At the ripe age of 16, I started to develop strange reactions to certain foods. My all time favourite, “spag bol”, became my biggest vice and pizza suddenly became a no-no. After convincing myself that I was just being silly, I spent the next 7 years eating these foods and dealing with the consequences. Whether it meant putting my favourite skinny jeans aside for the night or prepping myself for a night of groans and a few visits to the loo – I was sure that there was nothing wrong with me!
The Tip of the Iceberg…
The stomach cramps were just the tip of the iceberg of strange health problems. I slowly started to develop signs of serious fatigue; making it through a full day of school, sport and life was a struggle. So, like all good parents, my mum took me to the doctor who prescribed me with some sort fatigue fighting medicine combined with a 6 month dose of anti-anxiety pills. I had anxiety now too, apparently.
Months went by and the fatigue seemed to ease up slightly; I could make it through the day without the need for a nap but that tired feeling still seemed to hang over me like a wet cloth. Then, in my first year of university I started to develop bad acne – who knew all of these things were connected? I didn’t and the doctors certainly didn’t either! Back to the doctor I went where I was prescribed ONE WHOLE YEAR OF ANTIBIOTICS! My heart breaks writing this, I knew no better than to swallow those pills in the hopes that my skin would clear up. It did, but then it didn’t. Something was definitely wrong with me, but what?
