this got kind of long :\

I have so much shit going on and zero support.

I have been having this problem (I mentioned it here awhile ago) where I can't digest certain foods - it just causes intense pain for hours. Well now the list of "safe" foods is even smaller and the reaction to "bad" food is now not only pain but vomitting. I have no idea what's going on and my anxiety around food has grown so much I'm afraid to eat most anything. I don't have health insurance so I can't go to a doctor and I am just so sick of being sick and in pain.

Also, my go to "therapy" was hiking and backpacking and I fucking tore a muscle in my leg so I can't even take a measly neighborhood walk. I do not do well mentally when I cannot be physically active.

On top of all that, my sleep has been disrupted by housemate and various other enviornmental stuff outside my control for several weeks now and I am slowly going mad without proper sleep and proper nutrition and exercise.

*deep breath* That actually felt good to type all that out. I don't really have friends or family I can vent to or go to for emotional support so I've just been piling this all in my brain and dealing as best I can.

I don’t know where you live or where you hike but you might want to look up Alpha Gal Syndrome. It’s an autoimmune response to a carbohydrate found in mammals except humans and some apes. Your symptoms sound identical to several people I know with it. I have it but my symptoms are totally different. It’s a very strange condition that’s so different for each person.
If you can go to a clinic that accepts personal payments, they should be able to do the blood draw and get the lab results to you.

ayrt - I am vegan so not sure if this would apply to me but might be worth a blood test just to rule it out. Ty.

If you eat any processed foods, they most likely have cargeenan which is vegan. It isn’t the exact same carbohydrate but it’s so close that a lot of AGS patients react to it. Also, not everything claiming to be vegan is actually vegan (in America, can’t speak to anywhere else). The ingredients are often processed with animal byproducts but because they aren’t included in the final product, it’s considered vegan. Pretty much anything on the “accidentally vegan” list isn’t, like Oreos. The sugar is sourced from many distributors and may or may not be processed through bone char.
Whatever is going on, I’m sorry you’re experiencing it and hope you get relief soon!

If you are in the USA, is low cost healthcare an option?

Unfortunately not. My plan right now is to suck it up and hope to make it to the end of the year where I will reapply for the affordable care act and hope there is a plan I can afford. There wasn't one last year, but I've been shoving every last penny away in savings to hopefully help with the cost.

That's a lot to handle, I'm sorry, anon. :(
