Hi, I m 15 years old and I m constantly feeling thirsty. It doesn t matter how much I drink, I still feel that thirst in my mouth. I am fatigue, tired and dizzy. My muscles ache as do my joints and bones. Also I feel either really hot or really cold and dry skin can be a problem. I don t know if all of that is down to one cause or a couple or none at all but I m hoping you can help me. I should mention that I have coeliac disease and lactose intollerant. I haven t been tested for lactose intollerace but I was having extremely bad stomach pains and I had loads of spots and as soon as I cut out milk my skin completely cleared up and my stomach aches went. I went to the doctors yesterday and asked for a blood test for diabetes but maybe it s something else?Please help
Dear sir, you did right by testing for diabetes as these symptoms may be due to abnormal blood sugar level. Also, you should have a CBC as you might be having a low HE count that may be the cause of the muscle pain and fatigue. I advise that you eat healthy and increase your daily consumption of protein, vegetables and fruits.
