I have gained 50 lbs this year, menses were regular since age 14 I m 42 now, it stopped for 67 days, have pronounced buffalo hump, fatigue unlike any I ever experienced. no longer have sense of smell. Primary physician running labs but won t refer to endocrinologist yet. I told him my BCBS doesn t require referral to specialist but I d appreciate his support. he isn t willing to assist. My family believes an MRI is necessary but don t want to offend Primary.
