@contentandwell , Thank you for your time! I have already been to UCLA about 3 years ago. Nothing but a big medical bill came out of that. My only other symptoms that may or may not be related is the feeling of hypoglycemia. I've had glucose tests and use glucose monitors for a couple months, and my blood sugar always looks normal, even though I feel weak, shaky and overall ill. Eating always makes me feel better when that happens.
My weight gain is also snowballing my condition. I can't exercise properly because of the overheating, which makes me gain weight, which then makes my overheating worse, etc. At this point, I have to pick between exercising for my health or working for a living. I can't do both because of how sick I get when I exercise. It's very frustrating, because I love being active. I actually fantasize about being able to ride a bicycle to work instead of driving. Yes, that's how bad it's getting. Riding a bike to work is a fantasy to me, like owning a Lamborghini is to others.
And thank you for the links! I have come across all those pages before, but I still revisit them, comb a little more, refine searches and click additional links. It's just so weird that I seem to have such specific symptoms that don't fit any known disease, and the closest possibilities have been checked several times and always proves negative.
I will be getting an MRI done on my head, but, you know, I'm really not expecting anything to show up. One more thing to check off the list, though.

@skidmarkwarrior I know gyms can be costly, but they are generally air-conditioned. My son recently moved from L.A. (Hermosa Beach) to Denver and I know his gym was a bit expensive but his fiance went to a less expensive one. Generally the Ys have good gyms also, and I don't know if Planet Fitness is national but it is fairly inexpensive and many young people go there.

I was quite overweight prior to my cirrhosis diagnosis but I managed to lose weight. It was difficult to get started because I was hungry all of the time but that did pass. I also find that when my will-power gives out it is best to not have many tempting things around the house. With me, weight is a constant battle.

I hope/presume you must work in at an air-conditioned place. I had the opposite situation with cirrhosis, I was always cold so I am familiar with what it is like to not be comfortable due to temperature, as I am too familiar with the frustration of not having a diagnosis. Despite my diagnosis not being good, it was in some ways a relief to know what my problem was.

What are they looking for with the MRI? I have had MRIs but never on my head, I didn't even know they did that. Please keep us up to date.
