I've lost almost 15 lbs. in 4 weeks...

and my doctor is concerned. I went back today. I had a stomach issue which never got solved. I've had ringing in my ears for over 2 weeks now (which can apparently be a sign of metabolic/endocrine disorders). She told me to go back to the ENT (I have an appt. tomorrow) but wants me to go for a slew of blood work for thyroid, diabetes, etc.

I have not been dieting. When I had the stomach issue I ate very bland for a week, maybe two, but still does not explain the big weight loss.

I dont know what is going on with me. I feel like I am falling apart. And I am starting to think people think I'm crazy

ETA: I also have been very tired lately. I just assumed it was normal mommy stress. I just hope they find something on the blood work because if they dont my dr said I will need to see a specialist.

Awww, hon, I can tell you're concerned!!! Praying you get some answers and healing!!! Mary

Re: I've lost almost 15 lbs. in 4 weeks...

When I had stomach issues I lost a lot of weight FAST. Add some anxiety on top of that because of worrying and it definitely can happen.

I'm sure you will be fine, just get it all checked out.

I hope you feel better and get some answers soon. Maybe you should ask to have your thyroid checked.
