Suggest Treatment For Headaches, Funny Taste In Mouth
Question: Hi,
Lately I have had headaches, funny taste in mouth, constant thirst, urine smells "nutty" at times, sudden weight gain and water retention. My skin feels very tight and puffy. I also have random white dots on my arms. I am a uterine cancer survivor of one year. Oct 2013 I had a total hysterectomy, apindectomy, and gallbladder removed. In XXXXXXX 2014 a 3mm polyp was removed from colon. I also had kidney stone in April 2014 and still have pain in kidney areas and where gallbladder surgery was. And idea what this could be? Also tired for no real reason and at times feel shaky. I'm a 37 yr old white/American XXXXXXX female.
