My character wont bleed or heal

[AAtlas 16]

So for a week and a bit since the patch on the 5/2/2014  i had my character from back before then, after that patch i noticed that my character wasn't bleeding atall when being hit by zombies or survivors but i was taking health damage because my vision would be nicely rich and full of colour but would become more and more blurry as i got hit over and over.
Healing was working normally and my vision would eventually be restored to normal along with the Healing then Healthy icons in my inventory but then... i Died to a gunshot (like i would expect) so i respawned.

After a while i got my Energized / Hydrated icons back in full but as started taking hit from zombies i once again noticed that i wasn't bleeding ever and my vision was indeed still rich in colour but would become more and more blurry leading me to think that i'm obviously still taking health HP damage.

This was about 3 days ago and since then i have kept my Energized and Hydrated icons nice and bright green and even continuing to eat / drink after that  trying to trigger my healing / healthy status so i could have my vision return to normal.
It seems that no matter what i do i can't get them to appear and also can't restore health.

The only way i have even been able to play is to use the post processing bug to disappear all my blurriness but lest face it, its a bug and wont be there for ever and also i prefer to know when i've got low health, so,  is there another way to fix this?

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed these issues and/or have a solution to the problem, will killing myself and respawning fix my problem or am i just wasting my gear by doing that? (not that i'm attached to it or anything)
