for the past 2 weeks now, i've notice a decrease in my sweating. its like 80 degrees here and when i'm out, i sweat less and sometimes i dont sweat at all. also usually down there and my feet are usually smelly but now i hardly smell anything. is this normal?

Only normal for dehydration. The decrease in odor means there is no internal fluids to sweat it out properly. This means your toxins are staying inside your body with no outlet. Drink more water. The way your moods go up and down with it could indicate diabetes to some degree. Have your blood sugar checked. Basically you need a complete physical exam. These are the only things off the top of my head.

but i drink 8 23.7 fl oz bottles a day though though it makes me feel even more of a blob than i already feel because my body retains water

You need a COMPLETE physical then as this makes no sense. Definitely bring it up with your Gyno or Endo.

my primary should be back off of maturity leave. could an internist help? i usually can get into my doctors off faster than my gyno or endo because i have to wait months to see them o.o

I have hyperhydrosis and during the hot monthes and doing activity outside especially if I have to work outside I drink more than a gallon of water per day. I have drank up to two gallons. I am the one that always looked like they were caught in a rainstorm. No diabetes or anything abnormal but if I stop sweating I am in trouble. Even if I drink enough water to rehydrate, I get cramps and suffer heat exhaustion and one time borderline heat stroke or at least I think. When your head feels ten feet above your shoulders, something isn't right.

ah man, i get like that even in cold weather o.o at of random i feel like my head is in the clouds. even if i drink a lot of water, i dont sweat that much. if i estimate how much sweat i produce, i say enough water to put a thin coat on my palms

You really need to get checked out. I don't know where you live but where I do the temp is around 90-95 and the humidity level is pretty much between 90-100% during the summer months. In Southern Arizona where the humidity level is 30% on a really humid day and the temp is 110 or over, the only place I sweat is under the arms and between the legs. :embarrassed:

Jessica definately has a point Brianna. Get checked out to make sure.

every i eat something solid or anything remotely related to food, i feel like i wanna throw up. anyone know what could be causing this. i force it down my throat but sooner or later, it comes back up

We have all told you a hundred times, see a doctor.

the doctor would just say i have an eating disorder and send me to my psychiatrist -.- hell, i even started sneaking food recently though i really dont have to, its become a subconscious thing. plus i think i used up all my doctor visits for the year o:

i already had this talk with my doctor plus with a couple of psychiatrist and nurses as well. they all said the same thing "you have enough symptoms to classify you as bulimic, but due the nature of it, we cant official diagnose you" once i told them i started throwing up, that basically told them something was going on. i know i'm not crazy. i may be many other things, but crazy isnt one of them. ever since i can remember, i just didnt like food but i need it to survive so i tolerate it. just the smell alone is enough to make me wanna pass out. all the things i'm asking now, i;ve brought them up with my doctors. i'm just not getting a straight answer from them. -.- maybe i am just a basket case

Sorry, but this makes no sense at all. Doctors that can't diagnose? Uh no.

they can diagnose me for they have in the past. idk what it is and frankly i'm glad they havent. i know i aint crazy. just because i think i look like an ugly fat blob, i wouldnt purposely restrict my food intake.

It sounds like your electrolyte balance is off.
A simple blood test will tell you.
They even call it something like electrolyte blood panel.
Doctors don't just scratch their head and tell you to have a nice day.
They send you to a specialist after they look up your symptoms and decide which one or ones you should see.
When symptoms almost get you somewhere but don't really apply because of other symptoms or what you tell them,
a red flag goes off and they either find out or send you to a specialist who can.
It's pretty rare that they will send you to a psychiatrist. A psychologist maybe.
And they are specialists also. A therapist is a life guide. A psychologist digs into your mental disorders if you have any.
If they think you need meds, they then send you back to your doctor or a psychiatrist.
If they can't figure you out, they keep digging until they find out or what you tell them changes.
If you tell them crap, then the answer comes out as crap; and you wasted your time and theirs.
If they couldn't help you, you'd end up in a medical journal read by most every doctor interested in your symptoms.
Pretty slim odds of getting an end diagnoses of 'I don't know'.
If your doctor isn't following up, then get a better one.
Take charge of your life, nobody else can do that for you.

next pressing matter. i'm a 24/7 tucker now and last night for some strange reason, i felt this intense burning pain that was strong enough to wake me from my sleep. no matter what i did i could relieve the pain other than to just say screw it and let them drop. i mean like that never happened before but than again, i just learned to do it properly o.o
