Stop chronic pain. Solve your mystery symptoms now.

I Told You I Was Sick

About Me

Posted by admin on June 8, 2010 with 20 Comments


itoldyouiwassickWhen I was ten years old somebody asked me, “Jaime, what do you want to do when you grow up?” My immediate answer of, “I want to save the world” drew laughter from my peers and indulgent looks from adults.

Throughout my childhood, I was sick both physically and mentally. I had behavioral problems, difficulty learning, social confusion and terrible physical pain in my stomach, muscles and head. After being taken to doctors for years with inconclusive results, it was finally decided I was simply “making it all up for attention.”

It wasn’t until I was 22 years old that my tireless effort to find out exactly what was wrong with me paid off and I was finally able to say, “I told you I was sick.”

It turned out that food allergies were causing all of my symptoms both mental and physical.

Do you suffer from mystery symptoms too? If so, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy. There is no reason for you to continue to suffer. There are real reasons behind your mystery symptoms.

Is your child acting strange? Does he or she have behavioral issues  you can’t explain?

    HI Jaime! Your blog is wonderful. Sooooooo many people try to tell me that my sinus infection is “just a common cold”. HA! It is gratifying when those same people sometimes call to report–and apologize. They’ve had a sinus infection and now see the big difference. However, that rarely happens. Most people think I’m a suck who can’t hack a common cold. :) It’s nice to meet someone who knows how I feel, Jaime :)

    I would like to add another food to the list of possible allerges. Corn. It has become a 4 letter word in our house. Son was tested positive for corn allergy. Within days of eliminating the best we could from his diet, his facial tic stopped, he was more focused and looked at us with clear eyes. Since corn is in almost everything processed and is used as a derivative for items you would not associate to corn, it has been a life altering event in our lives. We are still working on behavioral problems and are going to try to elimination diet recommended by you to see if we have more foods affecting his behavior. Thank you.

    Yes, corn can have neurological side-effects. It makes me feel inflamed if I eat too much of it. Glad you found out the cause. Best of luck to you and your son!

    Hello!

    My name is Nerissa and I recently published a comedic satire about digestive disorders titled “Henrietta James BOOK ONE Not Everyone Poops.”

    I wrote this novel to create an open dialogue about digestive disorders, especially with women and young females. For years it has been the dirty secret; closed door or quiet conversations in the corner about gas, bloating, strange poops, no poop, too much poop or worse vomiting.

    Having Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation and a strong Gluten Intolerance myself for the last 16 years has given me a plethora of digestive and medical information, painful and outlandish stories, and enough angst to fill mountains of empty pages.

    Would you be interested in reviewing the book for the book for your website? I would be happy to send you a free copy.

    I appreciate your time!

    Hello Nerissa,

    Your book sounds funny. Do send a copy and I’ll do my best to find time to review it: jaimeheidel@yahoo.com.

    Thank you for your comment.

    Brilliant site. Thank you for all of the info. I haven’t seen anywhere else on the web where mystery symptoms are rooted out and explained so clearly.

    Thank you, Kim. I appreciate that.

    Hello Jamie,
    WOW! I am so glad you found out why you were sick. So many do not understand why and their Drs. either do NOT know what IS wrong or Big Pharma prevents the denial to continue.

    Either way,so nice to meet you and enjoy Kefir(pronounced /kəˈfɪər/ kə-FEER)

    Here are a few sites I would like you to research when you have a free moment.

    Love & Light,

    Hi Jamie,

    I read your blog about vaginal pain.Am facing same problem for almost one year.Medicines are not making much of difference.

    Do you suggest , switching to Homeopathic treatment would help me.

  11. adminAugust 28, 2012 - 5:10 pm #11

    Hello Anjali,

    I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’d recommend reading this and getting in contact with the author. He’s a very good homeopath: http://itoldyouiwassick.info/2012/08/14/beyond-natural-health-author-varun-gupta-discusses-the-miracle-of-homeopathy/

    I wish you the best. I know how frustrating it can be.

    Hi, Jamie!

    There is so much at your blog here. I wonder if you could point me in the right direction? I think I have that canida thing, but I don’t know. I’m a man with swollen lymph node (groin), chronic exhaustion, vitamin d deficiency, weight gain, swollen feet, yeast infection on tongues. My physician said she thought I would have cancer, except that I’m gaining weight instead of losing weight. Plus I have no insurance, so medical treatment is costly. And I’m beginning to wonder about medical science.

    Thank you so very much!

    John

    Hi John,

    I’m sure this is really rough for you and I’m sorry you’re going through it. It sounds like it’s possible you have chronic candida or at least a candida infection that won’t go away. Did your doctor suggest you add a vitamin D supplement to your diet? I’m vitamin D deficient myself and I take it daily. Most naturopathic doctors recommend anywhere from 2,000 i.u. to 5,000 i.u. daily for people with severe deficiency. Still, it’s best to get your blood levels checked before adding the supplement so as not to overdose. Plus, even if you are light-skinned, you can still take about 15 minutes of direct sunlight each day to get some natural vitamin D.

    Also, do you have digestive issues? With the symptoms you mentioned, it sounds like you could benefit from a good quality probiotic supplement as well. Those are the live, active cultures found in yogurt. You could also try making your own milk kefir at home but you’d have to either buy the grains or get them from somebody who already has them. Milk kefir is an excellent source of probiotic. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and I can’t believe the difference in my digestive health.

    I had a doctor believe I had cancer once because of my unusual blood counts. Turns out, it was gluten intolerance that was causing it. I would recommend trying to save money and make an appointment with a naturopathic doctor in your area if you’re able to do that. Also, look to your diet. That’s very important. If you’re eating lots of fast food and processed food, that will cause these types of symptoms as well because you’re not giving your body optimum nutrition.

    I wish you the best, John. Keep in touch.

    Hi Jaime,

    On days like the one I’m having today, it’s good to find sites like yours. Once again I’ve been tired for no reason and have felt incredibly frustrated with myself tonight. I found your site after googling digestive aids reviews. I reckon that’s what I need, as I’ve felt tired for years! I’ve already found out I have an intolerance to wheat, eggs, diary…and some minor intolerances to other things, as well as some deficiencies, but it has seemed no matter how well I’ve eaten or exercised, so far it’s made no difference to my energy levels. Not to mention no vitamins have ever been absorbed into my body. I’ve also suffered with anxiety since I was 9, and on/off issues with depression, and the fore mentioned ongoing fatigue, that I can’t work full time ever!

    I only hope to be able to cure myself soon! By introducing and trialling various digestive aids.

    Hello Izabela,

    Thank you for your comment on my blog. I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Try to find a naturopathic physician in your area who can give you a complete health work-up. Digestive aids should help but it’s important to really get to the bottom of your fatigue before self-treating. I think you’re on the right path, though. Especially check for thyroid issues if you haven’t already. Gluten intolerance can cause thyroid disease.

    Best of luck to you!

    I am able to relate with you so much. I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, gut dysbiosis and leaky gut. I have a tough time finding support from loved ones or even a simple understanding of what I am going through. I love the title of your blog! It made me laugh because yyou took the words right out of my mouth! I will be following you :)
