[QUOTE=dbhost;534897]Bob,
The new doc I am seeing is running a snot load of tests considering the symptomology for hormonal imbalances / insensitivity to things like Thyroid, Testosterone, Cortisol etc... You may or may not be aware that the excess weight can throw your hormones off, causing more weight gain, throwing your hormones off, causing more weight gain... You get the picture...
Get in to see a doc, and if the one you are seeing can't / won't help you, find another one! I've been busting my hump on this that and the other diet for years, watching my energy and health slip more and more away while all the doctors have been able to tell me is "loose weight". Really? You need a PhD to tell me that? I am sick and (expletive) tired of being told what the symptoms are and addressing symptoms, without addressing the causes. The practice I am trying now came referred to me by a colleague (formerly at 425lbs and 5 foot 8, now 210lbs and going down) so I figure he's got to be on the right track...
