Healing From F.N.D

Hi guys i was diagnosed last year.Even tho i accepted the diagnoses at the time part of me could not accept that that was it.Tests they do dont go deep enough so i started to research.As i believe toxic life style diet etc creates health problems i decided to change all this.So as of the 1st of Jan i started eating uncooked food only and taking herbal formulas.I had been on 5 meds and stopped all those.I stopped dying my hair got rid of all household chemicals reduced EMF exposure got rid of my makeup and perfumes.So as of today i do not shake rattle and roll or have seizures.The only time i have symptoms is when i stand up and close my eyes which in my research i found this is a symptom of nerve damage or Neuropathy.I have no blood sugar problems since changing my diet so my Neuropathy symptoms are not caused by diabetes alone.Some medications i was on prior to F.N.D onset also do damage to the nerves.I have struggled with a life time addiction to cigarettes which is also on the list of Neuropathy causes.So after 50 years of smoking i have to quit this is the big one for me but i have a plan and support.It is my conclusion that it is damage to the nerves that had given me F.N.D symptoms.I know not every one is a smoker but do believe nerve damage to be the cause this is something that will not show up with brain scans.My research has also led me to look at my spine and the nerve pathways that can be irritated due to the back being out of alignment .I shall continue exploring this and healing also encourage you all to look deeply in to your life style and toxic overload.Much love to you all on your journeys, Nicola.

I am starting to believe you. The more I read and talk to people who went more natural, the more I try to follow a better eating style. A friend was telling me to check out the 'dirty dozen' app. It helps steer you from foods with pesticides added to them.

Hi:

Good for you.

I also was diagnosed with FND. I also have a very clean diet. I am doing my research too. I do not believe that I have FND. Just found out that my fluctuations of my GFR Number of my Kidneys and fluctuations on my blood pressure might be related. I have hypertension and hypotension. I found that out by me wearing a 24 hour Blood Pressure Monitor. I had to fight to get that Monitor. Now for the second time I am going to see a Nephrologist. I kept arguing with the first Nephrologist that I have something going on with my Kidney. I had 3 Doctors telling me I have FND. No I don’t. You really have to be your own advocate. What happen when the Doctors told you that this is what you have and you trusted them and believe them. Not any more, you got to fight to get the proper tests.

Thank you for your reply,so happy to see i'm not alone in seeking answers outside the box.I am addressing the endocrine system, weakness in these glands cause all sorts of problems.The kidneys and adrenal for example are weak causing High Blood Pressure and swinging Blood Pressure for me.The gland system is interconnected in other words one weakness will relate to other weakness.I am addressing the thyroid as well.My choice is not to use prescription medicine anymore as these cause damage and only mask the symptoms.Instead i take Herbal Formulas that support the glands and consume only fruit and some vegetables.The G.I track needs a clean as that causes a lot of issues with the brain,parasites fungus etc.Its amazing the changes so far i am getting my life back.:)

Hi:

So happy that you stop smoking. I believe that Doctors are not looking nowadays and wants to slap that label onto people. I had Mercury Poisoning 3 times and when I told the Primary Doctor at the Mayo he looked at me and said who told you that.

I told him I was treated by an environmental doctor. He said I don’t believe in Mercury Poisoning. Right then and there I knew I was in trouble. What a jerk. I have been eating an extremely difficult diet. No fish or seafood (too much mercury), no dairy, no sugar, no gluten. This is not by choice. I have food sensitivities and food allergies. I have been doing this for 18 years now. I also worked in a chemical toxin plant. That didn’t help. By me eating fish, working in a chemical plant and having a very old root canal that was filled with mercury that had a small crack and would leak small amounts of mercury when I drank something cold or hot. That mercury built up in my system for years before I started to have symptoms. That fool of a Doctor don’t believe in that. What a goof. So I do believe that had something to do with my deteriorating health.

Now I know that I have a kidney problem and fluctuations of my blood pressure. So even if I do except the diagnosis of FND least I know what caused it. I am a believer on what ever diagnosis that is given to you there is a cause it’s not all in your head. This younger generation is going to have so many health issues and diseases and there will be no name for the diseases. In America the food industry rules. They use all kinds of sprays on the crops, inject god who knows what into our meats even thou our government says it’s against the law to feed our animals antiobics. The animals eat the grass and grains and both are sprayed with pesticides and who knows what else. Our young girls are developing breasts at the age of 9 years old, that is not normal. Having there periods at a very young age too. These poor girls are still babies and have no idea what is going on.

Wow i hear you,so true.Can relate to the Mercury issue i have a mouthful.I am on a pension so a long wait ahead of me for my turn for free dentistry. Many of these teeth are broken so toxic overload is high.We are onto something here my friend lets just hope more F.N.D folk find this path.Interesting that funds raised for research are not used to address the route cause of ill health :(
