Suggest Treatment For Headache, Hair Loss, Weight Gain And Fatigue

I am experiencing hair loss from all over my head, headaches, extremely dry skin, insomnia, leg cramps, weight gain and fatigue. I do have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Asthma and Reynauds Syndrome. The hair loss started in October. I have other symptoms but not sure what is related to what I know I have and what is not. They did a thyroid panel on my 2 years ago because I did have an abnormal test but all the test came back ok when they ran them again. Have tried losing weight and it will not come off. I kept a food diary for one month and my average calorie intake was between 900 and 1000 calories. I walk 3 miles a day x3 days and do exercise at home for the other 4 days. Should I see the Endocrinologist again or someone else. Thank you

Hello,

Haute loss, fatigue and weight gain may be either thyroid related or maybe else.

As you already mentioned that the thyroid problem was there but it's fine now.

See, it may have become again abnormal now.

So have a check up to your physician.

And I will also suggest that you should also check up your haemoglobin, vitamin B12, etc to identify any deficiency as you are taking only 800 to 1000 calories since 1 month.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
