Hello everyone,
I have been dealing with these symptoms for years but never found out what it is.
I have CONSTANT hunger pangs. All the time, no matter how much I eat. Sometimes I can eat enough food for an entire family and sometimes i can only manage a few bites until i feel full (for a little bit). I am a small woman, only 5'3" and 112 pounds. I never seem to gain weight no matter how much i eat either.
Besides the hunger pangs, i constantly feel shaky and like my blood sugar is low or something. I've been tested for diabetes because it does run in my family. But it's always come back fine.
The past 5 days or so, my hunger pangs have been really bad. I'm also having some heartburn issues, pain in my chest, and when i wake up in the morning, my mouth is very dry and my throat always hurts. Besides that, I have been hit with extreme fatigue out of nowhere. Saturday night I was dancing at a wedding, ever since then, i can barely stay away no matter how much i sleep. I was wondering if stomach issues and sleep could be related? I also just feel out of it, can't really concentrate and groggy.
I do have lyme disease and have been treating it for a year or so but i've always had these stomach issues for most of my life. I've had fatigue with the lyme but never like this. My body feels like it's draining itself of energy limb by limb. my eyes are tired. it's an effort to even move.
I haven't been to the doctor. I just moved to California from Pennsylvania and i honestly dont even know where to begin to look for a doctor. I do have insurance just don't know who to go. Back in PA, i've had lots of bloodwork done for these issues. The next step was a scope down my throat into my stomach but then i quit my job and headed west so that never happened.
Just wondering what you guys think of it. Thank you!
