Could this be...?

Question

For about a month now, i've had what i thought was a viral flu (told by the doctors it was). But a month seems just a little too long. I've been dizzy, haven't really been able to eat too much, peeing ALOT (every 30 min or so) and having an on and off low fever. I'm also very congested, and the doctors thought it might also be sinusitis. I'm worried something more along the lines of diabetes... or pregnancy???? eeek. I took a pg test today and it was negative, and i'm also on my period so i highly doubt that it's pregnancy. I have slight anxiety feelings every now and then also that started when the sickness started. Doctors also tested for a thyroid problem... negative. Does this sound like something serious like diabetes or anything like that?? =(

I haven't really been thirsty, but i have been extremely tired since i've been sick. My body feels lightweight and weak constantly.

Answer 1

it doesn't sound like diabetes, you stay extremely thirsty when your a diabetic and you get weak or have a drunk feeling and you sleep alot, have your dr. check for fibromyalgia

Answer 2

First off there are 2 types of diabetes, and it's not type 1 and 2. Diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus (this contains types 1 and 2). Excessive urination and extreme thirst (especially for cold water) are typical for DI. Symptoms of diabetes insipidus are quite similar to those of untreated diabetes mellitus, with the distinction that the urine is not sweet and there is no hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose).The extreme urination continues throughout the day and the night. In children, DI can interfere with appetite, eating, weight gain, and growth as well. They may present with fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. Adults with untreated DI may remain healthy for decades as long as enough water is drunk to offset the urinary losses. However, there is a continuous risk of dehydration. This sounds a lot closer to what you have. Instead of being caused by something wrong with your pancreas, it results from either a defect in the production of antidiuretic hormone (adh) or the in kidney's response to the adh. To findout for sure whether or not you have this you would have to go through a fluid deprivation test.

I hope this help!

Answer 3

This sounds like fibromyalgia. I say that from personal experience, not from medical education, so you need to get confirmation from your medical provider. Before I was diagnosed I sounded exactly like you do now. I have both diabetes and fibromyalgia, so I have a good idea of what each of them feels like. Good luck. Don't give up, even if both of those are eliminated. It can take a while to diagnose some illnesses.

Answer 4

There could be a few things this could be due to an infection that has rendered the lymphocytes and white blood cells very low which would be called aplastic anemia, or you could have generally anemia... HAS you r doc done a CBC complete blod count.....This could also be alimentary hypoglycemia that has to due with the way your digestive tract is pouring out food and your body is dropping in blood sugar... Many possibilties but im sure everything will be ok.

Answer 5

Go to a gastroenterologist and get checked out.It could be anything from C. Diff . (too much antibiotics), food poisoning (salmonella), parasites in the bowel, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS..runs in families), Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, or something else.

Have you had a stool culture and sensitivity done? It could be a germ that takes over after a lot of antibiotics have killed off the good bacteria in the bowel (C. Diff). Or food poisoning (salmonella) or parasites...

Diabetes has increased urination and increased thirst and hunger with weight loss (at times...everyone is different).
