on a side note, since this has happened ive had terrible nasal congestion and blockage and drainage on a daily basis all day long. I dont know if that has something to do with this. Its almost as if as soon as the food gets in my stomach ,. in little or no time at all , it gets burned off. its IN and OUT. I dont know if i have a malabsorption issue or what.
other than thyroid and insulin, what else could raise the level of metabolism? and what kind of malabsorbtion diseases / conditions are there?
I forgot to add my list of symptoms which I encounter on a daily basis, sometimes they are severe enough to make me go to the ER where I have been many many times , they dont do much over there except check vitals and tell me to see family doc. Family doc is stumped as am I. I do not get these symptoms all at the same time and they differ in severity from day to day.
