Have you considered going to a clinic medical center where they test for everything under the sun? I could go to Cleveland Clinic if I get someone to drive me there. There are close places to stay while being treated. They also have a blood test center in my city nearby where they can test before going to Cleveland. My late husband was tested there for prostate cancer. Right now I am having another thyroid test because i suspect my medicine is not enough since I had my thyroid removed due to tumors a number of years ago. I am lacking energy to do my daily work to care for myself and I can't walk very far without breathing struggles. I have new arthritis pain after having two knee replacements and five vertebrae fused with a metal cage to hold it. My shoulders are painful and I am refusing surgery at age 85. I managed to pull weeds for a couple of hours with resting periods last night and slept a little better from exhaustion. I am not accepting that I must sit in a chair and knit at my age. I am trying to not have to give up gardening after 65 years of producing wonderful vegetables.
I think we need to find the right doctor who has better insights into individual problems. We are all different in many ways. Dorisena

My doctor has suggested further testing I can do, but nothing really seems to fit my symptoms. I do have an appointment set up with a different endocrinologist for a 2nd opinion, but that's not until July.
