Event Abstract Back to Event CLINICAL NUTRITION PROGRAM IMPROVES HEADACHE, FATIGUE, AND DYSLEXIA SYMPTOMS IN A 47 YEAR OLD FEMALE Tatiana Habanova1* 1 Other, United States Background: A 47 year old female presented with daily headaches that began with an east morning commute, difficulties concentrating with moderate background noise, fatigue, and several dyslexia symptoms such as slow labor-intensive reading and writing, problems spelling, mispronouncing words, as well as problems retrieving words. She noted a change in her mental performance three months prior when she unexpectedly failed a certifying exam. Her symptoms progressively worsen each week where she felt she was unable to perform her job adequately and resigned from her full-time faculty teaching position at the University. Her diet was unrestricted, does not smoke or drink, is currently sedentary due to exercise intolerance, sleeps well although wakes up fatigued and her family history was significant for a mother with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Methods: The patient had a strong adverse clinical reaction to Th-2 stimulators. Blood chemistry revealed lab high Total Cholesterol (209 mg/dl) and LDL Cholesterol (138 mg/dl); functionally low Vitamin D (40.4 ng/ml) and B12 (378 pg/ml); and within lab ranges Homocysteine Plasma (7.9 umol/ml) and CRP (2.59mg/l). She was placed on an anti-inflammatory diet and supplement protocol including sublingual vitamin D and B12, turmeric, resveratrol, glutamine and multi-vitamin/mineral with therapeutic levels of chromium and vanadium. Results: After 30 days of her treatment plan, the patient reported significant improvements: headaches were 50% reduced; ability to concentrate with background noise was 50% improved; fatigue, especially upon waking and in the mid-afternoon, was 40% improved; the dyslexia symptoms lessened by 40%. She reported that she started to “feel like herself again”. Over the next 2 months, she continued to show a reduction in symptoms with 90% return to self, until she was exposed to some food in her diet that caused a recurrence of all her presenting chief complaints. That flare-up lasted for 3 days. It was determined severe reactivity to the following items caused the severe exacerbation of her symptoms: tomatoes, dairy, gluten, and red bell peppers. Conclusions: The author suggests that further investigation into clinical nutrition and supplementation in the treatment of headache, fatigue and dyslexia symptoms, especially in patients with a history suggestive of autoimmunity.
