Diane, Thank you for your comments. I can't tell you how much it means to feel heard and to have a resource that might help me out of this.
We've checked my Thyroid levels were checked a week ago, they are solid (I take synthroid). Although I am 47 I still have regular normal periods and no perimenopausel symptoms. I got pregnant last year but I had a miscarriage. I am not on any drugs that would make me gain weighed. In fact I take Topamax for Fybromyalgia and I should be losing weight on it.
No Diabetes for me or any one in my family. Not on any birth control pills. Hormone levels all check out to be fine.
Ultra sound of gallbladder, liver and abdomen are clear. Internal vaginal ultra sound was clear no fibroids, cysts or endomitriosis.
I had a Dr visit today. A perfect day for it. I weigh myself every day first thing in the AM every AM. I keep a weight and food journal. I weighed in this morning at 165.5lbs. This afternoon I weighed in at 170lbs. My caloric intake in less than 1200cal per day. Luckily, he is getting the picture. He noted to me that I gained 14 pounds since I had seen him 10 days ago.
He wants me to go back to the gastroenterologist (sp) because they did find severe reflux in my throat when they did an Upper GI last week - weird I've never had any acid reflux symptoms except a hoarse voice. No constipation or other GI symptoms. He also wants to check out my adrenal glands to see that they are working properly.
So that is where it stands today. I'm actually thinking about asking my sister if can have some of her maternity clothes!
