👨‍⚕️ Journey with Gluten Ataxia and Health Anxiety

Chris Trevelyn, a liver cancer researcher, shares his personal journey with gluten ataxia, which initially manifested as health anxiety. He discusses the onset of symptoms in 2019, including chronic ear pain, slight hearing loss, and a sensation of falling. His anxiety escalated with persistent dizziness, especially in supermarkets with bright lights and flat floors. Despite an initial diagnosis of viral labyrinthitis, his symptoms worsened, leading to health anxiety and irritability. Chris's health journey involved battling with different doctors and seeking a diagnosis, which was a challenge due to the rarity of gluten ataxia and its misinterpretation as stress or anxiety.

05:01

🏥 Struggling with Health Anxiety and Misdiagnosis

Chris's health issues progressed, with his condition deteriorating to the point of near housebound due to depression and anxiety. He was convinced he had various neurological diseases, including a brain tumor or early onset Parkinson's, leading to extreme health anxiety. His symptoms continued to worsen, affecting his daily life and work. Despite an ambulance visit and multiple doctor consultations, he was misdiagnosed with anxiety. His health anxiety was so severe that he was constantly researching his symptoms online, leading to self-diagnosis of various conditions. His family encouraged him to take a break, which helped reduce his stress levels. He also explored coping mechanisms, including watching videos on health anxiety, which provided some relief.

10:02

🔍 Pursuing a Diagnosis and Dealing with Health Anxiety

Chris's relentless pursuit of a correct diagnosis led him to consult specialists and undergo various tests, including an MRI and ear examinations, all of which showed no abnormalities. He was convinced he had a rare ear condition and underwent surgery, which did not alleviate his symptoms. His health anxiety was so intense that it affected his mental state, leading him to feel that his life was over. From February 2019 to winter 2020, he saw numerous specialists without success until he visited a private balance clinic in Sheffield, which suggested gluten sensitivity as a potential cause for his balance issues.

15:03

🌟 Gluten Ataxia Diagnosis and Treatment

Chris's journey led him to Professor Marios Hajivassiliou, an expert in gluten ataxia, a rare condition where the body produces antibodies in response to gluten, attacking the cerebellum and causing balance and other neurological issues. After blood tests and a specialized brain MRI, Chris was diagnosed with gluten ataxia. The relief of finally having a diagnosis was immense, especially after being dismissed by previous doctors. The treatment involves a strict gluten-free diet to prevent further damage and potentially reverse existing symptoms. Chris emphasizes the importance of advocacy and persistence in seeking a correct diagnosis.

Transcripts

hi my name is Chris trevelyn I'm a

researcher in liver cancer at Leeds

University and I'm just making this

video to talk about uh my journey with

gluten Ataxia how it started out as

health anxiety or what I thought was

just health anxiety

um and basically the entire journey I

went through from developing symptoms

first of all

um battling with different doctors and

looking to get diagnosis and then

eventually getting a diagnosis and the

treatment for glutenant toxia and some

of the symptoms which I experience

and so to start with

um I was always in good health

um never had any health problems at all

very active uh I was uh 20

um well I've been 25 years old uh when I

first started having symptoms so I was

in February of 2019.

um everything was fine and then one week

I started to experience some very weird

symptoms along the line serve

um ear pain so I had very chronic ear

pain especially one night and was

arriving in agony with the amount of ear

ache that I had

um I had some slight hearing loss

um but nothing too major just like sort

of sounded like I was uh listening

through through a shell sort of hearing

loss

um I also had

um a couple of times where I felt like I

was uh dropping when when just sitting

on the edge of the bed just a sensation

of sort of like falling through a lift

type of sensation

and then generally just feeling very

very anxious uh but not knowing why I

felt anxious and just um sort of very

irritable very quick to to snap that

kind of thing

um so this all started to like

creep on during one of the course of one

week so I was able to function

completely fine didn't have any business

didn't have any balance problems at this

point

and then towards the end of the week I

started to get uh intense dizziness uh

one Saturday night

um and then the next day I was feeling

very dizzy when in a shop

um especially caused by sort of uh

shelves in the shop upon each side a

bright fluorescent lights and flat

floors in the shop

um and that caused a great deal of

anxiety so from that point on I was

feeling basically dizzy almost 24 7.

um but not just spinning dizziness it

was more so the sensation of feeling

like I was moving

um sensation of feeling like I was

moving on a boat especially uh like

feeling like when I was walking it felt

like a lift going up and down

um it was horrendous

um it was very upsetting uh very

confusing

um panic I was greatly panicked

um but I was briefly uh felt sort of uh

a bit more encouraged when reading about

how this could be caused by an ear

infection so everything's that was

matching up the fact that I had the ear

pain

um and the knee infection

um and so I went to go see um GP

um who diagnosed me with viral

labyrinthitis

um said that this would subside within

about two weeks so I everything was good

yep my family very encouraged by

hearings as well but in the back of my

mind I was worried what if this doesn't

go I was always prone to health anxiety

in the past

so any time where I might feel like a

symptoms coming on

um I'd be worried about what that

actually means and whether it's going to

subside or not so I was waiting across

this this two-week time period where I

was still experiencing all the balance

problems

and then after two weeks it didn't go

slightly increase my anxiety I was I was

panicked all the time I was constantly

Googling as to what that might mean like

constantly like

all the everyday couldn't function all

day at work I was Googling and

researching symptoms I was look I was

reading forums

I was reading medical reports I became

convinced that it was all manner of

different diseases and when one was

ruled out then I would move on to the

next one I was Finding

patient uh sort of testimonials and

patient forums where they would talk

about the exact symptoms I had and then

I was convinced that I would have for

example like um a brain tumor or blood

cancer or you name it I I was convinced

I had it I was convinced that the

European was due to a tumor behind the

ear that was causing

uh pressure there

but it was quite uh convinced that I had

a early onset Parkinson's disease

um

any anything neurological I I was

convinced that I had it

um so it didn't help that during all

this time my symptoms were just getting

worse and worse so I went from being a

healthy functioning 25 year old who

exercised a lot did a lot of running did

a lot of walking never had it you know

with slight Tendencies to health anxiety

but only ever since like otherwise

completely fine completely normal

completely healthy now I was essentially

nearly house bound with depression

anxiety couldn't sleep completely

obsessed with Googling

awful essentially

[Applause]

um

and then the symptoms were just getting

worse and worse at one point where I was

at work one day and I just couldn't take

it anymore I was in the toilets with we

were getting a flat floor which we

always made the symptoms worse

spinning and I just couldn't take it

anymore and

um I was just panicked and my workplace

ended up calling for an ambulance so I

got an ambulance

um to hospital but as it was a

non-emergency case I was waiting there

to see a GP

GP just said to me you you basically

just got anxiety here can hear complete

panic in your voice because every you

come you panic about every single

symptom under the sun which I was

um for example I was even convinced that

I had some kind of ongoing infection

that was causing all of this and the

color of my tongue was different to

before and that was a sign that I had an

infection

but again I was just attached onto

anything anything could be the reason

why I was connecting all manner of

different dots together and coming up

with the most awful of of diagnosis and

diagnosing myself but I wouldn't listen

to anyone at this point I wouldn't hear

what anyone was saying I was convinced

that I was going to die

um so my parents

um said you know come home because I was

working away at the time said come home

for two weeks

your law anxiety setting do you know

getting stress down

and because of where I was at that time

I was just depressing anxious I'm living

on my own it just wasn't good for my

health at all

so I go home that helped subside a lot

of the of the stress and I came across

on YouTube

um health anxiety

so watching videos on health anxiety

really really really did help lower the

stress levels because I was seeing a lot

of the symptoms that I was experiencing

being reported by other people

um and that helped me to think okay well

it's not it doesn't it's not definitely

a brain tumor it could just be health

anxiety

um and I'll just give this a go of

believing and telling myself it's health

anxiety it's health anxiety just

repeating it to myself anytime they came

on just saying it's health anxiety

um but eventually

this didn't this copy mechanism wasn't

enough

um and the firm time A friend of mine I

was in at that point I was just

basically looking for anything any new

coping mechanism would work for a couple

of days and then I was convinced again

that it was a brain tumor

um I then went to a hypnotherapist to

try and help with this to try and stop

me out of focusing on the symptoms again

this worked for a few days but the fact

that the symptoms remained was still

um was still the overriding issue with a

lot of people with health anxiety there

is symptoms will eventually go when the

anxiety level drops but mine wasn't good

so I pursued with the doctors

um to follow down the ear route

um I then

um believed that perhaps this ear

infection that I had originally in the

ear pain and had caused damage to my

balance uh Center

um so I fortunately with the workplace I

was at went and saw Primal private

medical

um Insurance

um and so I went to go see an ear

specialist in Cambridge

um I had scans done and I convinced them

to allow me to have an MRI scan of my

brain as well because I was convinced

that there was a problem there

um and essentially the problems came

back showing that there was no problems

with my brain

um and there was no problems my ears as

well

um I then became convinced that I had a

rare problem with my ear

um which I can't remember at the top of

my name but uh off the top of my head

but it's essentially where you get a

small hole in your ear and that can

cause uh pressure differences that could

cause balance problems

um so I underwent a surgery and an

operation to fill a potential small hole

which couldn't be seen

uh again didn't make a difference at all

so I'm going through some quite Extreme

Measures at this point didn't make a

difference at all to my balance problems

my balance problems were still there

um I then became convinced that I

developed

um a condition called

mdds which stands for mild embarkment

syndrome which occurs after somebody uh

disembarks um a stressful or just

basically any kind of voyage it can

occur after a cruise or after a trade

after a plane ride and it can leave

people feeling those symptoms

um basically uh forever

um and this can be caused by stress as

well so it can because when you don't

have transportation so I become

convinced I've got this lifelong

balanced condition called mild abutment

syndrome it's never going to go my life

is nothing depressed what's the point in

living anymore

uh starting to feel slightly on the edge

of what is the point in life anymore if

I've gone from being 25 years old can do

whatever I want I'm happy I can do

whatever I've got the world in front of

me to this point where I felt like I was

just held through and bedridden my life

is over there's nothing worth living for

um

so what happened was from February 2019

to

um talking uh the winter time of uh

2020. I'm just seeing specialist after

specialist after specialist after

specialist searching for diagnosis and

not getting anywhere

and then eventually

um I paid to go to a private balance

clinic in Sheffield which wasn't far

from where I live in Bradford

and the point of that was just to try

and get some physiotherapy exercises to

help with the balance problems

um so during this time I was doing a PhD

um in science in cardiovascular disease

and because I still I didn't want it to

rub me of my life so I was continuing to

function and work and try and achieve my

goals but I was just feeling completely

just depressed and just sad all the time

because all of this these balances were

just occurring in my brain these

Sensations were always there all the

time and it just felt sad knowing that

other people weren't experienced them

and I had to experience them and it was

just so depressing so I went to this

balance Clinic just to try and get some

exercises to help with the sensations

and whilst I was there The Specialist

happened to ask me whether or not and

I'd suffered from many uh gluten

sensitivity with my stomach

um

the uh this was uh the case so I've

always had some problems uh slight

problems with my stomach uh with when

eating gluten and but I'd never got a

positive uh Celiac test so I've done a

Celiac test like four times and all of

them were negative

um he said that gluten could be the

cause of my balance problems

um and it wouldn't matter whether I had

celiac disease or not

um so he referred me to go and see a

specialist

um at Royal

um hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield

um called Professor Marios hajjovisulu

who's an expert in a disease called

glutenant ataxia

essentially gluten Ataxia um is a

disease where the spot the body responds

to the ingestion of gluten by producing

antibodies and but these antibodies can

become what they call Auto antibodies so

it means that they can attack

um parts of the cerebellum in the brain

and lead to balance problems and

dizziness and it can also cause speech

problems and coordination problems and

memory problems as well

and so I waited for this uh first

appointment uh spoken through my

symptoms

and he arranged for me to have a blood

test done and also for a special MRI

scan of my brain called an MRI scan with

spectroscopy and essentially this this

kind of scan measures uh chemical

changes across the brain and it can see

where some cells may not be present

anymore because they've been damaged or

or those cells have died due to attacks

from different antibodies

so I waited the results of both my blood

test and my burnt scan

um and around July or August of 2020 I

received a letter to confirm that I had

tested positive for glutenantaxia both

through the blood test and I'm through

the brain scan

so this was a massively massively

relieving uh time for me I'd finally

reached a diagnosis and all the doctors

that told me that it was just stress uh

just anxiety and nothing more

um were wrong

um I don't blame them because it's a

very very rare condition but it just

felt like such a relief that I pursued

it and advocated for myself and and

chased on diagnoses and I finally got a

diagnosis

um so the treatment was laid out to me

there was that there is only one

treatment for gluten Ataxia and that is

a strict

um

um

gluten-free diet you can't have any

gluten whatsoever and that's to avoid

cross-contamination as well so it means

that like for example you can't toast

bread in the same toast that has been

used for normal bread as well you have

to be extremely strict to not ingest

um any gluten at all

um and that with with doing this you can

potentially reverse any damage that the

gluten has caused

so it's really important to notice it it

depends on how long you've been this

damage has been caused so some people

are very unfortunate and not looking

that it takes them a long time to get a

diagnosis or they'll listen to doctors

who tell them that it is just stress and

anxiety and they give up looking for a

diagnosis and all the time they'd be

eating this gluten which is causing

damage to their brain and potentially

gets to a point where it's not

reversible anymore so I was told that

with eating extra gluten-free diet

there's no reason why I couldn't reverse

this damage

so that's what I started doing I went

completely strict gluten-free

um but a year later

um still didn't feel like I was seeing

any results

um so I still like slightly looking

online at different all the different

chords it could be

um the health health anxiety was still

slightly there still slightly depressed

I'm still getting balance problems

um especially when after Transportation

so that's always something that would

make it worse is going on a

transportation like bolts or like trains

or looking at screens for a long period

of time so it definitely affected all of

my balance Center

but I proceeded with a gluten-free diet

and then after a year or so I started to

see the improvements so I started to

to see the balance problems reversing

and to the point where I'm at now where

I still

will experience slight balance issues

like I'm not gonna lie I still get

things

um but there's so many school that like

I can so easily deal with them like I

run regularly at the moment like I'm I

I'll run like a few times a week like

eight years seven kids five kids like

um I I work a full-time job commute via

train and walking I live a very normal

life I I own my own home I'm a research

fellow at a university I can do so much

with my life now whereas before I just

felt like just I cut out my life was

basically at an end and that was only

possible through

um completely eliminating gluten so it's

just

feels like a different world now to

where I was at before where I was

undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy

and taking antidepressants just to kind

of cope with these symptoms that had no

answer to them because I was being told

by every doctor that I saw that I just

had anxiety it was just stressing that

there was nothing more but because I

looked out for myself and I pursued it

to the end I finally got a diagnosis and

a rare diagnosis at that so I would say

to anyone who's got the same kind of

symptoms as what I had uh balance

problems feeling like everything is

swaying and moving

um that kind of thing to just

can't like just really be an advocate

for yourself don't give up because it

might not be that it is stress and it

might be that there is something

underlying there and that you can

undergo some treatment for it

um and that's it not not to say that

there is such a thing as health anxiety

because there is and people will help

anxiety do experience dizziness and

balance problems as well but it's

important to get the stress down uh get

the stress levels down so that you can

actually work out what it is that could

be causing it and that's the main thing

like everyone would say that to me back

then get the stress down get the stress

down then we can work it out but I

wouldn't listen to them because

you're convinced that you're dying

you're convinced that you've got some

horrible illness

but the main thing is

if you get the scans like an MRI like a

brain scan they just completely set your

mind at ease and you'll know that it's

absolutely nothing extremely serious at

that point then you can go on and see if

it's something like glutenantaxia
