Can't help you here: Your problem could be hormonal, nutritional, metabolic, neurological, or genetic. It could be medically benign & symptomatically easily treatable or it could be really serious. Your post is only the beginning of the diagnostic process, not the end. You need to see a live doctor who can take a thorough history & do a complete physical exam. Best of luck & I hope you get the help you need.
