Help...Help!! What to do next?? I've posted before, now just got lab test results from new endocronologist...everything came back NORMAL !!
Shows I'm NOT in menopause...Thyroid Is NORMAL....Cortisol 24 hr urine test is NORMAL....Hormone levels normal..tested for Hoschinsone's & Grave's & Endronal Fatigue..ALL NORMAL!!!!
Yet, at age 45, I haven't had a menstral period in almost 2 years, and went from a 24"waist (ALL my life, even after 5 kids) to a whopping 38" waist! And have classical symptoms of either menopause or thyroid...weight gain, period irregularities (ceasing), dry skin, hair loss (I wear a wig DAILY), forgetfulness, fogginess, eyesight problems...you name it, i HAVE it!
I first followed a strict low fat bodybuilder diet for over 1 year, combined with excersize...then joined a gym, with a trainer, heavy arobics along with weight training & TONS of crunches..my arms & legs toned, but my stomach got BIGGER!!!
Tried Atkins diet for 2 weeks (twice..lost NOTHING)...now doing Schwartzbein.....STILL NOTHING...and doctors lab results keep coming out NORMAL !!
The endo I saw today said the preggo looking belly could just be "me"....WELL....maybe I should jump off a BRIDGE???? I cannot enjoy life with this Buddha Belly...sorry..no way! And the other symptoms are overwhelming also...PLEASE somebody give me HORMONES or something!!!
I just don't know what else to try??? I'm exhausted & fat stomach, and just can';t seem to find answers!!
