No, my symptoms are not like that at all. I went into great detail about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/12194311
It's entirely possible that my issue is, at least in part, psychosomatic, so maybe a psychiatrist will help? Who knows.
I also lost a ton of weight. I've gone from 260 at the beginning of last year to 180 now. I'm at my ideal BMI weight but I still look fat, which is fun.
Yeah, that is pretty different. I assumed it was similar from "can't eat solid food" but I never felt turned off from food, I'd just feel incredibly awful after eating so I stopped eating. Tried surviving on a bunch of different semi-liquid things before I found something that worked. I got medically underweight before gaining some back, and the weight loss was kind of a bonus after I felt better. People I knew told me "wow, you look great!" and I was like uh, thanks... funny how being dramatically unhealthy made people think I was more healthy.
Well, hopefully Mayo manages to find you some answers!
I hope so. Thanks!
