Something royally screwed up has started happening with my health and I'm freaked out about the whole thing ..

Out of nowhere, I've lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks that I didn't have to spare to begin with (i've been busting my a$$ to gain weight!). I am getting dizzy all the time, have a huge appetite (and despite eating like a pig .. cheeseburgers, fries, I'm eating 6 times a day at least and I'm still losing weight). I have a higher than usual pulse, can't sleep, I'm tired all the time, jittery, etc. My Dr has expressed extreme concern, sent me for a crapload of bloodwork this morning, and to top it off my boss is giving my grief because my Dr appt took longer than expected yesterday, and I ended up having to take the afternoon off work. So .. as if I don't have enough sh*t to worry about right now .. he's being a complete jerk for something that's out of my control and rendering me now additionally worried about my job. WTF?

My Dr has no idea right now until the bloodwork comes back .. but he's chasing after either an overactive thyroid, diabetes, or pre-lukemia... I'm freaking out!! :\ Please say a prayer for me girls ..
 
Big prayers and hugs being sent your way.There is nothing worse then having to deal with health problems-yours or family and friend.Best wishes.
 
Oh my, how scary that must be! And what an @ss your boss is - sometimes they just have no clue about anything. Don't let him get to you. Deep down, he's probably concerned about you, but doesn't know how to express it, so he just gets on your case instead. You know how men can be sometimes. ;)

I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers - do let us know the results of the bloodwork. Your symptoms sound most like hyperthyroidism, which would be pretty easily treated. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
 
Some doctors can be that way. Just try to be calm. Been there myself and with my DD too who just this past year had mono. Docs said it could be leukemia, etc. at first. There is all kinds of speculation going on right now. Just hold your ground until the blood work comes back. Try not to worry and let us know how you are doing.

Prayers and thoughts are coming your way. Try to stay calm (I know that is easy for me to say), but wait until the blood work comes back and then you'll know what you are dealing with and can meet it head-on. The unknown is ALWAYS the worse. Hang in there.
 
Oh wow.. my thoughts and prayers are with you. Try not to worry till you get some results. I know drs. like to throw around all that medical stuff and panic us. Has this ever happened before? the weight loss despite eating a lot? Maybe it was fluid weight or something like that? I pray everything is okay.
 
I know you are having to deal with a whole lot, but keep thinking positive. we will all put you in our prayers. Good Luck!

Tell your boss to kiss off!!

Nope .. it's not fluid weight .. I have far too many other symptoms that came on with it. I've almost passed out three times in the last two weeks. I have an elevated pulse, I'm dizzy alot, eating a ton, jittery, nervous, sweating more than usual .. Ugh .. I feel like I'm completely having an out of body experience!!

Hi Sweetie,

One of my friends just went through this exact set of symptoms last winter and it turned out to be her thyroid. Totally common and treatable. But it wasn't fun living with the symptoms before they figured it out. I also just finished a pathophysiology class for nursing, and that's exactly the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Anyway I don't know if that's what it will turn out to be but I've said a little prayer for you to feel peace and for the dr. to find out exactly what needs to be done.

Blessings,

Bella
 
Sending good vibes your way (and voodoo vibes your boss' way}( -- what a jerk). I know it's daunting to have to wait for results. I had a similar scare two years ago when a nurse-practitioner went out of her way to diagnose me with a connective tissue disorder. I was only in for the routine pap smear. I went to my doctor who had blood work done -- just to prove her hunch, that the nurse-practitioner was wrong. Hang tight.

Sorry you're having such a terrible time. You're in my thoughts and I'm sending you some good vibes. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

Niclyf: I'm keeping good thoughts for you and praying for the best possible out come. You are in the most difficult part of the process right now, the inbetween. Waiting for test results has to be one of the hardest things to get through and it's a tremendous challenge to reign in the worry and speculation. As hard as it is try to focus on something positive and calm yourself a bit, maybe you could try a mantra when your thoughts are racing ('nice life' perhaps:) I'm guessing that's your screen name). Your metabolism is haywire right now but better days are ahead and hopefully sooner than you think.

Take Care

Oh dear, my prayers are with you. Try not to panick until you have some solid results. In times like these we tend to focus on the absolute worse scenario. Take a deep breath and try to relax. Once the dr. has the correct diagnosis, then you can be treated appropriately.
