Title: Quick question (hopefully)
Post by: The Moan Ranger on February 29, 2008, 05:22:58 PM
Can anyone tell me why I'm eating absolutely shed-loads and weight is falling off me at an alarming rate? I feel fine, if slightly tired most days.

Not tapeworm - no segments in my stools. Can you define what you mean by "taboo"? A fondness of real ale?

There are many possible causes, none of which would justify not visiting your doctor.

Get on with it man!

Sorry DS and Berek - won't do it. I will not listen to the inane ramblings of a Quacksalve. I trust you lot (rightly or wrongly) a damn sight more.

Barman - a bike like mine would scare the purple piss out of you and you would probably lose your eyebrows - although it might match your head.

DS - you can have my Tangleberries!

Now, any serious ideas? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

TMR .... I am not p*ssing about here.

Get to your doctor .... what you are describing is the classic onset of Type 2 diabetes. Those are exactly the symptoms I had when diagnosed two and a half years ago and it was those symptoms that I was happy to ignore until the GP spotted them. In fact I was quite pleased at losing weight.

Get it sorted now or you could be looking at Heart Attacks, Amputations of toes/feet/legs due to gangrene caused by thrombosis etc. No joking mate. Forget your fear/dislike of Doctors and get your arse down there NOW!

What he siad. Could be any other thing that affects your metabolic rate (like over-active thyroid) or worse. Blood tests will sort it out quickly. Worrying about it will not help!!

OK gents, you've convinced me, although I had a full "MOT" at work about six months as was pronounced fine (but to cut down on the Young's)

Just remember, if it turns out not to be something health related you could be sitting on a goldmine (someone had to offer a potential silver lining).

And give their metaphores a good old mix.
