Good question. Answers are theories only and make for good discussion.
Theories:
Receptor numbers, density, and sensitivies were altered by the previous drugs in a longlasting or permanent manner.Genes and DNA codes were turned on or shut off by the previous drugs in a longlasting or permanent manner.
Adrenal gland function has changed over time.
Thyroid function has changed over time.
The liver's ability to detox has changed over time. Phase 1 or phase 2 have speeded up or slowed down and are out of sync.
Hidden subtle gut problems like candida or leaky gut have alterered your immune response, causing exaggerated reactions to formerly tame substances.
Heavy metal burden. Lead, mercury, copper, arnenic, antimony. They are everywhere, from fire retardants in fabrics to grains we eat to water supplies to air we breath to flu shots and vaccinations to fish to presticides on the produce at your store and in the meats of animals that ate acid rain pesticide plants and of course amalgam fillings. Even low normal levels of metals can cause serious sensitivities and adverse drug reactions in many people.
Rather than an and/or view at any of the above theories, I think it is more realistic to assume it is a mix of several of them simultaneously. What could cause ALL of the above all by itself? Heavy metal burden.
But to keep it simple, you and I are among hundreds who have asked the same question why a drug once worked but doesn't now, and why no side effects previously but now serious. Something obviously changed, and it wasn't the drug. Kind of scary things can be altered in our biochemistries so dramatically isn't it?
