Still at a Loss

I wrote in a few weeks ago asking if any of you mommas have had problems with chronic fatigue, hair loss and headaches. I got some great responses and with that information i went to my doctor and asked for labs such as thyroid glucose and there were a few others she ran... and as usual everything came back NORMAL. UGH i was so hoping they would find something they could fix. has anyone had this happen to them?? i know this might sound crazy but i saw something on dr phil about pre menopausal women and that it can happen at an early age... and man did that check list fit me lol. have any of you have menopause at a really early age?? thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

I would also suggest a naturopathic doctor. There are many conditions that fall below the radar of most traditional doctors. These include Hashimoto's as well as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Environmental Illness. My symptoms were different, but I was sick for years (and generally told it was all in my head) until I read a book one day and realized what was wrong with me.

You can be in the normal range, but it not be normal for you. Some doctors look at a small range right around the middle of the normal range. I can be within the normal range at the low end and feel horrible (no energy, constipation, etc). Try another doctor or an endocrinologist. Good luck!

You do not mention if you saw the GP or OB/Gyn. If you fit the symptoms of pre-menopause you should call the OB/Gyn. If your annual visit is soon then talk to her/him then. If not call and talk to the nurse. Good Luck!

Hi E.,
First of all let me tell you that I "feel" your pain. I have had similiar issues in past years, but too many to discuss here - but I wanted to give you a suggestion. I have been drinking the Monavie juice since the end of Jan (to address digestion issues & high white cells, etc with my little on who got the health benefits of it thru my b'milk - which worked wonders for him - another story for another day) BUT - the best un-intended consequence EVER is that I have more energy than I have ever had in my life - and I am totally convinced that it is the juice. I should be really tired b/c I'm up numerous times during the night nursing a baby, my 3 year old is up at 5am, and with my schedule there is no time for me to nap during the day, and I had to give up coffee in Dec b/c of my little ones tummy problems. BUT, like I said before ever since I started drinking the juice I am NEVER tired. Took about 2 weeks for it to "get into my system". SO my suggestion is go buy one or 2 bottles and see if it has the same effect for you. It is pretty pricy, but totally worth it if it can help you be a better Mommy, while your body is deficent in something. Seriously I love this stuff so much that I am now selling it to all my friends b/c they see my energy - and more improtantly what wonders it did for my Son. You can go to https://www.mymonavie.com/monavieformommies to buy some or if you are local (west Nashville) I can sell you some at the wholesale cost - since I order it in mass quantity now.
p.s- it also saved us from having to go to the "expensive pre-digested" formula for my Baby - b/c of what it did to my b'milk for his tummy issues (gotta love having a holistic GI specialist!)
Good luck
