Main reason for weight loss

[mommasita]

Having read up on this I am no further ahead.

I believe the obvious, thyroid is the #1 cause (already tested several times, and all tests were normal)
Also in reading, I came across diabetes. That I did not know.

I have been eating as much as usual and doing the usual. After struggling to maintain for awhile, I now realize I am not maintaining any more

After spending the day at football, with many parents asking me what was wrong, and how it looks like I lost so much weight, I relented and weighted myself. I did not realize it, I guess I just did not really want to come to terms with it.

I will be seeing my reg Dr. shortly for my regular appointment. Just wanted anyone's expertise here, if they offer any. Thanks.

Are you more thirsty than usual? Are you urinating more than usual? Do you wake up at night to go to the bathroom? If the answer to this is yes, do not wait for your regular appointment. Call for one right away.

No, no more so than usual. I have Sjogren's, so do suffer from the dry mouth, skin, etc, all the time. I drink a lot to combat this, and do go to the washroom at night. But I can not say anything has changed.

I will be seeing my Dr. this week, most definitely.

Do you get sick when you eat bread or pasta or crackers? anything with wheat, oat, rye, or barley in it? If yes, it could be Celiacs Disease which is an autoimmune disorder where your body treats gluten as a foreign body and fights against it while the gluten damages your intestines because of your body's inability to handle it.

Good luck with everything! Whatever it is, you will come out okay, and continue to live your life....but you will be healthier because you are taking meds, making changes, etc. to make yourself feel better! So this will be a start to a healthier you!
