Digestive issues for 2 years. 140lb down to 90lb

Hello my name is Ryan I'm 31 years old I don't drink, smoke, use drugs or engage in alternative lifestyles. I'm just a simple guy from a small Texas town and I live a very quiet life. I've been fighting a mystery condition for two years. I've been to many doctors I've had many tests ran and lots of things have been uncovered, but I still do not have a clear diagnosis and I don't know where to go or who to turn to.

Instead of writing a novel I'm going to keep my initial post short and I'm going to withhold information at first so I don't influence your responses. I'm going to list the symptoms I'm experiencing right now and I'd like for you to give me your first impression. I'll explain things and answer questions as we go.

Note: This came from absolutely no where. August 1st, 2013 I was just fine, but by August 31st, 2013 I was fighting for my life and still am. There has been no improvement.

Current Symptoms - 9/8/2015

▪Flu like symptoms
▪Swollen sore tonsils
▪Tonsil stones
▪Red sores in mouth
▪Blood blisters in mouth
▪Swollen lymph nodes

▪Abdominal pain/pressure/discomfort (right side just under the ribs near the sternum and it seems to worsen after some meals, but moving around makes it worse too).

I went from being an active young man taking care of a farm to being bound to a bed for two years. There's more to the story, but this is a good start.

Ryan.  at this point,  you should be able to get insurance.  If you have no income,  you are in luck!!

I've read through this thread and there doesn't seem to be any medical facility taking charge.  Folks here on this thread are really helpful and suggesting things,  but you need the Mayo clinic or some other clinic with an equal reputation for taking charge and driving this to ground.  

It seems to me that all the medical professionals so far have run a few tests and shrugged their shoulders and passed you on.  

Before you die,  sign up for free health care and go to the Mayo where a comprehensive staff will care.

Best wishes,  and prayers.

While your symptoms point to :
Hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, IBS, colitis, leaky gut syndrome, gut dysbiosis, food sensitivities etc.
it would be nice to know what tests you had including tests results with lab ref. values ,if available.

Cheers,
Niko

I am not a doctor, but I do know a lot about medicine. I ran your symptoms through a database and I was thinking the same thing.

Severe Hypothyroidism (Myxedema). You need to go to the hospital and get treatment as soon as possible. They need to start you on T3-Liothyronine IV. If I am right, you will be better in a few days. This is so serious that people go into comas from this lack of thyroid hormone.
