@a2dc2dc Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are a diverse group of patients/family members and caregivers who share our own stories and experiences, to support others in our similar shoes. We are not medical professionals and cannot off medical advice or diagnose disorders. How scary and frustrating this must be for you! It's difficult enough to deal with such symptoms individually, but to have more than one happening at the same time is overwhelming, isn't it? You have a very thorough list. Have you kept a journal of any sorts, and been able to bring a timeline to your doctors? What has your primary doctor said might be the causes? You may have to extend your search to a second doctor, or various specialists. Perhaps some testing that includes hormonal, gastric testing will be added to what has been done. When you reflect back to the beginning of all this, how has your life changed on a daily basis? This will be important to talk over with your doctors, also. I hope that this weekend you are able to gather information to present your case to your doctors, and that you also get a chance to relax. We care about your situation.

Ginger,

Thank you for your concern. I have not written down a journal, but I will start one immediately, I know this will be helpful. My life has dramatically changed in the past 2 months, after a significant work up, I sometimes think this can all be in my head, but I have never dealt with any type of mental illness and how is the weight coming off if I am eating as normal as ever, if not more. i will keep you posted.
