Karen, I have had many of the same problems as you and the same frustrations with Dr.'s being perplexed. I have used herbs which are the only things that have helped. I found out I have PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome) which causes weight gain and depression as well as a host of other problems.
www.drallon.com has lots of information. They provided me with a diet and exercise plan which includes supplements and it has helped. The other Dr. who helped me was
www.drstu.net. Dr. Stuart Marmorstein. Also look at
www.biocranial.com. I wish someone had told me about Biocranial treatments before I spent 12 years and a fortune on tests and doctors who took my money then told me it was all in my head or I just needed to lose weight.
I also have thyroid problems in my family. My dad has hypothyroidism. My tests don't show problems either but Dr. Marmorstein told me problems don't show up until your thyroid quits working completely. I have all the symptoms of Hashimotos Thyroiditis and have had them since I was a child.
You need to do some research on possibly having Celaic Disease and/or a weakened Adrenal System. Also accupuncture works wonders. The thing that has helped me most are the Biocranial Adjustments. It seems so simple but in 5 minutes I felt better than I had felt in 15 years. I vowed to reach out and tell other people because I truly felt it was a miracle! I never believed in them before until my first biocranial adjustment.
I hope this helps you find more helpful information. I have listed some of my findings on:
