Please Help Diagnose my Mystery (Short, but Detailed read)
I am looking for advice. Please help me with any little thing possible. I'd truly appreciate it.
A quick summary of my symptoms:
-loss in weight, but not so much weight, but more like fat or muscle mass (i.e. I visually look skinnier to myself and loved ones)
-Over the last 3 years I've had an abodominal MRI w/ contrast, endoscopy, colonoscopy, HIDA Scan, all sorts of blood tests, etc.
-The only thing that turned up was ACID Reflux on one test, and on another test some mild Gatroparesis (but I've never actually thrown up off of it)
-I feel as if, even though I eat alot of food, that something in my body has shut down. Like the mechanism or thing that is supposed to digest the food and turn it into energy and nutrition that will be absorbed into my body is missing. What can this be? Previous blood tests don't really show malabsorption.
-Recently within the last 4 months I'm noticing that some of my bones are hurting more. It might be cuz I have less "padding" now, but I definitely want to get that figured out. Especially in places like my back-knee.
-Um...what is the best thing to tell the doctors? I have made the mistake previously of giving them all the details of my 3 year Hospital journey (I don't have a medical history growing up) , and it just puts too much stuff out there for them to sort through.
-I just turned 27 years old in September 2011.
