    Rachel, have a FULL thyroid panel done. Hypothyroidism often manifests as a myriad of other problems and is often extremely difficult to diagnose. Hair loss, intestinal problems, hormonal imbalances, exhaustion, brainfog, anxiety, fibromyalgia, migraines,  and many other symptoms can be linked to hypothyroidism.

    The fact that you seem to have a bunch of random symptoms points towards the possibility of hypothyroidism. I only say this because I've been there.

    Good luck!

    Hi Rachel87453

    Do you know what your Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B9 Folate levels are?

    I am not a medically qualified person but some of the symptoms you describe and the fact that you say you have severe fibromyalgia, plus possible gastro problems, suggests that you may have a Vitamin B12 deficiency and you really ought to be tested for it by your doctor.

    I wish you well.

    Hi Rachel, I hope things went well with your doctor and the appointment gave you a better perspective on the causes of your symptoms. I just wanted to mention that both diabetes and fibromyalgia are chronic illnesses that are well treated by stem cell therapy. Stem Cell of America is a leading clinic for this treatment. Best of luck to you.
