After months of thinking I was dying, going through way too many tests and no joy, I decided to go to my naturopath and he diagnosed Candida. A month in to the very strict 6 month anti-candida diet and I was feeling 100% again. The diet is gruesome and its very tough to train on no sugar (not even fruit) or simple carbs, but I was so happy to feel good again.<br /><br />Good luck and I hope you find a way to feel like your old self.The Duck Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804351827909380328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-28416465171406907672012-11-18T15:55:08.528-09:002012-11-18T15:55:08.528-09:00I've been thinking about you and hoping to rea...I've been thinking about you and hoping to read better news.

I took fatty acid supplements (which are supposedly good for endocrine system) and DHEA (which may boost the adrenal system, but is considered illegal doping, so I'd not recommend that), but the real treatment was most likely just time. I'm fully confident you'll be back 100% by next spring: I think sometimes the body just gets pushed beyond it's limits and needs time to reboot.djconnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-80860946984800077692012-11-11T06:15:15.795-09:002012-11-11T06:15:15.795-09:00Geoff, I started running the day after I watched y...Geoff, I started running the day after I watched your amazing finish at Western States. before that I hated running, but something about what you did that day inspired me and I can never thank you enough..since then I've run dozens of races including my first of many ultra's (a 50K a few months back).

My wife had been dealing with an "unknown" auto-immune disease for the past five years. She too has had many of the tests done that you've had. Earlier this year she mentioned getting tested for food allergies to her doctor. As it turns out she is moderately allergic to milk w/ an increasing sensitivity to it. Her main symptoms were fatigue then joint pain then chronic urticaria among others. She's not 100% yet but by removing dairy from her diet she removed the joint pain and the fatigue.<br /><br />Just a thought.
