No idea what's wrong

I went to the doctor last year about unintentional weight loss. They found nothing wrong. I still haven't been able to gain weight since and possibly lost some more even though I eat normally. I am 5 ft 3 and only weight just 6 stone 3lb. I sometimes get times during the day when I feel shaky, not always when I am hungry. I also am often thirsty even after drinking a glass of water and feel tired a lot of the time. I work in a supermarket and I get the feeling of tight muscles in my legs. Any ideas?

    Beth, it sounds to me like you have type 2 diabetes. Have your doctor check your blood sugar levels. You may also want him to run blood tests on your thyroid. But if I was a betting man, it sounds like you have diabetes.

      This was a theory when I saw them last year, although I was only told my blood test results were all good

    Hi BEth, I'm on the same boat. My testable always come back positive but I keep loosing weight and feel light headed no matter how much I force myself to eat and drink. I'm taking vitamins now and want to head back to the docs because I feel minor pains now too. Has your doc checked you out for anemia? Cholesterol? Blood sugar? I often ask mine for each individually to make sure I'm good on all fronts
