my body is not cooperating

Any ideas of why after 90 loud weight loss, my back pain increased.  Scoliosis had been stable for 10 years @ 65-70° thoracic and lumbar curve, in 2011 --thoracic curve, 70°, lumbar,67°.   2years later, thoracic, 74° and lumbar, 80°.  I've  also had severe increase muscle weakness in shoulders and decreased function right arm and hand with ulnar wrist palsy.   I occasionally have dizziness changing positions and sometimes it  happens while I'm lying in bed.   I have random involuntary movements.   I have lots of fatigue and pain.  I have a thymoma, since it wasn't  malignant  6-7 years ago when they found it, it's presumed it's residual thymus tissue.  No have lots of pain and walking even a short   distance, my muscles wear out.  The more I keep going the worse it gets.  Resting a bit helps, then I go again.  Thanks for any thoughts.  I also have peripheral neuropathies, all four for years and I'm not diabetic, and my scoliosis doctor says it doesn't go along with scoliosis usually.

You should check into Candida yeast infection and Small bowel bacterial overgrowth. Both can cause the symptoms you have. Both can make you vitamin deficient, cause difficulty digesting foods, muscle pain, nerve pain, spine pain, headaches, allergies, asthma, diarrhea, constipation, hormone imbalance, insomnia, fatigue and many more.

Hi auntie_923.

You probably need some compehensive genetic testing, but not before you get hypothyroidism ruled out, but please forgo the TSH, T3 & T4 and insist for
Free T3, Free T4 & Reverse T3.
Also you need an adrenal stress profile-4x cortisol (saliva) and DHEA
Next you should consider testing for D3 & K2 level (these 2 help metabolize calcium and deliver it to the bones/joints/teeth and NOT to soft tissues) , however, you must be certain there's no vitamin D3 resistance.
Your tartaric acid levels could be high (a muscle toxin), if you consume many sugars/carbs.
Malic acid helps for this and ACV is the best food source.

Hope this helps.
