideas
what to be tested for (i have passed mono
,epstien barr,lime disease and all other
normal bloodwork) or any ideas on what
else it could be.And if anyone knows of a
specialist that deals with aldahyde
dehydrogenase deficiency...Thx for reading
my post.

I would start with improving your diet and
losing weight.Carrying excess weight and
poor nutrition will cause you to feel like
c**p.If you do not provide your body with
good fuel,it cannot run efficiently.I'm
sure that your doc has suggested that you
lose weight,so I will not belabor the
fact.If you inprove you diet , you should
start to feel better in a relatively short
time.Cut out the fast food and focus on
eating food that has not been processed to
death.I'm not saying you need to become a
health nut,but eat things that are grilled
rather than fried and battered.Have a
salad rather than fries or chips.It's not
that hard if you just make some better
choices.There are so many websites and
books to help you,look some over and see
which one has the best approach for
you.Good luck!Patty
