My age is 29, from the last 4-5 months I have been experiencing strange symptoms. All my joints are cracking, muscles are weakening day by day. It appears that the Flesh beneath skin is vanishing. Sometimes I feel mild pain while moving my joints. Mild nausea, previously I had bowel movement once in 3 days now it is on daily basis, it seems like the body is not able to properly absorb nutrients. I can see losse skin on my hands, arm pits etc. The strangest thing is that if I put flashlight under my hand then I can clearly see the veins, why the flesh had become transparent? Hair loss from all over body, especially from the scalp. 2 Months ago I gone through a number of tests and the only thing came up was Vitamin D deficiency (23 ng/ml). Montly dose of 200,000 IU was prescribed. Itchining on skin, it gets red too quickly. What all of these symptoms may meanm not that I do smoke about 10 Cigrates a day and slo take Tea 2 times a day. Furthermore I was not tested for Kidney and Thyoroid. Could there be any problem with these two?

    Hv you looked into lyme disease?? The joint issues esp the cracking is a big symptom plus Lyme can be spread.. You need specialist LLMD (Lyme Literate Dr) as mainstream Drs just try to prescribe anti depressants... sad

    Sad to say but everyone in this comments section suffering with these symptoms is suffering undiagnosed Lyme Disease. Ive been through it all and still going through it. Fibromyalgia/CFS/LUPUS/ME is all undiagnosed Lyme Disease and other Tick borne co infections but NHS will never tell you that just send you away with gabapentin and pregaba . You all need to find a Lyme Literate Doctor someone experienced in treating these pathogens its not all in your head at all and CBT will do nothing. NHS will deny you have Lyme and even if they do accept you have it they will offer you two weeks antibiotics and send you on your way which is ludicrous , HIV treatments is indefinite , Syphilis the same shape bacteria of Lyme 3months to 1 year , TB 1 year antibiotics. You cant kill cronic infection with two weeks of doxycycline . Most of you will also test poss for range of viruses EBV,CMV,CPN and many more where the immune system is so compromised. Steroid and pain meds is the worst thing for these pathogens as they al lower the immune system. Not promising you will get your life back but many can you just need to go in the right direction the NHS will let you die.

    @jacob86424, Akjrod83,  jeremy04366 and all the others: how are you doing now? 

    I've a lot of the same symptoms and they seem to get worse over time. I've had more than 50 tests done in different hospital since February 2017. Each doctor is telling me something different. So far, I've been diagnosed with over 15 various conditions (see below).

    The last doctor I visited diagnosed me with malnutrition due to acute or chronic pancreatitis based on a fecal fat testing. I started last November with enzyme therapy. I gained some weight, but only in my abdominal area. In other areas I'm still losing fat and muscle. Also my doctor advised me to start with physical therapy to work on my condition and build some muscle strength. I started about 2,5 ago, which is too short to draw conclusions. Anyways, I'll keep you posted and also look forward to hear back how you all are doing. 

    Cheers, J
