Symptoms include: RSD, cubital tunnel syndrome, several herniated discs in lumbar and neck, diabetes2, glaucoma, neuromas, extreme skin changes (ie- has become mottled, changes texture and color, may be red or gray, temperature avg 101.2 most days, very bloated abdomen that is very hard like a rock (looks very pregnant), extreme pain in bones, joints. Very swollen lumps, size of half an egg on wrist joint, elbows, etc. Elbow on L feels like a hot screwdriver is poking inside it each time it is moved (x-rayed, no fractures), easy bone breakage of toes, back of hand and fingers, losing hair rapidly, aged rapidly over 5 years (when this started with broken toes that couldn't heal). Fatigue, RLS even in daytime and in arms as well as legs, several times a month. Vitamins/minerals/herbs, physical therapy, Rx drugs have not helped much. Have always been vegetarian and eat organic, whole foods. Drink at least a gallon of water a day. Always feel too hot, love in the 50s. Need fans, ice caps.

I go to lots of specialists, including a relatively famous pain clinic. I have had surgeries, blocks, am on a few narcotics and other meds. In physical therapy. Will start a tens unit soon. I just wanted a fresh take from other eyes that have maybe seen something similar to this before. :-)

It may be wise to rule-out:
1) Celiac Disease
2) Intestinal Dysbiosis
3) Intestinal Hyperpermeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
4) Chemical sensitivities
5) Food allergies/intolerances
6) Heavy metal toxicities
7) Multiple micronutrient deficiencies
You will probably need to find a specialist in environmental medicine or functional medicine to help you. Many Naturopathic Physicians, some Chiropractors and a very few medical doctors have the appropriate training and knowledge to guide you through the process of finding the 'real' underlying cause of your problems.
Best wishes and good luck.

Applying the Dhaxem method, my suggestion is that you have a breakdown of the functionality of your colon, which means that your body cannot absorb the minerals that you need, and it cannot absorb appropriately Vitamin C which would support your immune system. This has a knock on effect on your liver and other organs that are involved in digestion. As the result, whatever you eat your body is malnourished, because your body cannot exctract the goodness out of your food, and as the after-effect of that your joints and gradualy all the tissues of your body suffer, get inflamed, and fail to regenerate.
If it interests you, you may read about the method I use on the Dhaxem website.

That sounds like quite a few different things going on at once. The only thing I know about is RLS. That is caused by low iron. Ferritin should be checked. If it is lower than 70, then you need iron.
Now that abdomen business, needs to be taken care of by a doc pronto!

It sounds like a combination of several different things and you may need to see several different specialists. Is your sugar controlled? Sometimes, some of the symptoms that you have mentioned can be due to uncontrolled diabetes.

cirosis of the liver, its a liver disease that gives you every thing you named off, sounds like 2nd stage cirosis. it will get very worse in the long run. my step father died of it last year.
Or the second choice could be MS, multiple sclerosis, it is common with the symptoms you mention. It is really hard to say, cause all you mention could be anything or 1 or 3 things all together
