Hirsutism with normal hormones, what to do next?

Hi,

I've been having some serious problems with unwanted facial hair.

i won't tell you what it is doing to my self confidence... and general mood.

In the last two years, I checked my hormones at least 4 times (including free and total testosterone) and everything is ALWAYS normal.

My "beard" and "mustache" are now growing faster and thicker than ever and seem to be invading more and more space on my face.

I've had Hashimoto's for over 15 years and never had these problems.

I've been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and took cortisol for a very short period of time. But my problem with hirsutism had already started.

My case has been followed by an endocrinologist and gynecologist and they are out of ideas.

My insulin levels are fine.

I seem to be a long way away from perimenopause (my doctors' words), even though I'm 41.

I don't take any meds that could have caused this.

I'm not overweight and I don't have a PCOS.

My kidneys and adrenal glands are fine...

I'm going out of my wits.

I exercise and watch my dieat (no sugar, no grains, dairy, no potatoes/pasta, no processed foods.... I eat meat rarely and try to buy organic grass fed).

I would be very grateful for some new ideas or simply experiences with this.

Thank you all!
