Thank you very much for the ton of messages that I have not been able to reply but that have warmed my heart and encouraged me. Eventually I found out what caused my health problems. It seemed impossible to never fully heal despite the strict diet, all the sport and my almost perfect #lifestyle. There was something no doctor had ever seen in me! It was well hidden... I went to the emergency room after many days when I felt worse and worse, pain everywhere, loss of appetite, constant nausea and stomach pain and bloating. Symptoms that I have always experienced but that seemed to make me no longer sleep at night. I came to the emergency room in a wheelchair since I was no longer able to walk, I was sent back home after 6 hours in which they found nothing. The blood works came out perfect, I had no fever, normal ultrasound and the word fibromyalgia in these cases always seems to be the solution to everything. I had fibromyalgia so, what else!? Fibromyalgia seems to explain everything right?! I was no longer able to walk and I was exhausted and in so much pain, so I took an appointment with an ultrasound specialist. This doctor saw nothing with his ultrasound, except that I was clearly in a dramatic condition. He invited me to go back to the hospital where he himself did an abdominal CT scan. That night I discovered that I had been in septicemia for a long long time and that instead of the appendix I had a large infected and perforated tumor mass that was hiding behind the colon, reaching the liver and pouring pus and mucus all over the abdomen. I had been slowly dying for many years without knowing it. It is a rare form of appendix with which one is born, called ascending retrocecal subhepatic appendix. It had been inflamed for many years but with a healthy lifestyle and a strong immune system I was able to keep it under control, without knowing it. I underwent emergency surgery! I feel so lucky to be still alive! I never believed those who told me it was all in my head! I have always been an happy and optimistic person! Now, I can't wait to really live my life for the first time! #gutrebuilding #appendicitisrecovery #appendicitisdiet #appendicitis #glutenfree #gut (presso Arezzo, Toscana, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBpr5FOKf2O/?igshid=gtoooht5zmaa
