Question by Jack C: Parasites? Thyroid? Candida? What could be wrong?
These symptoms started about 5 years ago and after about 1 year and a half they sort of went away (or I got used to them more). However, the past year they seem to have returned with a vengeance and are really affecting me. I have literally no motivation to do anything, and on my days off (even with enough sleep) I am sluggish, tired, and unmotivated.
My biggest symptoms include:
- Severely constipated (chronic)
- Dry hair, scalp/face, and diffuse hair loss on scalp, and eyebrow hair loss
- Bad gas right after eating
- Undigested food in stool (sometimes vegetables, sometimes what looks like white seeds)
- Lack of motivation, brain fog, mental fatigue etc…
- Bloated after eating
- CONSTANT hunger (prefer sugar & carbs), especially at night, but I always need to snack even in between meals.
- Powerfully hard heartbeat that keeps me up at night at times, I can feel the entire bed vibrate from it
- Decreased motor skills, from coordination to talking
- Acid Reflux / Acidic feeling stomach
- Loss of libido (has only come on in the past few weeks)
- Very bad breath, and incredibly dry mouth especially in the morning
- Muscles twitch all over from head to toe, randomly throughout the day
- Recently, oral thrush (I don’t think Candida started these symptoms, back when they started I had never taken antibiotics in my life that I can remember and ate reasonably well. Nobody in my family has been unhealthy besides me).
Some general things about me:
- Don’t have any weight issues, always have been very skinny and still am. I try to put on weight (I work out A LOT) but fail to do so, regardless of eating a ton.
- I have 3-4 amalgam fillings, 1 of which is from a broken molar and has been broken for a couple years (but after my symptoms first showed)

Maybe ALL … I have had all at same time. But maybe just thyroid.
Have you had your thyroid tested? You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but, for diagnosis, may not mean much if ANTIBODIES are present which is indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between HYPER & HYPO at start)…it is the main cause of eventual HypOthyroidism but worse (...OR Graves Disease - HypERthyroid).
WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.
