What Causes A Prolonged Chronic Illness?
I have been chronically I ll for several years. I finally have a team of doctors that are at least treating the symptoms. However, I want to find cause, not just treat symptoms. I am on thyroid hormones, ALL female and even low dose male hormones, and my heart and brain r not communicating either and I am on drugs to keep my Bp from bottoming out. Taking ALL of this into consideration at once, does it not sound like a brain issue, I.e. hypothalamus/pituitary gland?

Hello,
From your description looks like a pituitary pathology, but the lab results and radiology findings are necessary to say it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
