These may all be different symptoms from different afflictions. How old are you? Not that it is any of our business. But with age comes more frequent urination; for me it happened pretty quickly. The bladder is less pliable and thus more frequent urination (and for me not fully evacuating.) If you are a woman ask your gynecologist about estriol (NOT estradiol) cream, it helps with this (and vaginal dryness) not that you mentioned that.
hey just wondering if you finally got a proper diagnostic of your condition? im currently experiencing all that and wanted to know if it's something that needs to be taken of asap
can you please post pictures of your "white tongue" to see what you're talking about? do you smoke?
Doctors always say results are normal, but it's not! If your results not in limit range, even small changes shows problem!!! Did they check thyroid hormones, its VERY SIMILAR signs? About yest infection: I healed it with simple soda (powder) - drinking with water or chew it a few times a day...
Hey I hope you are well.
I took medications for the parasite I have and did a stool test 10 days later and only few yest cells were found.
I also just got today a Candida stool culture and got these results.
"Occasional yeast cells" and "Growth of Candida spp. [non albicans] which is resistant to all antibiotics"
What does this mean?
Can this explain my loss of appetit, white tongue?
thanks
Looks like you can cut back a little bit on the zinc.
Looking great on your HgA1c!
Do you eat a lot of salty foods?

I am still losing rapidly my eyebrows hair and losing hair from scalp easily.
my eyebrows also itch sometime and it is mild itching what can it be? I am afraid to lose them
It's an objective symptom to have a coating on the tongue. But something I learned from a doctor when I told him about bouts for weeks of the flu is that anxiety/stress can lower your resistance (affect your immunity). God knows what's going on with your tongue, even if no doctor can find out what it is.
the thing that is not related to my anxiety for sure is this white tongue that I do not seem to know how to remove it neither doctors :s it is getting me crazy and no one knows what it is
It sounds like you don't need to do any further thyroid function testing with those three tests coming back normal. I think with your hair loss, it wouldn't hurt to get a cortisol test run.
It sounds like your immune system is working. You might find this article of interest:

I know anxiety and stress can play a huge factor on the body and cause very real physical symptoms. From what you've told me, I believe your conscience is at work and you are afraid of what might happen. Your anxiety has a foundation to it which I believe needs to be addressed.
Thank you for your input much appreciated.
I had my Thryroid function test fo TSH Free T4 and T3 and they were normal. Should I do other tests for Thyroid? should I do a cortisol test? hormone blood test?
I am still waiting for the HgA1c test.
I aslo did a CD4 CD8 test. My CD4 are 850 and CD8 550 with a ratio of 1.4.
Well my Lymphocytes are just not stable one time low other time high but still in normal range.
I think it is normal for things to fluctuate (check with your doctor on this), but if something is trending consistently upward time after time or going consistently downward time after time, the doctor might be interested in monitoring it to see if it goes outside normal range.
I just had my CBC results. I have 7.6 WBC and 20,8% Lymphocytes . 10 days ago I had 6.9 WBC and 30% Lymphocytes. 16 days ago 6.1 WBC and 22% Lymphocytes.
Is it normal to have such fluctuating Lymhocytes and WBC?
Why you do not like the last post? it was my first time to do such act and I regret it so much I never wanted to do such thing and it is like I am waiting for a punishement. I do not know if all these symptoms are only related to anxiety and stress.
The window period for HIV today is 3 months. and if these symptoms are related to this it should have showed up on the tests
I didn't read closely your last post, because I don't like it. But I will tell you many years ago, when I was in nursing school, they believed then that there was a seven month window period where if a person had contracted HIV, it might not show up in testing. I don't know what the medical community is saying/advance made in testing are today when it comes to the window period where you may not know you have it.
And I feel it is related to my encounter with a female sex worker. I had unprotected fellatio and protected vaginal. and probably my mouth came into contact with her saliva.
I tested negative for all STDs as well as 4 times for HIV last one was 22 weeks after the encounter.
Could I have cought something, a bacteria a virus, that is causing this? Or is it only my mind due to anxiety and stress...I am scared
Many thanks for your input.
What is worrying me is that for nearly 3 months I have been experiencing this loss of appetit it all started after my tongue turned white/hairy and had a temperature of 37,2 Celcius for one week...
Did you do an HgA1c test, which looks at a longer range of what your blood sugar was doing? It's probably fine, but that's the test of choice now when it comes to blood sugar.
Stress can cause both loss of appetite (which would lead to weight loss) and also can cause one to lose hair. Have you taken any steps toward stress management of late? Also, did you have your cortisol level checked?
TSH and free T4 would likely be fine to see how your thyroid is functioning.
One site says iron deficiency is often an overlooked cause of hair loss, so you might get that checked if you haven't already. The same site also lists depression and appetite loss as possible symptoms of low iron.
(See private message.)
Just an update, I still have loss of appetit, weight loss and now I am losing hair from scalp and eyebrows!!
Which thyroid test should I do? and any other tests?
I had checked my sugar levels in Janvuary and they were ok. I am in distress
thank you livinghope for your advice. I will get this checked.
*correction- your body, not you body
You might check and see if your doctor checked your thyroid function and an HgA1c to get a longer range picture of how your blood sugar is doing in you body.
Hey could you please advise to which things I should be looking into
You're welcome! But please see the other thread for a couple of things I think would be worth checking into.
