I know this is an absolute long shot, but what about a thyroid test? For
me that was the key.... nothing was working, I came to a point was
gaining weight like crazy even on the met, my hair was falling out - and
then my TSH level came back as 9.5. Since starting on meds for it I
feel SO much better, I am like a new person once again. You may have
already had this done but if not, it might bear looking in to.
