Common Questions and Answers about Weight gain joint pain fatigue
weight
I got diagnosed with hsv2 last fall. After continual outbreaks my doc finally put me on suppression therapy. I've had weight gain depression and now joint pain. It's a 6 month dose and one month to go. Does the joint pain go away after dosage is done? Does the weight come off? I exercise regularly and eat properly. Depression I know is a mental battle. I just don't like the joint pain as I'm trying to get this weight off.
I have been having issues for about 2 yrs know, i have been dealing with vertigo like symptoms about 1 wk after the influenza B strain. Was told it would go away in a week or so,it lasted for about 8-9 months really bad off and on. I was misdiagnosed with Meniere's Disease,still have the ringing in the ears, mild to severe allergies that i have to take shots for.
I have seen Inner Ear specialist, Rheumatologist,all test come back normal.
Hello, I really need help in trying to decipher my test results since my doctor hasn't called me yet with the results. I get the results online (emailed). So here are my results.
ANA PATTERN: SPECKLED
ANA TITER: 1:80
ANA SCREEN IFA: POSITIVE
DS DNA AB: 13 IU/mL
RHEUMATOID FACTOR: 8 IU/mL; normal?
Abs Monocytes Auto 168 cells/uL which is low
MPV 11.9 fL considered high
Symptoms are; fatigue, weight gain, headaches, infertility, irregular periods, back & shoulder pain, joint stiffness.
It is possible to lose or gain weight. (Personally, I gained weight.) A list of non-joint related symptoms include but are not limited to:
Fatigue.
A loss of appetite.
Weight loss.
Mild fever.
Numbness and tingling in the hands.
Are either of you being treated for RA and/or the pain associated with it? What are you taking?
What type of exercises are you doing? For how long each day? How many calories are you eating each day and what type of foods?
Have you had your thyroid checked to make sure you don't have hypothyroidism? Hypothyroidism is a major cause of weight gain/inability to lose weight. Ask your doctor to test TSH, Free T3 and Free T4.
I have fatigue and no motivation to do anything. I have weight gain and hair loss. I also get kidney stones frequently. I have tested for autoimmune diseases and they came back negative but my CRP was elevated. My NP said she thought it was an overuse injury because I have 2 kids. It doesn't make sense to me. I have also developed a red rash across my cheeks and nose. I have typical lupus symptoms but tested negative
What else could it be?
Also, make sure you drink plenty of water (not soda or juices) and that you walk a lot... A LOT (walking will help also with your joint and back pain later on in pregnancy and when your belly grows). Sleep is important too, because lack of it puts your body in alert stage and makes you store food to have spare of energy! Good luck!
Typical symptoms of hypothyroidism might be fatigue, constipation, weight gain, dry skin/hair, hair loss, muscle/joint pain. Typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism might be fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, mood swings, and of course, the rapid heart rate/palpitations. Some symptoms, such as fatigue and muscle/joint pain can apply to either/both.
Please post your actual thyroid hormone levels and be sure to include reference ranges, which vary lab to lab, so we can better assess your situation.
Thank you for your response. It's very helpful to me. Yes, I do have symptoms, but they seem to be mixed, some hypo- & some hyper- thryoid characteristics, i.e. weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, frequent bowel movements, inability to focus/concentrate, can't remember squat, anxiety, intolerance to heat, itchy skin, brachycardia, shortness of breath, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, palpitations, muscle stiffness and joint pain.
If she does not take any replacement and her TSH goes too high for too long she can become physically and mentally sluggish, develop muscle and joint pain, lose great amounts of her hair, gain weight from the inactivity caused by the fatigue and muscle aches and/or also gain 10-15% of her weight in water, have increased cholesterol, develop heart problems (my aunt had a heart attack at age 30 from her thyroid, it's rare because most people take treatment, but my aunt wasn't taking tre
, Some of the symptoms you stated are thyroid symptoms, such as Insomnia, fatigue/Energy Loss, Muscle Joint pain, stiff,achy neck, Depression, weight gain , Anxiety and dry skin. The others you mentioned could be side affects of the Anxiety medication you are taking are symptoms of Diabetes, those are Frequent Urination and Odor
It is difficult to advise or give opinions without lab results and the ranges provided with each result.
