Ellie, so glad that you are alright and thanks so much for the info. Ellie, if you don't mind, i would like to ask our resident doc here a question. I have a daughter that is 20. She has always been on the petite side, short and wore a size 3 most times. Well here about 2 months ago, all of a sudden she has gained weight really quickly. Mostly from her waist down and especially her thighs. Her eating habits at home have not changed to make her gain weight like that and i have asked her if she is doing or eating anything different at work to make her gain weight. She has said no. I am really worried. Her thighs look like they could just explode. To me she seems to just be so blotted. I had her ask her doc to do a thyroid test on her, and it came back fine. She had many of the clues for it. Wanting to sleep all the time, cold when everyone else is hot and more. I have asked her to go by and get a copy of the test to see what tests they actually did. I don't have any idea what to suggest they check now, but i feel that something is not right for her to gain weight so fast for no reason at her age. My mom was a diabetic, but she seems to have no signs of that. I would venture to guess that she has gained at least 30 lbs in the last month or so. I do know that she had been getting the birth control shot for quite a while and had stopped getting it.Someone had told her that it made you gain 5 lbs everytime that you got the shot so she quite. Not taking anything that i know of, and not pregant either.
Thanks for taking the time and i hope that i am not bothering you. Sonni ( i am over in Midlife )
