I started univeristy in 2000 and began being sick after eating. Everybody thought I was bulimic despite me regularly going my GP to get to the bottom of the issue. I had more tests and scans than I care to remember and after 18 months of pain, vomiting and generally feeling unwell I was rushed into hospital. After an endoscopy I had emergency surgery to remove my appendix only to find out there was nothing wrong with it. Eventually I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease - after two more operations 7 years ago and with daily medication I am living a normal healthy life again. I don't know if this information will help you but I hope it does.

   Ask Dr. Chand. He is always in the Advertiser giving advice.

   I would suggest having a blood test to rule out a thyroid problem.The symptoms the wieght loss and tiredness sound like this may be the problem. Having a baby increases hormone levels and your throat in the middle looks swollen. Its an idea not a diagnosis, i have thyroid problems. Hope you find out what it is soon in the mean time keep fighting and i wish you well.
