Severe Weight Gain Despite Good Diet, Fatigue. Diagnosed With Pernicious Anemia And Bronchiectasis. Taking B12 Injections. Do I Have Endocrine Problems?
I am a 52 year old woman who has been gaining lots of weight over the last nine years (3 stone) despite eating healthily and reasonably. I was a fitness instructor for many years, running 25 miles a week, but suddenly became extremely fatigued and was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia and now receive B12 injections. My health never really recovered and further testing uncovered bronchiectasis (mild case). I vomit most days with eating - particularly if I haven’t eaten for a long period or with carbs, have absolutely no sex drive and am tired all the time. I am a lacto vegetarian who eats lots of good food as a preference. I exercise by walking every day possible and am desperate to feel healthy again. A specialist thought I may have m.e. but I recently read an article and I feel that maybe endocrinology might be an option - especially now that I am perimenopausal. Would an endocriologist be able to help do you think?
Hi.
Thanks for choosing HCM.
You need to get your thyroid profile checked in blood.
You may also do an Ultra sound scan of abd-pelvis. Revert back with results.
