When I was 4, I saw crows on an electrical pole wire and asked my mom, "Why don't they get shocked?". Problems started in my late teens when I started thinking much more and doing a lot less. I was diagnosed very late, couple of years back(I will be 24 in march). Since I was thinking so much and doing nothing, I started to withdraw from social activities and neglect studies. That led rise to my severe depression which further fueled my "thinking problem" which developed into something much more sinister. Thoughts were generally negative(suicide, injury to self/others, destruction, death) etc. I used to keep thinking about how I'm going to cut my face for days. You know you are getting sucked into it but you can't use your will power/determination(as commonly misunderstood by a lot of people, including me before my diagnosis) because your "Mind is not your own". Someone else has to help you(guide, counselor, parent, friend) and some people need medication too. Hope that's enough of my bakwaas, . Immediately stop ALL forms of exercise. You will need to find a reputed doctor who specializes in repetitive strain/stress injuries. Most probably he will prescribe splints to place your arm in at night. He might also run some tests to detect nerve damage(if any). DONOT RESUME EXERCISE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Impressive weight loss, if you got the will, start eating boiled food (ALL MEALS) buy new clothes in a month... if u exercise (run on treadmill for 30 mins 4 days a week) weight loss will be dramatic... no side effects.

^^Dude, your weight is FINE.

Normal healthy BMI is between 18.5-25 and you're 22 so don't worry.

Very critical point

My last thyroid, liver function and kidney function test results were normal. I'll be taking another test sometime in December.

^ Then you need to do something very extreme.... boiled food ftw... just try for 10 days.... u'll get hooked....

Losing weight is easy apparently....in my case its also automatic!

I was 127 this Jan, and guess what, i didnt even do anything to lose it....
Im 97 now! Still going down....

What changed? Just wasnt at home no more....hate the food here, dont snack, walk more....no concious effort, just had to change!

Ill think of gymming once i hit 80....
Oh an btw, its not sudden, and its no ailment, im fitter than ever, and im loving it!

LOL Good one

Hmmm eating spicy food does help in increasing your metabolism.. atleast to an extent.. like chilies and turmeric. Turmeric infact increases the level of testosterone in the body.. which itself helps fight fat accumulation... probably in case if the levels are not normal initially.. many times that could be the reason for being fat.

^ Rather than getting into that stuff blah blah what does was... eating spicy food also strains our digestive system, we indians are used to it, if a foreigner eats highly spicy food they can fall sick, they love it though

[broar94]

^^ Simply because they are not used to eating spicy food. Once they start eating, they'll be fine you'll see
