Extreme weight loss, dizziness, and weakness on feet

[carolcaruthers286]

I too have had extreme weight loss - 100 pounds over the last 22 months.  I started out at 285 in October, 2008.   I am 60 years old, female, and a breast cancer survivor (4 years).  I just completed a bone scan, a CT scan of chest/abdomen/pelvis, which showed nothing.  Also, a CT of the brain, which only found a brain was in there (sorry for the gallows humor!) and a sinus infection.  I have a pacemaker.  I quit smoking many years ago (more than 5 or 10.)

I'm also dizzy and weak on my feet, sometimes so the point where I fear showering without falling.  I live alone.

Any ideas?

Deffinately go and get that checked out! I mean Im only 16 so dont think Im trying to solve your case or anything but heres some ideas?
-Hyperthroidism?
-Diabeties? (Altough does anyone in your family have it? Or do you have excessive thirst?)
Hope this might help.
Much Luck to you though.

Hi.
On reading your post, the first two things which came to mind straight away, was Thyroid, and Diabetes.
Have you had a Thyroid, and a diabetes, along with a full blood count done.

I hope this helps.
