What specialists have you seen and what testing has been done?
Have you seen an endocrinologist to check hormones and thyroid?
Have you been to a cardiologist for stress testing?
Did you have Covid and the injections?
Have you been to a neurologist to be tested for small fiber neuropathy? You may need neuropathy bloodwork to check glucose and vitamin deficiencies/toxicities.
Are you a vegan or vegetarian? Do you take any medication or supplements? Do you have heavy menstrual cycles and have you had your iron checked with a full panel (not just CBC)?

Dry eye, dry mouth. Dry skin, etc. I just saw an endocrinologist who ordered labs. A few of them came back abnormal but not all. And he had warned me that taking Tylenol before testing might cause a low false positive. I can’t avoid Tylenol due to chronic pain and it being in my
