"I've had about 2% faith in the medical system in the last 2-3 years"
I'm hearing you. If there's no drug they can just throw at you they're not interested. No fan of the med system myself.
Hmm, and yet no mention of low energy levels...curious. I've experienced that lower back - leg pain before myself, it nailed me for 2-3 days, locked me so tight it hurt to blink!! No clue as to what it was, tests showed nothing & morphine at the hospital did nothing to alleviate the pain, I just had to let it subside. Mystery, excruciatingly painful mystery.
I'm not going to attempt any sort of diagnosis here, there's undoubtedly someone more eminently qualified/experienced in this field than I, but I will offer you 2 suggestions:
1) Christopher's Kidney Formula: exceptional herbal kidney cleanse, works straight away & boy will you see some ugly colours if you've been pumping protein, creatine, aminos etc in over the years. Massively overlooked & crucial element to any supps regime - everybody focusses on the liver support...
2) Heavy metals testing: without knowing your background & potential exposure to ingestible, transdermal or atmospheric metal pollutants, the fact that there's an identified correlation between these symptoms and you exercising indicates to me a possibility of heavy metals toxicity. Your body stores unwanted metals for elimination at a time most convenient to it, most often in fat stores or within organs. With your diet & training regime, the exercise component may induce an unwanted expulsion of metal toxins as circulation increases to the organs & fat stores are utilised for energy. Your detox channels are already running at full noise to eliminate metabolic, endocrinologic and pathologic wastes at this time, when these metals start moving the system overloads and these metals are pushed out any way the body can move them, often through sweat. This may also affect the elimination of other waste products, ie. excessive creatinine. When the body is at rest once again, the metals in circulation are returned to systemic storage. Often it can be difficult to accurately detect levels of metal contamination, as bloods are only indicatory of what is in circulation, not what is stored.
I've seen this in an obese 40yr old woman, though it's possible with anybody. Any attempt at exercise had her develop a migraine & sweat profusely within minutes of commencing exercise, shutting her down. In her earlier years she used to work on farms, around pesticides, welders and metal pollutants. 20 years on & her body still held those toxins & they would get purged without prejudice during exercise, making her extremely ill. Problem was, her diet was compromised & she has food allergies - to the foods she needed to eat to slowly extricate the metals & alleviate the pressure on her detox channels. It's been a long process, but she's slowly regaining her health.
Some people will also have defective DNA with regards to waste elimination, and if the proteins required for signalling are reduced or not produced at all, then there is a detox compromise you may be completely unaware of, this can lead to an accumulation of certain toxins over time. Not altogether uncommon, although difficult to identify without rigorous testing.
Have a think about where you may have been exposed to such toxins over the years - work, on farms as a kid, inner city traffic pollution, even lead piped water. It may provide an insight into the possible cause.
Wow Very interesting stuff, gonna have to check outthat kidney cleanse man! you sound very intelligent and I can think of quite a few places ive been exposed to for years on end that could have introduced some major toxins into my body most recently the last 8-10 years living off some pretty harsh water system that was deemed not to be used but I was forced to live off of for a long time, I worked at a dairy for over a year and around tractor-trailers pretty much huffing diesel fumes for over a year on the job.. and the list kind of goes on, I'm going to have to check into thiss metal testing and so fourth and do belevive I have quite a bit of toxins built up in my body from years of not living in the best of conditions and not really caring what I was exposed to as long as it wasn't melting the flesh off my face.. I've kind of felt like my bodys held on to a lot of toxic crap I've never been able to rid myself of though I've really made a change for the better over the years to live healthy internally it seems my body hasn't really caught up to that idea.. Definitley have tons of tests to get done and really get down to the bottom of things, sucks that I finally founda kickass doctor willing to do all these tests and actually HELP instead of throw random drugs at me and the guy retires! but im not going to waste longer then a day on finding the same quality care provider, if I don't feel like their helping me in the first visit im changing up until I find one that does!! I used to jump through the hoops for 4-6-12 months at a time giving them their benefit of the doubt until I realized with a stack of unfilled scripts of random meds it was time to move on...
Appreciate the post man, very intelligent words there and you gave me another direction to go in unlocking possible causes to issues ive had for years, you know with the leg pain and so fourth ive had lethargy off and on, definitely the last two years ive felt more tired for no apparent reason but dismissed it as stress or depression or something that was situational but as time goes on it seems to get worse and I feel its gotta be somehow more physical then mental 8 out of 10 times... Thanks again for all the info!
