[[The pituitary affects so many other glands so your hormone levels are probably all out of whack.]]

Well again, I’ve had them all checked and rechecked (had to after the operation for a couple of years) and they all got back to normal- all levels are fine now- like I said- Docs just shrug when I ask why I’m so exhausted and painful muscles- and dump their diagnosis onto something obscure like Chronic Fatigue-

I personally believe that there is a problem with the way my body turns food into energy- because I just don’t get enough energy to keep me going, and what little I have I can burn through very quickly and get really run down with very little exertion- just walking say 1 mile or thereabouts is enough to weaken me further for a couple of days-

I was kinda hoping it was something simple like thyroid which could be corrected with meds, but all tests show normal

Interesting about your food/energy statement.

Have you considered that your gi tract may be lacking enough digestive enzymes and probiotics? As people age they produce less digestive enzymes so food isn’t broken down as much and you get less energy. Also if you’ve had antibiotics your gut bacteria is probably out of whack unless you’ve done a good job replenishing it with probiotic good bacteria.

You might also be a good candidate for cold laser therapy for your muscle pain/body pain.
