Cortisol deficiency, but with weight gain

I don’t know if my cortisol levels have been checked, I will need to look through all my crazy blood work. It has been since COVID and I got so sedentary that I thought the weight was from that but it just keeps coming on. If one more person blames it on my age I’m going to scream! I went from 117 to 180 since 2020 but now I go back and forth with “slight” anemia, rheumatoid factor “low” but pain and fatigue high. I struggle to stay awake most days. I’m exercising off and on through the day. Seeing a physical therapist for my knee but she’s not too intense although I’ve noticed some improvement. People don’t want to hear how shitty you feel and how frustrated I am so it makes me feel pretty isolated. Photos then & now 😵💫

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s hard to find doctors who will just listen, they all say the same thing but no one cares to actually dive deeper into the ROOT cause. It shouldn’t be this difficult to lose weight. People make it sound so easy. Just eat less and workout more! I wish it was that freaking easy!! It makes me feel pretty isolated too, I had to cry in my closet the other day because none of my clothes fits me the way it used to. But nothing in my diet or workout routine has changed !
