Lyme’s disease?

if NHS can't/won't sort it, go private, no brainer.
if you can diagnose it, you stand a chance of curing it
if you don't know, you can't treat it.

I don’t know….I’ve never met you
As everyone else is suggesting get him to a doctor who isn't useless, the right doctor will know immediately something is off.
At 19 you can eat nothing but crap, drink until you pass out and do no exercise and you'll still feel like you can take on the world
Hope yous get the help you need and he gets on his way to recovery

As said above we aren't doctors but don't rule out diet just because you think your son eats well.
It's actually just as common to develop food intolerances later in life as it is at birth

My daughter was having an allergic type reaction daily for 3 weeks. Doctors gave some a antihistamine and said just take that, we’ll refer her to a specialist and that’s all we can do.
As worried parents we wanted an answer sooner, she’s only 2 years old, so tried private. Cost £250 for a consultation, was in within a few days 2 minutes of been in there and showing a couple of pictures she was diagnosed. What she has isn’t something NHS staff are trained on as it’s a new thing. She would have gone through endless tests if she had gone through the NHS while her symptoms got worse. It’s a sad case that you have to pay taxes to fund the NHS and then when you need it have to pay private to get an actual answer but for your kids you’ll do anything.
Basically, if you can afford it try the private health care route. It doesn’t sound like you’ve got the time to be pee'd about and passed around by the NHS! You might have an answer and be on the road to recovery in 10 days.
saying this I don’t have any private health care for our kids, my wife nor myself so it can be expensive. One blood test would be £543 if she had needed it

Don't delete it. Your op is from a desperate dad who wants his son to be 'right'.
Very telling that when I googled about anorexia in men, there was nothing from the NHS on the first page

@BELOWAVERAGE we'd all fight for, kill for or die for our kids, that's a given, taking umbrage with folk who state the obvious isn't going to win friends or make advice from strangers any more pertinent. This is a forum where you are free to raise a question and others are as equally free to answer with peer reviewed science or post garbage. Taking your ball home isn't painting you in a good light and may indeed put an end to a thread that may in time give a glimmer of hope. Take a chill pill, wound up parents don't do anything to help kids desperately trying not to be a burden on their parents. I've nursed a sick kid and I'm sick, getting angry or petulant just affects others badly and doesn't help find closure of the issue.
I hope you find your answers. I found mine when I saw another doctor by chance. What one sees clear as day may not be on another's radar. Doctors are fallible and they operate on what they see and what they are told. Ask your son to be perfectly frank with his doctors, reassure him there is no topic he can't raise and there are no conditions you won't stand by him with even if it is medical, mental or even addiction. Set him free to talk and back him up. If you normally accompany him ask him if he wants to talk alone with the doctors. It is amazing what folk who want to be seen as strong will hide from those closest to them to avoid being seen to be weak. I've been there, got the t-shirt and the scars.
My tuppence worth as a poster not a doctor is to ask if he has been screened for Lyme Disease. Really hard to diagnose and symptoms similar to you describe and to what a good friend had.

So sorry to hear this, what a worry. Seems, from a stockman's point of view, food going in isn't get used so a multitude of things go wrong at the same time - organs, energy, etc. Sometimes hard to backtrack to the actual problem.
I presume he's been screened for leukemia? Similar symptoms, and IIRC there's different types of it, some mild but chronic.
I second going private, and a private mental health consultation too. Not to suggest there's a straightforward problem there like a hidden addiction, eating problem etc. But because our brains can be so linked the state of our health and visa versa.
The NHS are brilliant but overwhelmed. A completely different point of view is needed and the very big picture looked at - rather than piecemeal.
I had a problem for decades. 10 minutes private - diagnosed and minor surgery to fix. Changed my life.

I hope your still on here @BELOWAVERAGE, just want to say it took 18 months or over for me to get test for celiac, i wouldnt be a regualr dr goer. In the ned it was a very good nurse during a routine ashma check up who past comment and said i have had quite a few visits and asked about the set up and what i thought. I gave reference to the dr through out the window would be as much use as being there. Refered me to a different dr, started all from the start with my issues then looked at the notes and said sent me for test. Fresh eyes and she didnt worry for the previous drs thoughts untill she had made her own judgement.
Even if you can get different dr and forget the previous dr notes to see what they think.

Underactive Thyroid. That would be my first guess.
If not then maybe Lymes. Often misdiagnosed as an insect bite.

My first thought but wasn't sure symptoms were all there but certainly worth a test and bet that's not on top of DR s list of tests !
