Dear Bizi

i agree with hormonal bloodwork including gyn and thyroid. i would see your mdoc for starters. might be able to recommend an endocrinologist that can cover all the bases.

adrenal insufficiency tends to happen in the scenario Di described - when someone is on steroids and they are not removed gradually enough. you have not taken oral steroids, so it seems less likely to me. still, they can check your adrenal function.

i also had the same reaction as Di wrt thyroid function. those can be signs of thyroid hypoactivity. other signs of that would be

• constipation
• brittle hair and breakage
• brittle nails/ridging
• dry skin
• feeling cold more than is "normal for you"
• weight gain w/o change in diet.

females over 50 are at highest risk of developing hypothyroidism.

even though you have lost some weight, i kind of wonder because you are on a diet, and did not lose a lot.... could be a reason for that. definitely get full thyroid panel (not just TSH) - make sure they do, at minimum:

TSH, FT4, FT3.
