Exclamation Getting pretty scared at the moment. Any advice at all?

I've been like a stick insect for my whole life. Before last Christmas, I was just over 7 stone. That was okay for me. That was pretty "safe". Then I got ill...My weight fell to just 6 1/2 stone. And now it's still dropping. I do eat. I've started eating the big meals which the University sells in their canteen (like huge Subs, Stir-Fry meals and so on) but still I'm losing weight. Now I'm just above 6 stone.

I don't know what to do. I've tried weight-gain drinks but they don't do any good. Eating more isn't working. I spent a week with my brother in Scotland eating pies, chocolate spread on toast, chips (fries for you Americans :P) and sausage butties. Did I gain any weight? Nope.

I do have some "curves". I have, for my size, decent sized breasts and some weight on my thighs, but other than that I look like a skeleton.

It's driving me insane. My weight has always bothered me, but now it's getting to a point where I'm actually scared. I have recently had a blood test, where they said my Thyroid levels were a bit abnormal so they tested again last week. I haven't heard anything else though, so whether they're back to normal I don't know.

I am so scared that I will eventually get to a point where I actually collapse because I have no more weight left to lose... I don't know what to do. Last time I weighed myself, I was just one away from being dead on 6 stone.... Someone please help!

Your thyroid could be causing the weight loss. Have you been able to see your doctor yet?? I would suggest drinking some Ensure shakes. Don't know if you have them over there they are just nutritional shakes, otherwise try some milkshakes to put on some weight until you see your doctor. Im hoping its just an over active thyroid, and some medicine will put on some weight for you! Please keep me updated, and good luck!!
