Question:
|
|
|
| I have hypothyroidism, and also have anorexic/bulimic tendencies that my doctor is unaware of. I also have been mixing metabolife and dexatrim diet pills. Occasionally I experience a dull pain on both sides of my lower back. It usually occurs a few hours after I've taken the diet pills. Could it possibly be my kidney's reacting to the supplements?

| It is not likely that the explanation you are thinking of explains your symptoms, however, this is not the main problem - needless to say, it is essential that your doctor is aware of your entire medical history and we urge you to see him/her rapidly and discuss the background as well as the present symptoms. Your doctor cannot provide you with best advice and treatment if he/she is kept unaware of important information. Disclaimer: These comments are made for the purpose of discussion and should NOT be used as recommendations for or against therapies or other treatments. An individual patient is always advised to consult their own physician.
