I’m an otherwise healthy 27 yr old woman at my wits end due 2 several inexplicable symptoms which have become increasingly worse 4 eight yrs now. Firstly, I always feel boiling hot regardless of the temperature, although my skin doesn’t feel unusually hot to touch. I also have an unquenchable thirst & cannot sleep through the night without waking up numerous times for a drink, & constantly need the toilet. When I get too hot I feel light headed really itchy, especially when around other people. Also, over the past 6 months I’ve inexplicably gained 20 pounds & all of it has gone on my stomach. I’m definitely not pregnant, although I look at least 5 months gone, & my waist measures 36” although the rest of my body is still a size 10, so I find it impossible to find clothes to fit me. My stomach feels bloated & I pass wind frequently. I eat a healthy diet & have been tested 4 diabetes, thyroid, calcium deficiency & IBS, all of which have come back negative. I also had to monitor the amount of fluids going in & out 4 2 weeks to see if I had water retention & that came back negative too. Can anyone out there relate to what I’m talking about or suggest any remedies or a possible diagnosis for this mystery illness?
