I am rapidly losing weight with no explanation. My diet has not changed and neither has my level of activity, which is why I am concerned, this isn’t normal for me

I am trying to set up a doctor‘s appointment within the next few weeks, but unfortunately I have been complaining about all of my issues to many doctors for ages and NOBODY Is listening, I have a sneaking suspicion this will be the same :(

how long has this been going on? unintended weight loss is a huge red flag that any doctor should catch on to. this is an asap situation, go to urgent care if your pcp can’t get you in, they should be able to order bloodwork for you

I’ve been noticing that I’ve been unable to GAIN weight for maybe 5 months (I just started college, so that was odd to me) now I have lost 5 ish pounds in about a week. I’ve had bloodwork done so many times, it’s like every other time there is something wrong, then it’s completely normal. My ANA was 4x the normal amount with my PCP for example, then just fine with a rheumatologist
