my body has become in a cachexiac state. I have lost all muscle tone and fat. loosing over 30 pounds ( 15 of which was within the last 6 months ). I have no energy and exist in 24/7 pain. some of which is simply from being so emaciated, leaving all bones unprotected, that sitting, lying down or slight pressure from clothing on back , hips & buttocks adds to my discomfort and inability to function. When I started to not feel right in 10.2017 - pain, increased heart rate & physical anxiety, frequent migraines, loss of some weight due to nausea, and increase in pain. then 07.2020 I became I'll to the point of remaining in bed for 2 weeks with covid/flu/stomach bug symptoms , night sweats, chills in the bones yet quickly overheated & unexplained , rashes, confusion, pain on a 10+ level daily. however never have I had a fever.... I had multiple tests and repeat tests ran by 3 ERs and 2 doctors. but no diagnosis. I had given up quickly in pursuit for more answers. first, I believed it was undiagnosed covid and its' after effects. And due a prior experience with an undiagnosed condition, for over 5 years, that led to 2 emergency surgeries, biopsies and 2 other surgical procedures. so now I am wasting away. I am unable to complete simple tasks without complete exhaustion, even washing dishes as my legs are barely able to hold me. I in my heart feel like my life is coming to end within the near future please someone tell me if you have experience with CACHEXIA and disease or disorder that led to that. or if you any of my symptoms. anything. is helpful. and I am happy to answer any questions. nothing is too personal for me

      I understand exactly what you are saying and how you are feeling. Although I still do not know what has caused my weight loss, I'm 5'6" and weigh 97lbs. I know what you mean when you talk about how it hurts to sit, lay, stand..there is literally nothing between the bones and the skin. I call them the hot spots...like my hips, back, tailbone, etc..the things that seem to get "hit" more often then other spots. It really seems like a viscious cycle, weight loss causes you to be exhausted, your exhausted becaue your not getting the required amount of nutrients to sustain you daily, and can't eat to get them becaue you get nauses and sick. I've never been a "big" person to start with, so losing the weight was a drastic change for me. All of us here are going through more things then any "typical" person does so it's hard for them to understand sometimes why we think and feel the way we do. Just remeber you are not alone!! We have each other
