Knowledgeable People Please Help Me?
Hello everyone, I am 19 years old and need the opinion of some women who know a bit about the female body. For the past two years I have been chronically losing weight and now I am an all time low of 78 pounds, and although I am only five feet tall, this is the skinniest I have ever been and no longer have a “female figure”; it’s tearing me up. I have placed myself on very strict “over-eating” diet, and forcing myself to eat as much as I can, fattening foods especially, but the weight stays off. The reason I suspect this is a female problem is because I also have pretty bad PCOS that makes it hard just to get up in the morning sometimes. I also have almost constant headaches and unexplainable depression. I shouldn’t have depression, I have more support than the Brooklyn Bridge when it comes to my family and friends, and yet I always feel so miserable.
I also have constant lower back pain…
As well as this, between 10-15 times a day I get this horrible stabbing, “twisting” pain in my right ovary, and only the right one. My pain goes from a 0 to a 100 in one second and the pain lasts for about five to ten minutes. It isn’t a rupture or anything because the pain is NOT constant, but it happens everyday.
So headaches, depression, extreme weight loss I can’t control, PCOS, lower back pain and ovary pain… what do you think?
I am getting a few procedures under anesthesia done this week to determine what is wrong with me hopefully, but before that, I just want you guy’s opinion.
And just so you know, I have an IUD in so it can’t be pregnancy, I had the doctor test me anyway and it was negative, and I also had them test me for any STD’s and I was clean. The doctor said it sounds a bit like Crohns Disease or something like that… Should I be worried? I’m only 19 I shouldn’t have to deal with this.

I would seek mediacal attention. This may not be a “Female” problem. This could be a rip in you mid secton or maybe even a form of seriouse stomic virus.
I like the Brooklyn Bridge allusion
That was cute. I heard Crohn’s Disease makes you have diarrhea freqently. Is this the case?
The most common symptoms of Crohn’s disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, arthritis, skin problems, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia. Children with Crohn’s disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth. The range and severity of symptoms varies.
There is no point worrying about it, just do what you can to live normally and fully. Apparently, it can be treated, and you might not have it for life. So yeah, less stress, more positive thinking.
btw, there is a cure for crohns, but the cure is pregnancy ( a friend of mine suffered from this for years, couldnt get over 90 pounds, had a baby girl, and all her symptoms disappeared and weighs 120 now)
did the dr do blood tests on your thyroid levels?
if not i would call asap in the morning and ask if they can check your TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies.
to me this sounds an awful like hyperthyroidism.
the number one symptom is weight loss even though you are eating normally or even much more than normal.
here is a great link to learn all about hyperthyroidism:
