Has that ever been looked into? There are many causes for this, but being very underweight is certainly a leading candidate--and that would mean a lot of hormonal abnormalities that could lead to many kinds of symptoms . . .

Yes, I have had everyone from my GP, OBGYN, Fertility Doctors, RH, Neurologist, and even alternative therapists look into the lack of menstruation. The official diagnosis is amenorrhea.
Recently, my new OBGYN pulled series of hormonal tests and my estrogen and progesterone came back unmeasurable they are so low. I considered birth control pills but decided not to add another "pill" into my body. The Tramadol and Linzess are doing enough damage for now! I am on synthroid for hypothyroidism. Now I am beginning to wonder if my thyroid stopped working because of low body weight as well...
