Yes, I have looked into it. Over and over again, for decades. That has been my thinking all along. If I could just get my hormones right, the fatigue would go away and I would feel better. But even when the blood tests say everything is at the level they want it at, I am still just profoundly exhausted and weak. This Duke endo actually wants to reduce my hydrocortisone from 30 mg per day to 20 mg per day, and I am already struggling at the higher level. She has switched me from Cytomel to Armour Thyroid, but I can't tell a difference in the tiredness.

However, a hormone imbalance doesn't explain the loss of balance, the chronic cough, the running out of breath halfway through a sentence, the blurry vision, etc, which are all recent developments. And I had the weak muscles and extreme fatigue even at the age of 12, long before the glandular failures occurred.

I would love it if this was a simple hormone imbalance, but something else is going on. I just don't know what.
