Help Need Medical Advice With Metabolic Issues.?
About three years ago I rapidly started gaining weight, I gained about 40 pounds in excess weight. I was no longer athletic, I frequented the gym 6 days a week 3 of those I saw a personal trainer. My normal weight maintenance before the weight gain would be 2 days a wk and a low fat diet. Once the weight gain came, so did hair loss, my acne got out of control. I gained alot of the fat around my abdomen. So I got tested for diabetes, thyroid, and cortisol levels. ALL WERE NORMAL. I My doctor put me on Meridia to control my weight but found that didn’t work either, and told me to eat an all protien diet. I found out that I get explosive diarhea every time I eat protein.THe only method that works is the starvation method. I drink a slimfast, and eat a lean cuisine for dinner that is it for the entire day. I drink water. I have no sex drive. high blood pressure all at 30. I do ok on carbs. I haven’t been able to maintain any muscle no matter how much protein or how much I worked out.

Yes
Look up information on PCOS aka polycystic ovarian syndrome or stein leventhol syndrome. It is a metabolic issue that presents with many of your symptoms. If your diabetes testing came back ok, have your doctor check your glucose tolerance test to see if you are insulin resistant.
Some women experience weight gain, hair loss, excess facial hair, skin tags, brown patches of skin (under arms, elbows, knees) Do your research and see if it sounds like you. If it does go to your OBGYN and if he isn’t helpful seek outside medical help.
Good Luck!
You need to see an internist. The symptoms you’re describing sounds like Hypothyroidism that’s when your metabolism slows down. Hair loss, weight gain, cold hands and feet are some of the symptoms. My personal research on this(because I have hyperthyroid and might need to have a procedure done that would leave me with hypothyroid). Anyway,I’ve read that sometimes people have hypothyroid even though there test are normal. They had to see a specialist before they were finally diagnose. I hope that you find the help you’re looking for.
