I Am A 33 Yr Old Female With A History

I am a 33 yr old female with a history of Iron Deficient Anemia, irregular menstrual cycle, and miscarriage. Recently, I have had an episode were I bled for three months, had ovarian cysts, uterine cysts removed, and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. A couple months after my surgery (noninvasive) I was diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary emboli and 100% blocked DVT after my arm turned black. I cannot absorb iron supplements-they make me more miserable than the anemia and with little to no affect. I am absolutely desperate to just feel right! My doctor seems to be satisfied with just treating my symptoms, but I would like to know the cause of all this crud. I know most of it can be contributed to the Hypothyroidism, but it is the DVTs that are out of left field to me. I have had tons of blood work done with no real diagnosis except Iron Deficient Anemia. Is there any advise on where to go from here?
