So I am 18 years old and I have several problems that bother me a lot and I ask someone to help me. At the beginning of winter (2014-2015) something started that had never happened to me, namely the constant fatigue, weakness, fatigue and drowsiness accompanied by a slight but visible weight gain and loss of libido as well as a very increased appetite. At first the symptoms were not so strong but over time they increased. At first I thought it was because I drank valerian for a while (only a week and I know they unplug) but I stopped drinking it! And this continued. I started eating normally but that didn't help either. I thought it was from the change of seasons, but hardly. I went for tests and it turned out that I had mild iron deficiency anemia. I ate foods rich in iron and thought the problem was solved but the same problems continued. Then I despaired and rummaged through the internet. I thought it might be something to do with hormones and my thyroid because my symptoms matched. I thought it was iodine deficiency and started getting iodine ... in fact it helped the first two weeks but then problems again I'm quite desperate and I don't know what to do. :( I move normally, I play sports for at least two hours a day, I don't eat junk! Please help, I will be very, very grateful to you! :) Here's what I have in general: - drowsiness, drowsiness, fatigue. (not always but most of the time) lack of incentive. -reduced libido (this was not the case before) -slow gaining weight, although I move normally and exercise 1-2 hours a day (apparently slow metabolism) and I want to share that I used to have a relatively fast metabolism. -I don't know if it's from my metabolism but I rarely go in great need. -Increased appetite !!! (Before it was just the opposite - I had very little appetite and ate modestly, I had my favorite foods and now I eat almost everything very sweet bread, meat and jam again.) Can anyone tell me what I can have and how to heal . I will answer questions in detail thanks in advance. :)

Have you tested your blood sugar and sex hormones?
You observe yourself a lot, you go to hypochondria. Consult a PSYCHOLOGIST, here you will be even more confused. Exercise moderately, eat a varied and healthy diet and everything will be fine. You are a little depressed by the mild hypochondria that bothers you.
When you try to limit food as before, then see how you will feel. The other looks like hypochondria.
Check your thyroid hormones.
Read this and see if it responds to other than the symptoms you mentioned: http://flyovertheworld.blogspot.com.es/2012/12/blog-post_12.html?m=1
Today, once again, I went to the doctor with the same symptoms and finally left with a diagnosis and a prescription. After loads of research, it turned out to be ... depression. The most common depression! I'm physiologically completely healthy, but I've been like a rag for two months. And here's what it was - depression. I share this just to reassure you that sometimes things look bad and the problem is simple and easy to solve. But each case is individual, and we here in the forum are not medics. Contact your personal physician.
FROM THE AUTHOR: I doubt this is "Hypochondria", I'm not that kind of person and I always pay maximum attention to the symptoms before judging what's wrong with me, but the thing is, I don't really know. As far as I know from the tests, when I was told that I had iron deficiency anemia, I realized that I had a little sugar in my blood and it was thick as my mother said like a grandfather. At number 6 I want to say so since I was a child I have always been nervous and stressed as a child they poured a bullet dozens of times and I have constant tics from 6 years old and have not stopped and when I was a psychologist he told me that I am very nervous but that's it I've been 5-6 years old since I was little, but all my life I haven't been like I am now and I would even say that soon I feel calmer than before ... meaning I was much more depressed than now and I haven't had any problems.
And if you are depressed you have to lose weight and I gain weight and I have not dropped out 24/7, but there are many such moments during exercise as well. Depression makes me feel sad or sad, I know I've been in this state but now I don't think so.
And I think it's depression.
Do you feel dry in your mouth and do you feel like drinking water? You may have high blood sugar, but I think it's a hormonal problem. I had similar symptoms that I had a blood draw, I went around 100 doctors and no one found anything, but I was convinced that I was very ill. I stopped thinking bad things and things disappeared :) But it's good to do blood tests, I'm squeezing my palms so everything is ok! :)
Forget about sugar - eat honey. Less meat. Red quality wine 2 glasses a day after a very light dinner. Eat everything that you don't like. Non-alcoholic packed with chemicals. Toothpaste with fluoride. Chewing gum with sweetener aspartame-no. Drink only demineralized water by the method of reverse osmosis. Learn to eat once a day (at lunch). Eat Live Food - Real. Energy drinks - no. Alcohol - yes a little red wine - is super useful. Good luck.
All I can tell you is: Never check your symptoms on the internet ... you can be quite scared :)
Don't listen to them, there is no such thing as depression - depression is a symptom of other health problems, hypochondria is nonsense too - no one just starts to imagine that he has something. To the author - almost certainly the problem is in the thyroid gland - be sure to stop bread - cereals break down the thyroid gland, replace sugar with fruit, meat should be dry - because the other contains polyunsaturated fats and they also suppress the thyroid gland - it makes everything right as you described it and people like you are many, but not so young. In the morning, when you get up, measure your temperature, if it is below 36. 5 degrees - then the thyroid gland is certainly slowed down.
I don't want to scare you because I'm not quite sure, but it looks like diabetes to me because you mention fatigue and stuff. I suggest you get tested, but it's quite expensive, unless you do it with a home appliance, but it doesn't measure complete tests, only blood sugar.
Examine the hormones. If nothing shows, then everything may be in your head and you are going through such a period. Just because you think you have something doesn't mean you have something.
From the Author: Thanks to everyone for the answers. And hormones and where and how can I do research? What is the procedure? Thanks in advance.
