Hi I'm usually pretty good at figuring out health problems in people but I wanted some Ideas from the smart people here. Friend: Female, 19 years old.
She seems like she has low energy most of the time, not debilitating though, she likes to go on walks and such. She can sleep so damn long sometimes. I saw her sleep till almost 5pm one day and she went to bed at 1midnight the previous night. Its almost like she has narcolepsy. She can fall asleep so easily, like a baby would, as a passenger in the car, just sitting on the couch, esspecially in the evening. I could pick her up and move her and she wont wake up.
I don't see her eat very much. Shes eats meat and barely any vegetables. She can easily go 24 hours without food and hardly be hungry. Is gluten intolerant so no gluten. Is allergic to peanuts. Shes a healthy weight.
She gets cold easily.
Says she is usually in a sorta depressed mood but she can focus on art for the whole day is she wants to. I offer her help to feel better but it seems like there is little motivation to try anything. Thinks she will just be this way forever. She has hit her head hard a couple times in her life.
I think she has low thyriod and I'm wondering why? Maybe its an auto immune thing. My friend has some t3 and t4 and I wanted to give her an appropriate dose for a few days to see how she feels.
Thoughts? Thanks for reading.
