What Causes Fatigue And Excessive Weight Gain?
I m 64 y/o and I am tired all of the time. I have gained weight and despite exercise and diet I can t seem to get the weight off. My latest thyroid studies were ok. I had a thyroid US which showed multinodular thyroid. My family Doc said she is tempted to put me on thyroid medication despite the normal studies.
