    I don't know what's wrong with me
    Im 24. I started losing weight back in nov or Dec.. I lost all together 20lb I was 109 in aug of last year I'm currently around 91lb.. during this time I also started having stomach problems that was diagnosised in early march as Gastroparesis (I'm not a diabetic). I feel lightheaded most of the day. This tends to effect my vision, but I can't explain how things look different, they just do. My eyes feel very strained and tired, even when I get good sleep at night. I have little energy or desire to do anything I used to enjoy. I also, within the last month, started having headaches that come and go throughout the day. I occasionally have night sweats and hot flashes. I'm starting to feel very overwhelmed and frustrated by this. I have been to a number of different types of Dr. that have examined me and all my blood work is normal. The last Dr. I saw started me in phyical theapy for my headaches. I have been eating well 3 full meals a day and drinking 3-5 ensures a day for a month now. I have not gained weight nor do I feel better. I'm not sure what to do or where to go from here since my blood work and everything is coming back normal. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I think possibly, bump, an MRI is in order, which are probably quite expensive where you are if in the US without health insurance.

    YOu can't tell me that all the doctors you say you have been to cannot tell you what is wrong. Your blood work cannot be normal given what you are explaining as symptoms. But... some could be symptomatic.

    Three full meals a day plus three to five ensures a day is just too much protein bump. Totally excessive. The only people who need that much En sure are seniors with no teeth to process the food the need to survive and cannot get protein from anything else.

    Get another doctor and start from scratch. Get your medical records in your hands from your last doctor so he has a starting point.
