Have you looked at thyroiditis as a potential issue (or low cortisol -
adrenal fatigue)? Hormones can be within range (I disagree with the
ranges to some extent) with over/under activity of the thyroid coming

weirdnesses using Synthroid (t4) only thyroid drugs and a few people
with reactions to fillers.
