Hello.
I'm an 18 year old female and i have always been very small... however, lately i've been losing weight. too much weight. I went from 100 pounds and dropped down to 96, then 93, then plummeted down to 87!! This happened within a 2 month time frame.
Please somebody help, doctors are puzzled :( they have no idea what could be causing this rapid weight loss. All they do is suggest i eat more protein.

does anybody have an input?? :(

thanks.

I've landed in the hospital recently for weight issues. I've asked about worms and so far the doctors have all said that isnt a possibility... i insist but they wont listen. They said i am extremely low in iron as well. I was wondering about Thyroid problems, since it seems to run in my family... although honestly im not sure that its hereditary. I've been experiencing major lack of energy and I've kept to a diet high in fats and protien... I gain some weight and then just as suddenly i lose it. Should i ask about thyroid issues??
thanks so much for your reply and sorry for my late reply to you.
 
I know how you feel because I am 40 and am also concerned because I have dropped 8 lbs in less than 3 weeks....I eat once a day and am at 126 pounds. It seems like everyday I wake up I am a pound lighter. This is scaring me also. I have had tests and doctors say everything is normal. I am a smoker also, so is the smoking and not eating causing it????
 
Can you share with us what you eat on a normal day?

Do you exercise excessively?

Are your fingernails brittle at all?

Do you sleep well in general?

Has your doctor done basic blood panels
and checked your thyroid readings?

Just chatting with you....I know you
are very concerned and looking for
members to share.
