Thanks BipolarMedSrudent,
I get my kidney and liver function tested every three months with my lithium levels. I had my thyroid checked about 6 months ago. All was ok. I saw an internist ( gastrointestinal specialist) after a colonoscopy with abnormal cells he suspect I had chrones. I did the chrones diet but no luck, the internist then said he didn't think it was chrones. I don't have the symptoms of chrones either. I have been tested for celiac a number of times and have been tested for so many things I can even remember. There is definitely something going on physically. I don't think that's the meds. I also get what's looks similar to a butterfly rash on my nose and across the cheeks, joint pain ect ect.

The headaches tho that's what I think might be the lithium. The weight loss, well I have no idea. I have had anorexic behavior since I was five. They tell you it should make you gain weight even faster as your body is storing up because it's starving. I wonder if I've done damage over the years and just really messed up my metabolism, or my whole body. Honestly my dr's have went from osteoarthritis, to bursitis, to celiac, to ibs, to chrones and I've been left with no definitive answers. Honestly I am soo confused about it all.
