Mixture of Symptom..Severe Fatigue, Massive Weight Gain, Dep

all of your symptoms sound like a decrease in hormone which in turn could be auto immune deficency this is what causes arthritis lupus hypoand hyper thyroid as well as a large variety of other diseases and the doctors will give you as much medicine as you allow however those cause more side effects and problems I highly recommend seeing a homiopathic doctor drink herbal tea and look on herbal index they have everyday herbs like garlic clove thyme oregano etc. and it tells you what it helps with garlic and ginger are two specific ones I can think of that will help

 

I, like many of you, have had an array of symptoms. I'm 23 years old, female. Tired all the time, headaches, cold sensitivity, muscle aches, mood swings, weight trouble, and within the last month hair loss. I've been to many drs and no answers. This morning I came across a website that could possibly, hopefully, have the answer for many of us. For all of you out there that had a normal thyroid levels, but many of the symptoms read this document.

I had all of these symptoms in the most extreme forms for about a year, except for weight gain... I actually lost about 30 pounds. For 5 months I went undiagnosed and took about 9 pills subscribed by the doctor a day-each combating a different symptom or side effect of a pill. Turns out I had mono. And 2 years later I still get episodes of extreme fatigue and nausea and body pain. I heard Lyme disease has similar symptoms. My friend had Lyme disease and mono at the same time with no tick bite to be found... I would get a blood test for it even if there isn't a bite.

I typed in the symptoms I'm having and this post came up...I know it was years ago but was wondering if you had any luck finding out what it was??? The things you listed are to a T what I'm having, every single one!! Its like u were describing me! I'm desperate to find out what is happening! I cannot take not being able to get up in the am and the weight gain is awful!! I've been 117 lbs my entire life and in like a month and a half I gained about 35 lbs. My hair has fallen out and isn't growing back at all either. I'm desperate for anwsers...hope you are better because this is hell. Thank u for your time

have u had ur thyroid tested... that is what it sounds like to me.. i was having the same problems and i was told that there wasnt anything wrong for the longest time but i was persistant. i made the doctors do tests on me and it turned out i was right that it was my thyroid but they misdiagnosed me for what kind of thyroid disorder it was so i refused the meds. it sounds to me like your thyroid is malfunctioning again.

I am turning 23 in october and for 7 years I have have suffered major weight gain, I have done everything possible and it doesn't come off, I suffer from depression, severe fatigue and daily pain in my joints and muscles. I have to fight to get up everyday and help with my nephews. several times a day I will fall asleep just sitting in a chair, even if I'm talking to someone. for days at a time I will sit and cry, and drive people away. years ago my aunt and cousin told me it might be my thyroid, I was tested and nothing came up. That was 6 years ago, I wonder now if maybe it is my thyroid, and if I should get a more complex test to find out. Because of the weight my family is afraid I will die, and often wonder why I sit hold my body and crying. Saying it hurts makes them upset, they think I am being lazy. I truly wish I was normal, I exercise as I can, even if it hurts. I can't sleep at night, I toss and turn most of the night. Can anyone give me ideas? Going to see my doctor soon and with my mom's help try to find out why this happened to me and if I can be like I use to be, active and sleeping, not always in pain and crying.

i would like an answer to my problem.

I have been dealing with Hypothyroidism since 2006 ,still have symptoms of fatigue , exercise intolerance , weight gain around 30 , premature grey hairs, muscles aches and joint pain, low motivation. My doctor says mu numbers good but my symptoms doesn't say that . I heard lot of success on Homepathic , please advice.

I came across this blog comply by accident while once again searching for answers to my health issues.

Two years ago my children and I were accidently poisoned by contaminated water from our well (it was a bored well common in 1970's and we had unprecedented rains that allowed farm pesticides as well as other ugly things seep into the water supply).  At one point, I had my daughter (21) in one hospital for a week and my son (17) in another hospital - all while I was so sick myself I was barely functional.  It was my daughter who figured the poisoning out. I have been hospitalized like 4 times in a year. I have been seen at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester.  While now I can drive myself, brain function, ability to speak a coherent sentence seems to have returned, I am left with:  chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping even though I am exhausted, annoying headaches but not migraines that I previously had, chronic diarrhea, joint pain, my feet are ultra sensitive to anything touching them, uncontrollable sweating, I cannot control my body temperature, depressed because I feel so bad, White Blood Cell Count is elevated and the higher it goes the more fatigued and worse body pain gets, weight gain of 40 lbs, edema to the point I can only wear sandals.

I am 49 with a Master's Degree and own a healthcare technology company for 20 years. I am normally the person everyone depends upon. But now, I wonder if I will feel this physically bad the rest of my life and that thought is very depressing.

I have been seen by so many doctors and while I am relieved to be able to get out of bed now, I still am plagued by chronic fatigue, joint pain, chronic diarrhea, weight gain, and no desire to do much of anything but sleep.

One avenue I have not thought to check into is homeopathic. I will look into this. I can't believe that this is all that I have to look to for the rest of my life. There has to be an answer.

You are constipated... it can cause all of those symptoms. You can still poo and be constipated and not realize it.   You should be having minimum 2 good bowel movements a day, 24 grams of fiber a day minimum and half your weight in oz of water a day.

Hi all, Just came across this after a similliar experience. I had all these symptoms, weight gain, very painful joints, swelling, puffiness, fatigue, high blood pressure. All after the birth of my son. It took 2years and seeing a lot of medical people who mostly told me there was Nothing wrong other than being fat!! Lastly i found an endocrinologist who discovered i was deficient in vitamin D. Sounds so simple, given i was treated for arthritis and all sorts of other things. Anyway i didnt believe this was the problem because i had been let down so many times and,the pain was crazy. He put me on high dose ergocalciferol. He said over the counter vit d wont work when deficient and no food can give it to you. Just sun and living in Ireland doesnt help! So after 3 weeks on the ergocalciferol, i suddenly felt the pain and swelling. The weight then started to talk off. By 2 months i was back to myself. With vit d deficiency your body Cant burn fat so it stores all fat!! I had been Perfect till i stopped the mess as summer came, all was good but at the end of summer, in the space of 2/3 weeks all the pain is back and the,weight/swelling is all coming back!! Am going back on the vit d so should be better in A few weeks. I know everyone here may have a different problem but i think its helpful to hear when people do find answers. I know when i had no answers Id have done anything to find people with the same experiences. Good luck! SQ

I'm 23 years old an have been having almost all of the same issues. In the past year and a half, I have gained 35 lbs. in the past 6 months alone I have gained 20 of those 35 lbs. I'm exhausted all the time. I push myself so hard to work out as often as I possibly can. I have been watching what I have been eating as well, and in the past week I have been working out even harder and making sure there are no cheats whatsoever in my diet. This was only to find that I have gained even more weight. My emotions have been extreme, and my frustration level is at it's peek. Three days ago my doctor's office informed me that my Epstein Barr virus had deactivated, but could this really be the cause I everything I have going on?? I anyone has any answers PLEASE help.

Two words: LYME DISEASE. I have had all of the symptoms you have been describing (plus and minus a few) and went to doctor after doctor after doctor. I have seen every kind of '____ologist' under the sun, tried massage, acupuncture, cranio-sacral work, chiropractic, infrared saunas, electric stimulation, etc etc etc. the list goes on and on. I know many of you have been tested for Lyme with the conventional Western Blot and ELISA blood tests. This is NOT enough. I tested negative 6 times. The conventional tests are very out-dated and do not include many types/strains for the bacteria. In addition the bacteria are corkscrew shaped, and after just a few weeks they burrow into your tissues (all of them, and sometimes even your brain). So, the bacteria are hiding and cannot be detected in the regular blood test. Bottom line, you need to research Lyme yourself  ('Under Our Skin' is a great documentary) and find a 'Lyme Literate M.D. (LLMD) in your area to go over your symptoms and help with the testing process. Many primary care and infectious disease docs don't believe in Chronic Lyme Disease (the call it Post Lyme Syndrome) and may not take you seriously or know which tests to order and they certainly don't know how to treat it properly. The CDC released a statement a few months ago that their initial estimate of 30,000 new cases per year was wrong... It's closer to 300,000 cases. And it's not isolated to the northeast. It has been found everywhere. Chronic Lyme Disease has caused me to miss out on too much of life. Please, please, please consider this as a possibility, do some research, see a LLMD and have the proper tests and treatments!!! P.S. Lyme is nicknamed 'the great imitator' and was found in the spinal fluid of 80% of MS patients in one study. It was also found in 90% of the brains of people who had passed away with the diagnosis of Alzheimers. Many people with Parkinson's, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Lou Gehrigs Disease, lupus, and so on have been re-diagnosed with Lyme and made full recoveries.

This sounds like like me, did you ever find out any information.?

I am having the EXACT same symptoms. It has been going on for a while now( I am 31). I have 4 kids and every day is a struggle to dress, feed and bathe not only them but myself. I had hemorrhaging pituitary tumors a few years ago, after which I gained a lot of weight very fast. The weight stayed on until I went through chemo for liver cancer. The weight obviously came off and stayed off for over a year. I felt great! Then the weight gain, fatigue and pain started again. And I am unable to figure out why. If you find a diagnosis, please let me know.
