SCOFIELD, Carbon County — Utah wildlife officials fear that a transmissible disease that affects the nervous system of big game like deer, elk and moose is spreading after it was recently discovered in more parts of the state.Chronic wasting disease...

#Chronic #hunger affects 673 million people
– about 8.2% of the world
– driven by poverty, broken food systems & inequality.

Sometimes, information is as useless as having none;

Document Type: Comprehensive Medical History Summary (Patient‑Reported)

CHIEF CONCERNS (CURRENT)

Chronic autonomic instability with vertigo, nausea, temperature dysregulation, and blood pressure variability.

Chronic musculoskeletal pain with joint instability.

Recurrent hypoglycemic‑like episodes with tremor, confusion, and weakness.

Severe fatigue disproportionate to activity level.

GI intolerance to beef with prior ER-level episodes.

High medication and alcohol tolerance.

Non-restorative sleep with trauma-related nightmares.

FORMAL DIAGNOSES (REPORTED)

Neurodevelopmental/Psychiatric:

ADHD (childhood and adult)

Bipolar disorder (manic dominant)

PTSD

Anxiety disorder

Surgical History:

Tonsillectomy (childhood)

BIRTH AND EARLY MEDICAL HISTORY

Born with severe neonatal pneumonia; prognosis initially poor.

Recurrent childhood infections: chickenpox (three separate years), multiple pneumonias, chronic ear infections, recurrent strep until tonsillectomy.

AUTONOMIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR HISTORY

Symptoms:

Cold extremities despite normal skin temperature

Orthostatic intolerance

Episodic tachycardia

Chronic chest discomfort

Lower extremity burning sensations

Vertigo when lying down

Temperature dysregulation

Blood Pressure Pattern (patient-reported):

Historically elevated (around 190/110)

Symptomatic when BP decreases toward normal ranges (150s/90s)

CONNECTIVE TISSUE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL HISTORY

Full knee dislocations requiring emergency reduction

Ligament injuries

Chronic joint pain and instability

Minimal analgesic or sedative effect from high-dose opioids

High alcohol tolerance

High physical output in adolescence (long-distance cycling, construction work)

IMMUNE / ALLERGIC / MAST CELL–RELATED HISTORY

Beef intolerance: childhood oral itching; adulthood GI shutdown requiring ER care

Episodes of flushing, nausea, “uneasy” sensations, and temple twitching

Recurrent childhood infections (see above)

GASTROINTESTINAL HISTORY

Severe abdominal pain and GI shutdown after beef ingestion

Episodic nausea

Food-related symptom variability

METABOLIC AND HEMATOLOGIC HISTORY

Hypoglycemic-like episodes:

Sudden tremor, confusion, weakness

Often misattributed to anxiety

Drug and alcohol metabolism:

Rapid neutralization of opioids

High alcohol tolerance

Blood type variability:

Recorded as AB+ and AB– across plasma donations

Possible explanations include weak D expression, serologic variability, rare blood variant, or chimerism (general categories)

Suspected marrow abnormality:

Lifelong fatigue

Bone marrow biopsy requested in adolescence but not performed

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL AND SLEEP HISTORY

Non-restorative sleep

Frequent nightmares

Autonomic arousal during sleep (tachycardia, sweating, muscle tension)

Sensory amplification

Emotional hyperreactivity

Chronic vigilance

Trauma-related symptoms

SOCIAL AND FUNCTIONAL HISTORY

Long-term disability and economic instability

Limited access to consistent medical care

Reports prior medical dismissal

Chronic pain and fatigue affecting daily function

PATIENT-REPORTED DIFFERENTIAL PATTERNS (NON-DIAGNOSTIC)

Autonomic: dysautonomia/POTS-like features
Connective tissue: hypermobility/joint instability
Immune: mast cell activation–like reactivity
Metabolic: rapid drug metabolism, alcohol tolerance, hypoglycemic episodes
Hematologic: antigenic variability, possible marrow irregularity

SUMMARY FOR CLINICIANS

Patient presents with a complex, multi-system history involving autonomic instability, joint hypermobility, chronic pain, atypical medication response, recurrent childhood infections, food-triggered GI episodes, hypoglycemic-like events, significant psychiatric comorbidity, non-restorative sleep, and socioeconomic barriers to care. Multidisciplinary evaluation recommended.
