Yes, I do have a LOT of endocrine issues. They are er, somewhat stable except for the tumor coming back. According to my endo, the growth hormone can cause some muscle issue, but it just would not be to this extent. I do know a lot of people who have as many endo issues as me and they are not as weak as me. The neuro, besides saying it was depression, did also say maybe it was my life *not hyped up on steroids vs my life now normal* but my husband and I assured him that my weakness went further than that. I think not being able to change the fridge water filter, fighting to lift a gallon of milk, and changing cars as I could not get out of the other one is different than just normal weakness. Besides, I went to PT and the therapist noted that I made no gains, even though I did all my routines and the ortho prescibed full body therapy. That was on growth hormone.
Whatever, I don't need a new health problem anyway. Got plenty.
