I, too, lost a lot of weight, about 50 lb., most of being muscle & body fat. I have trouble swallowing food all of the time (paralyzed tongue & esophagus), so eating is a chore. However, for some reason I, too, was just suddenly stuffed after a few bites and the weight just fell off.
My blood count is/was off, I took some vitamins & am basically OK now but still weigh the same. I might gain a pound or two but lose them again & have stopped losing weight. My veins popped out as well, some of my hair fell out & continues to do so. Thank heavens I have very thick hair.
I started an anti-depressant because all of this was very scary-what bothers me most is the weird things that are happening to my skin. I'm basically OK emotionally now & see a neurologist every 6 months as I was diagnosed w/autonomic neuropathy & a couple of other types. I'm just grateful I'm not in worse shape than I am!
I do hope you've taken live4fitness' advice and have seen a doctor by now who answered your questions. Good luck to you.
Did they give you anything for the anxiety? I would think it is more than that if it affecting you swallowing food. I am sorry for what you are going through. I would ask your dr for suggestions. Maybe start doing yoga. I heard it helps.
I have seen my doctor several times and he just puts my symptoms down to anxiety. I have seen more than one doctor and they have all said the same.
YES. I would recommend seeing your dr.
