What Causes Weight Gain, Excessive Sweating And Chronic Fatigue?

Hi I am 30 years old, female, had my first child three years ago. in the past 8 months have gained 40 lbs, began sweating profusely, have extreme fatigue but a Lot of trouble falling and staying asleep, but once I do, I just cannot make myself get up and have a lot of trouble waking up.. Now, I am getting boils on my lower legs between ankle and knee. ( about 4 boils in the last 4 months) My grandmother did have MRSA before dying two years ago, I spent a lot of time with her. She also had diabetes and thyroid issues which both run, in both sides, of my family. Do you think any of these things could be affecting me this suddenly? Or am I completely off ? I can t get into my new dr. Until the end of September, but the stress of these symptoms is driving me a bit nuts.. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Weight gain, fatigue could occur because of excessive stress also.I advice you to get thyroid profile and complete hemogram done, as weight gain, weakness, sweating are all symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Thank you
