@sondrachristo1 they said it was bc i was lactose intolerant for most of my younger years and my calcium and vit d is very low. Always has been. I also have alpha gal syndrome so I cant eat red meat. I was bitten by a lone star tick 10 years ago now. So my iron is always low as well as my protein. Then one day my sugar started to spike all the time and they said I was pre diabetic they said hormone changes at my age can do this. They did a hormone panel and everything came back of that of basically a 20 something year old. I drastically changed my diet and started working out daily. Being in a boot cast for part of every year probably didnt help the Weight gain either. Other then broken bones I never went to the doctors.

@catken0701 now I get it, I’ve never heard of the lone star tic so I did some quick research. Apparently it’s pretty common to be diagnosed with alpha gal syndrome after being bitten by this tic. That and a whole host of other viral illnesses. No wonder you’ve been so sick.
You definitely did the right thing by improving your diet and exercising.
I stay clear of all processed food myself, and definitely no alcohol. Limit sugar too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if all you are going through is due to this bite you got 10 years ago.
As far as the lactose intolerance and brittle bones, have you started any treatment to build your bone density? I have osteoporosis and have been dealing with the ramifications of that for several years. But that’s a story for another day.
I hope you can find a doctor that is knowledgeable or willing to educate themselves on your specific case.
