Strong Familial history of Diabetes. recently I have been experiencing hair loss, severe muscle soreness (only during the night), morning stiffness, frequent voiding at night, 40 lbs gained in one year.

My Endocrinologist states my Thyroid is stable. I don t believe him because of my symptoms . Please advise.
