I am a 31 year old female. At 21 (after coming off the pill) i experienced sever hair loss on my head which hasnt stopped to date. Ive had more than one thyroid test, several hormone level tests, and a test for genetic markers for lupus done. all tests came back with the normal reference range except the last hormone check. High DHEA and low progesterone. low estrogen to progesterone ratio (1/3 of recommended).

My symptoms for the last 10 years: major fatigue, clinical depression & anxiety, unstoppable hair loss, cold hands and feet, weight gain on arms and upper body, bloated stomach & constipation, cannot loose weight around lower stomach, low libido, popping sounds in joints (mainly knees), low concentration, abnormally frequent urination, my periods have been completely regularly until this past year.

despite doctors repeatedly telling me my hormones are not the issue i am convinced they are. please guide in the right direction on where to go or what to do, its been a decade of no answers ****
