Headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue, stomach pain, weakness

Wow, I thought I was completely alone in this! For these past months I  have had no appetite. I would only have snacks and liquids. I have mostly been able to stomach porridge and such. I was 119lbs but am now 105lbs. I am always plagued with headaches that at first seem like sinuses but I am not so sure now. I am always popping in ibuprofen but it doesn't seem to be working for these headaches. I am always so tired, even when wake up. I once thought I caught the flu because there was one morning when I just couldn't get out of bed, my muscles felt beyond sore, and my whole body just ached as if I had been run over. Even though I am exhausted to the bone, I can't sleep at night. The most sleep I get is 3 hours a day. I have made a doctor's appointment and really want to know what is going on. I have tried everything, changing my routine, giving up coffee, pilates, and still I am just losing weight to the point where even my mom noticed and at first thought I had an eating disorder. I really want to eat but my appetite is just not there and if i try to force myself, i get so nauseus i have to go straight to bed and lay down. Has anyone gotten a diagnosis?

My wife has been suffering with the apparent epidemic for over a month. We've changed our diet and eating habits and it hasn't changed. She gets lightheaded, has severe abdominal pain, extremely weak, develops severe headaches, she can't eat much and when she does it just hurts more. She is constantly nauseas and thats just from smelling some foods, but the weird thin g is not only does it make her nauseas but it also make her head hurt worse. Every doctor has said something different but two and they said it could be fibromyalgia. We've heard gastroenteritis a lot which is bull pucky because you dont have gastroenteritis for over a year. yet the pains have been getting really bad over the last month but she has always had these pains since before she was pregnant. I just want her to get better :(.

Yes, I have gotten told that it could be gastritis and i said "gastritis my foot!" And I have tried changing my diet too, adding vitamins, and even going to bed early and rising early but it just isn't cutting it. It is very frustrating and I am going to see my Doctor next week. People already think I have an eating disorder with all the weight i have lost and just not having an appetite. I am hoping I get some news to post up here and let everyone know what it could be. *fingers crossed*

I've had the exact same problems!! I thought I was all alone! I'm 15 and for the last 8 months I've been

-having constant stabbing, or dull headaches at the same time every day that ranges from feeling as if a belt is squeezing your skull to a metal bat (with the occasional migraine).

-fatigue, to the point where just getting school makes me feel as if I've run a marathon

-weakness as if I'm standing and all the energy is just yanked out of me

-loss of appetite, I'm no longer hungry and the thought of eating makes me sick to my stomach (I do eat though, mostly very cold or very hot food! Otherwise the food taste very foul) I've been varying between 105-92lbs.

-I haven't had much stomach pain (that I've noticed, I probably have passed off more than I should on cramps)

At the beginning of this year when my symptoms began my parents didn't believe me, so after weeks of convincing they took me to the doctor who tested me for glucose imbalances, anemia, and diabetes. Those came back negative but a red flag came back in the blood work that I may have had Lupus, so they sent me to a specialist. A Rheumatologist who in a glance said that I didn't have lupus, if I did it was at such a small stage that treatment wouldn't do anything (they sent for blood work again and the test came back borderline). Frustrated that my symptoms weren't going away I demanded to have a full screening again and my mono came back positive. I was for the majority of the summer and the rest of the school year sick in bed, come August I was feeling much better and decided to start my sophomore year.

The headaches never REALLY went away but they had slowed down to maybe one to two a week. September rolls around and my symptoms come back three fold. headaches all the time, shaking, weakness, aches, (everything listed before).. Now I know it isn't mono because I'm already over it (been longer than 6 months) so was something missed?! I'm unable to go to school I feel horrible, its starting to tear me and my parents relationship apart because they think I'm faking or exaggerating or something :( I just want to be better so I can get on with my life!! I'm planning on becoming a cardiologist or something around that field so obviously missing school is harming me a LOT. I'm sick of all this. I do have a VSD (a hole in my heart) but it is under control and it's fairly small. My grandmother on my mom's side has chronic migraines. and I have diabetes on both sides. If anyone gets any results please update! =D    

P.s I take Advil for my headaches and they have not seemed to work =(

And I rarely drink caffeine or coffee, especially not energy drink.. If I do drink coffee it is maybe once or twice a month, and those caramel frappe's from starbucks which is probably like 1%caffeine and 99% sugar haha.. I drink mostly water, a lot of water! I'm constantly thirsty and drink of an excess of 8 bottles a day, I'm lactose intolerant so no milk for me..

Wow,you pretty much described everything in detail about my days. It is torture. And people look at me funny when I say I am exhausted but can't sleep. My friend did suggest I get tested for mono but after reading your response, I don't think I have that either. I know diabetes runs in my family and i have a high rusk but I had already been tested and was found fine. Thankfully, tomorrow I scheduled a doctor's appointment and am going to request a full physical because I pop in aspirin like there's no tomorrow, or else I would miss class and I can't afford to. So once I come back tomorrow, I will definitely post what my doctor has to say. I really hope i get some answers because I don't know how long I can keep living like this. Beyond exhausting. And like you, I treat myself to starbucks like twice a month, and only for their pumpkin spice lattes. :)

I also have a scheduled appt. but with a neurologist o_O I'm leaving in a few min.. I'll update as soon as I get beck ^_^

Hey Rebecca ^_^ I got back from the neurologist and he confirmed what I already knew.. I have crronic headaches/ migranes- he put me on 400mg of magnesium oxide and Butter bur (heavy duty med because Advil wasn't working).. He suggested that all of my problems were rooted in my getting little sleep *rolls eyes*.. He's practically treating the symptoms and not getting to the root of the cause :/ in four weeks I'm gonna go back and tell whether or not the supplements worked at all, if not I'm getting an MRI :/ .. I just don't know about all of this, I have my Cna license and am on my way to becoming a cardio thoracic surgeon (my ultimate dream ^_^) so I know a thing or two about medical problems and I've ruled out my diet (you may have lactose problems? Try cutting out most of the milk products you consume, see if that makes a difference ;) ). But all in all I'm no closer to finding out what mysterious 'thing' we have lol.. What did your Dr say?

Exactly.. 100% exact o_o kinda scary, even down to the exact weight 105>100

You may be pregnant?
