Well, I have been suffering from anxiety, foggy brain, stomach issues still since I have been sober for 4 and a half months (well way before that as well). I have given up almost everything a person can possibly give up and still managed to feel chemically unbalanced. My doctor has basically frowned me out of her office because she thinks all of my symptoms were in my head. So rather than go back to my doctor I decided to see a naturopath instead. She recommended a series of cleanses that have been very intense and it turns out I have parasites!!!!!!!!! The most unnerving, creepy yet enlightening experience which explains so much of my issues the last, well forever. My naturopath says it's from my dog most likely. But I also think it's from being an alcoholic. I am so grateful to be sober- I feel so lucky that I've actually found out what the problem was after so many tests and so many people telling me I am just having anxiety. This has been quite a journey so far and apparently it will be a while until I've got my body in great health. Thank you SR for being here.

Well done on 138 days. Have you been back to see an MD now that you've found out you have parasites?

No but I have a physical scheduled in May so I will have a talk with her then. I've decided to go back to school for nutrition since this actually has been plaguing a lot of people ( just realized this now that I am dealing with it) and doctors aren't addressing it. I am quite passionate about this because I feel like most doctors are dealing with the symptoms and not the root cause.
