HI from holland

Hi everyone!

I want to quickly introduce myself.

I'm 34 years old male from The Netherlands!
Over the years I have been suffering from a lot of vague health problems. What it comes down to is that I feel really low in energy, have serious concentration problems, brainfog, muscle pains, etc..
I have been diagnosed with the following: add, meniere, lymphocytic colitis, b12 deficiency.

LC has been diagnosed in march this year. I already had bowel problems, severe D and just plain miserable living conditions for over a year before they diagnosed me.
I waited a long time with doing tests, partly because of my hectic life (moving around like crazy), but also because i am the type of guy that thinks things will pass in time and also try to treat them 'naturally'..
After a year it was clear that it wouldn't go away anymore, it was unbearable, i felt literally like crap! I lost a lot of weight, hair and lust for life... so I decided to go the hospital for tests.
They did a lot of tests and finally diagnosed the LC.
I got entocort and that fixed the D instantly! It was unbelievable after having not a normal stool in over a year that I had a normal toilet experience again!
2 month's ago i started taking 2 capsules instead of 3 and i get more gas problems but still fairly normal stools..

In the meanwhile I still felt pretty lousy, so I recently had some bloodtests done..
It appeared that my b12 level was low: 80 pmol/l
Now I am on injections (the past 3 weeks) and hope to feel a bit more alive soon!

I decided to register on this forum hoping to get some guidance...
My health has put a serious burden on my life and relationship and it has come to a point where it feels hard to cope with just the simple daily stuff.
I really want to do get better and find the best ways of dealing with the problems I have and hope to find some good suggestions on this forum!


Best wishes for 2012!!!!!

Henry
