Hi, my name is Tom.

Since 2011, nearly half my life, I’ve been battling severe chronic illness and mental health challenges.

What began suddenly with unexpected reactions has evolved into a complex, debilitating condition that remains undiagnosed.

Despite trying every possible avenue, including conventional, holistic, and functional medicine, I’ve been left without answers, and often, without support.

I’ve seen countless doctors, contacted hundreds of clinics and specialists across Australia and overseas, and even travelled internationally in search of help. But no one has truly been able, or willing, to dig deeply into what’s going on.

I've spent years in isolation, researching, experimenting, and doing everything I can to heal.

But the truth is, I’m still stuck.

My symptoms are wide-ranging, persistent, and have severely affected nearly every aspect of daily life.

They include:

* Cognitive and neurological issues: memory loss (sometimes forgetting close relatives), severe anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure), brain fog, panic attacks, and insomnia.

* Mental health challenges: anxiety, compulsive thoughts, ADHD, and long-standing emotional trauma.

* Chronic fatigue and sleep disruption: extreme crashes, and never feeling rested even after sleep.

* Hormonal and sexual dysfunction: very low libido and sensation, anorgasmia, testosterone issues, and pelvic structural problems affecting function and sensation.

* Widespread pain and mobility issues: joint instability, muscular injuries, swelling, muscle spasms, and a history of fractures and dislocations.

* Gastrointestinal and immune symptoms: leaky gut, SIBO, bloating, skin rashes, food reactivity, and suspected autoimmune dysfunction.

* Chemical sensitivities: strong reactions to common substances including treated water and detergents, severely limiting contact and environment.

* Structural and organ-related symptoms: pelvic organ prolapse, hernia, abdominal separation, urinary issues, and unexplained swelling in the groin and face.

This list is just a condensed overview, but it gives a sense of how complex and interconnected everything is. These symptoms have continued despite medications, lifestyle changes, and numerous therapies, and many have worsened over time.

Why I'm Reaching Out

I’m not asking for donations. I’m asking for understanding, insight, and meaningful connection.

I’m hoping this message reaches the right person. Someone who believes they can help in a truly holistic, whole-body way.

Someone who can assess my full health history, identify potential root causes, and offer a rational, personalised path toward recovery.

Even if that means working in collaboration with my doctor here in Australia.

You might be:

* An integrative or functional medicine doctor

* A researcher or specialist in chronic, multisystem illness

* Someone with deep experience in gut health, immune dysregulation, toxicity, MCAS, histamine issues, or related fields

* Or simply someone who’s lived through something similar and has insight, recommendations, or names to share

Even if you can’t help directly, sharing this message or connecting me with someone who can could mean everything.

How You Can Help

* Share your professional insight, diagnostic ideas, or treatment suggestions

* Connect me with someone who might be able to help

* Reach out if you’ve been through something similar and want to talk

* Or simply let me know I’m not alone

Thank You for Being Here

This journey has been long, complex, and often invisible. But I still believe there’s a path forward.

With the right support, the right eyes, and the right minds, healing becomes possible.
