anemia, tiredness, pale skin, tired itchy red eyes, tension, foggy head,
These are the things I have 'suffered' with since being a child. At school i was called ghost because my face is so pale, but not see-through pale, just 'look sick' pale, with dark eyes. I have had anemia now and again. One week in the month, these things are heightned even more, and I feel depressed and tense.
A foggy head has plagued me all my life. At school, I was considered to be dizzy or gormless because I have completely in a dreamland. But I could not concentrate for long. At high school I felt tired all the time and would fall asleep on desk. This continued to being about 19. I had terrible bags under my eyes, genetically inhertited from my dear mother, but I paid to have them removed 3 years ago because I had become obsessed with them. The surgeon said they were the worst they had ever seen on a young girl (I was 27).
Now I am not so much tired as in fall asleep anywere, more depressed and tense. I still have pale skin and feel just 'yucky' sometimes.
Is this something the raw food diet will change. I spoke to my mother last night to try and get some insight into why I was like I was as a child. She said it was growing pains. She fed us a reasonable diet, although much of it was meat, two soggy veg and potatoes. we were not allowed sugar or soda.
I have had blood tests for this, that and the other, but doctors cannot find anything. My mother says it's therefore just my 'make up'.
I thought I had that body dismorh-thing at one stage and heavily looked into that. But must admit that I has some symptons.
Would love to have colour in my face and glow and not have a weight in my stomach as I open my eyes in the morning knowing I look pale etc..
Can anyone advise me further, this raw thing is my last resort.......fed up of feeling like crap. Are the symptons above something connected with food?
