Hi and welcome to the forum. I think it might be best to see your doctor first in case the weight loss is a sign of illness.

That's better than her having a go at diagnosing you when she doesn't know enough to do that. It's good when a HCP know their limits.

Hi @kingarry1
I would be inclined to agree with Catlady. Fair play to your nurse for admitting it was beyond her knowledge or experience.
In some ways, it's saved you the time trying an opinion based on supposition...
Here's hoping for the best at the Doctors..!
