First of all – I am trying to find a new dr so I can get some testing — if anyone knows of a dr in philly who is open to recommending natural treatments AS WELL as conventional/western medicine — please recommend.

I’ve gone my entire life with symptoms that point to hypothyroid. Lifelong depression, cold hands/feet, low blood pressure, hormone issues. Everytime they test my thyroid, they tell me I am fine. Twice two different doctors tested my tsh levels and said "nope you are fine" this year. I also had all bloodwork done and tests were all "normal."

Now my periods are late – but very heavy, low libido, angular chelitis, colitis bouts, fatigued all the time, depression and anxiety, and I am putting on weight for what feels like no reason. this can’t all be stress?!

I take enzymes (gabba, phenyalanine, 5-htp) for depression, sublingual b-12, multi vitamin, cal/mag/vit d, and probiotics daily. I don’t know how much more I can possibly to do help myself. I am so frustrated.

I am adding progesterone creme to the list to attempt to help the low libido…..I don’t know what else to do. I quit birth control pills hoping the low libido would regulate — it didn’t. it got worse.

Thoughts?

Any thoughts? recommendations? i know I need bloodwork – I’m working on that…
