Chula Vista

So, the other day when I went to the doc I weighed 147 pounds fully clothed and with shoes on. Last time I went I was 168. I got needles in both arms on Monday and I still have pretty nasty bruises in both places (never happened before). I've always been a clean your plate kinda guy when it comes to food. Lately I've been tossing away about a third of anything I order or make.

WTF is going on with my body???

No bull****, have they checked you for cancer yet?

They're in the process of checking for any form of plumbing cancer right now. I have a CAT scan, colonoscopy, endoscopy, and some other **** all scheduled this month. My doc told me I looked like **** the other day. (we've been together for over a decade). I told him he's gotten fat and grey.

Seriously, kinda scary right now. I've lost all of my muscle mass.

Dude don't worry it's prolly just Crones or IBS
I hope it's not cancer tho.

If it's IBS I'll blame it all on you. Life was pretty good before October 2014.

So you can't hold down food, have lost hella weight, and it's almost certainly something to do with your digestive system? It's pretty rare, but my mom had something (I can never remember the name, sorry) that had those effects, and she was below 100 pounds by the time it was figured out what she had and got surgery for it.

It was basically that she had an artery out of place that was putting pressure on her stomach, making it nearly impossible to eat solid food. She literally survived almost exclusively on protein shakes and ice cream for over a year, and when she did eat real food, she'd be sick and able to taste what she'd eaten for days afterward. Like I said, it's rare, but it may also be under reported since doctors often assume that the patient is just anorexic.

Not saying it's what you have, but just a little food for thought if the docs can't figure out what's wrong.
