Very interesting thread for me.
Nausea rules and thyroid issues have always been around. or were they ms issues after all?
I too am dissapearing fast and find that people are very rude about my weight loss. you wouldn't go up to a fat person and say Gosh, you've put on so much weight! Why is it ok to tell me I'm wasting away?

Okay, brain freeze, can't remember how long ago this was. I used to have chronic kidney stones, and with that the infections. At times the infections could be raging but I would not feel the kidney at all, just some weird stomache thing. I did not relate that they were somehow part of the same issue.

One time, my dd - just a tot - got pretty sick. Took her to the doc and felt awful to find she had a serious fever. I did not know because I had a pretty good temp of my own.



We were both around 103! DD got antibiotics, and I ended up going to the ER. DD stayed with my mom and as I was getting dressed, I realized I could see every rib. I was just too busy to note I'd lost so much weight. Then, I noticed how ashen I was, eyes sunken. I looked like a skeleton.

Huh. All I knew was every time I ate - even a couple crackers - I'd get a nasty piching feeling in the pit of my stomach. I thought it was a drag but would go away. Never figured it was due to the kidneys stones and infections.

I was just over 80 lbs by the time I caught on.

so you never know with weight loss, but DO get this figured out. It is never okay.


*Pud - lol! You should say something... "OOH! Aren't you beefing up nicely!" ~poking at their belly~

No one seemed to notice my weight loss, so I'm assuming the rude comments were said out of my hearing at least. lol

I didn't realise how thin I was either, until I saw a picture of myself. I thought Wow woman, you have got to watch your weight. I don't know if the thyroid and this are related. My GP felt my thyroid quitting now was because I was near menopause. She didn't have this info then, though. Here I go back to the docs A, B, C and ? ....Ain't it interesting when life gets cruddy?

Just give me the steroids and cross your fingers, ok? Wouldn't that be simpler?

Well, while you're trying to figure this out... peppermint is good for nausea and digestive issues, and shouldn't interfere with anything else you have going on. Try a cup of peppermint tea once or twice a day, not too close to bedtime though, because it can keep you awake.

I use it for anyhting, and I mean anything, that's bothering my stomach from heartburn to constipation. Love love love it. Maybe should try it for my bottomless hunger? lol

i'm sorry to hear this catch.
don't give up. keep seeing the docs and keep searching for answers.
i wonder if seeing (sorry, another person) a registered dietician could help you find nutritional answers in the meantime.

i hope you find answers and feel better.

I'm just waiting to go back to the gastro dr and see what meds will work for me, follow up with my neuro to see if steroids are worth a shot. I've been having other problems lately. Then I'll see about a referral to a nutritionist. I've been looking online for diet info and so far haven't come up with anything like a list of definate no-nos. It'd be easier than a diet diary so I can figure out what not to eat.
