What Causes Memory Loss While Suffering From An Autoimmune Disorder?

Hi, an autoimmune disorder has been passed down and effected all of us different. I have had Vitaligo for 25 years. In the last 3 years I sustained an enormous amount of stress, I dropped 30 lbs in less than 2 months, then lost another 10, I had no appetite. I slowly started getting better, my appetite normal again, but cannot gain any weight back, trying several ways=wieght/mass gain products, following nutritionists instructions, I still remain extremely under wieght, I have periods of severe fatigue and can sleep for 2 days only waking up to eat\water (and I still lose weight somehow too), I have begun bleeding abnormally heavy, no longer on regular menstruation cycle, I unexpectedly bleed a large, fast amount of uncoagulated, water consistency bright red blood, that pours then stops, I lost a lot of hair as well, I catch myself holding my breath at times and notice clenching my teeth, I am always cold, I have trouble with focuss, concentration, and difficulty with verbal communication, Family and friends are having trouble understanding me, small tasks seem harder and take me much longer to finish-if I finish. Easily distracted, very forgetful, and spend more time searching for what things I misplace. If this were normal for me, I would not be worried, the stress I once had is gone and has been for the last year . Now I have no idea what is causing this. Thank you

Hello,

As you explain the history I think you should see a neurologist specialist. He probably orders ahead MRI.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
