What Causes Chronic Fatigue And High Blood Glucose Level Long After Having ITP?

Hello, At 13 I was diagnosed with ITP it was treated with steroids and I recovered. At 18 I relapsed, was non responsive to steroids and other treatments which resulted in a splenectomy and 4 chemo treatments with no platelet problems since. My weight has risen progressively over the last 9 years and now held steady at 266lbs. Dealing with chronic fatigue, high glucose (116) after fasting and high lymphocytes (3.6), I have recently (within the last two weeks) started working out trying to get my weight back down. I have also has irregular menstrual cycles with skipping months and not pregnant or ovulating. Any ideas?
