I just want to thank everyone for encouraging me to go get lab work done. I had been experiencing a lot of strange things: hot flashes, extreme fatigue, weight gain that I could not lose (belly fat for the first time), etc. Got a new provider because I had been seeing mine for these issues for three years and she did not do crap. This provider did a full lab work up and it turns out my hormone levels are on the low end for someone considered post-menopausal. I am 27! So low for someone my age. It all makes sense now. Of course I could not lose weight, I am basically post-menopausal and estrogen is stored in fat, so my body wants to hold onto my fat. So, now is the trial and error process to work on these hormones, hopefully I see improvement soon, I am sick of this weight and I am sick of being so tired I cannot make it through a day at work.
