I'm scared

[Carlizia]

Im 18 and used to be a very healthy, happy outgoing person. Now I am always tired, weak, sore, my muscles and joints are stiff and sore, I get major headaches, ear aches and pain behind one eye. I have lost about 4-6 kilos and my appetite and thirst have increased.I get nausea and stomach pains. My skin is extremely dry and very very itchy. The doctors have no idea whats wrong and the symptoms are getting worse. Please help me. I have come looking on the internet as a last resort!

Hi,

How are you?
It is possible that your symptoms are due to high blood sugar levels or diabetes. Please get your blood sugar levels checked.
Hormonal disturbances like thyroid dysfunction can cause weight loss, weakness, fatigue and dry skin. Please get yourself evaluated for thyroid also.
In the meantime please make sure that you are not unduly stresses, eat healthy and exercise regularly.
Take care!
