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...

I've noticed in recent years that this has been a change in how doctors communicate with patients, and there have been articles and studies about it. When doctors act alarmed, disapprovingly, and/or scold patients, it tends to be off-putting, and some patients avoid their doctors out of fear of chastisement/embarrassment which can lead to un(der)treated health issues and further problems down the road. I've noticed the same change with dentists.

Mentioning/suggesting to patients is less "threatening" and often/usually results in better communication and cooperation, but some may think the doctor's casual attitude is unconcerned.

I think what that shows is that you can't win them all/danged if you do—danged if you don't, but the studies suggest that the milder approach works better for the greater number.

I'd love to cite the studies, but I admit I'm uncharacteristically winging this one from memory.

Kinda meaningless.
Which agrees with Glenntaj (cited causes notwithstanding), and what I was thinking. What's relevant is the reason for amenorrhea.

I also agree that it's not just about calories per se. Nerves—as well as muscles, bone, and other organs—must be fed the right things to stay healthy.

Interesting about the doctors. If I think about some of my past office visits, it would make sense. With patients like us, though, it would be more helpful just to be blunt and get it out there! That is much better than constantly second guessing what triggers symptoms.

On the nutritional end, I wonder what is good and what is bad for regeneration? I have looked at the sticky thread and there is just so much information plus everybody reacts differently to specific foods. I find that caffeine, artificial sweeteners and alcohol throws me off the edge.

I googled anorexia amenorrhea neuropathy and found some useful information so thank you for that.
