For the past year I have documented the following changes in my body: •     Unexplained weight gain with no change in diet •     Inability to work out like I once could (frequent injuries, lack of energy and fatigue) •     Sores on my checks and nose area (these are very painful blisters filled with watery substance and bleed very easily) •     Sensitive to light (I prefer low light in all areas of the house and very dark in my room – the normal lighting irritates my vision and squint a lot, more sensitive to sun light than ever before) •     Abnormal kidney functions in last Kaiser testing ( signs of kidney disease ) •     Every joint seems to hurt ( sensitive to walk in the mornings, knees feel like they are going to go out, chronic hip pain in both hips primarily when I sleep and to the touch) •     Minor hair loss – (Brush is full of hair but not noticeable on my head. )
