[emoji119]???? Thank you for crashing this post. [emoji2]

Gingeryank, thank you for sharing your post. Hope you feel and get better. After reading your post I believe my wls has been impacted with something similar to you but I'm just learning about my new symptoms and kept wondering why I haven't been as successful as others, aside from my injuries but also my pain which your posts rang a bell in my head. Reason why I've come here to search if anyone else with the wls was experiencing and autoimmune disorders since their wls. I need to find a specialist to help me find out if I suffer from any autoimmune disorder. What sort of doctor did you see for your autoimmune?? I had my WLS Nov. 2013 and due to low back and knee injury I was never able to workout nor do weights. I've lost of total 55 lbs combined pre/post surgery. I've gained a few pounds but have go up and down and have been able to maintain so that's a good thing. And even though I'm losing pounds I'm still losing inches slowly but still happening. I'm on the site today to research if any other have experience a sudden autoimmune disorders. I most certainly felt the fatigue after the wls but progressed and here and there when not feeling would go see me my primary doctor with symptoms of feeling achy flu like symptoms and she would order lab work and few times lab shows high wbc and she would tell me it could be S virus I'm fighting and just to rest up. More recently I've suddenly got a fungus on my toes nails, mainly the big toes, I'm very clean/shower etc and was dumbfounded to learn I had this toe fungus and unclear how I got it. Then I started getting these weird scaly red bumps that itch like crazy on different part of my body, they itch more at night. So I then went to see a dermatologist and prescribed Jublia for my toes nail and a fungus lotion for my body rash. Well 5 months out and I still can't get rid of both the toe fungus or rash that conf and go. Now another issue, with last 3 weeks I've been experiencing major pain/aches on my finger/hand joints So I started to research cause of fungus, joint pain and lean be yo possible autoimmune disorder and possibly to also see rheomologist for joint pain. What I've learned to eat for home all natural remedies is to eat fresh garlic and add apple cider vinegar to my diet/food intake which helps with detoxing our digestive system without killing our natural bacteria. I've also recently started to shed lots hair like I did 4 month after my wls. Since I had my surgery I also learned that it may cause autoimmune disorders and I believe my wls may be the culprit as I eat well and healthier more than ever and all these symptoms started after my wls. Today I go see my endrocongist and wil inquiring with her of yo refer to an autoimmune doctor, not sure if she handle these condition as she's treating me for my hypothyroidism which I became after wls and for my type 2 disburse which I had prior to my wls Thought to share my experiences and not sure if 100% related to wls but didn't have any of the issues before. I hope everyone feels and gets better and will share anything I learn as I go. Take care!

Thank you Cat268 I'm going to try it!! Most definitely worth the cost. Also read another post in here there's a monistat itching relieve powder and several ppl have used for yeast under beast or under tummy as our skin loosens up more and more with the weight loss. Willing to try all suggestions, than you for yours. ????

Hi Todd, have you informed the doctors you feel shaky after the drink? Also what came yo mind when you said your throat feels it closes up, it a sign of possibly you're allergic to the drink, first sign when you eat or drink some you're allergic your esophagus starts to feel tight as it swell. Please let your doctor know f you haven't and keep and eye out if it's a particular brand or all. It also be one of the Protein drink ingredient if it happens with all. But if it's happening with just Water than it's clearly you still need the doctor to help make more space for you. Is it all Protein drinks or just one on this question too. I did notice my heart raced and at times after my Protein Drink that were soy powder based. I haven't told my doctors, as I keep forgetting but I assuming it's all the Vitamins in the protein drink that causes it. The ready to go Premier Protein don't to the severity the powder mix did but was also a different brand. Please ensure to discus these symptoms with your doctors I hope you feel better, keep up posted.
