i am 29 year female suferring from joint pain, weekness in the body, sinusitis,very low in energy. I am 5.5. and have 80 kg weight which i put on during last 3 years. All my blood test and thyroid test are normal. i always have painful periods and recently been diagonosed with PCOD. my gyne says that joint pain and low energy is not because of PCOD. i am fed up of visiting the docs and still could not get the proper treatment. some times doc says its all in my mind. My DHEA levls are also very high they are just double to the normal.my stomach is also very sensitive. Some times i feel helpless n not able to get out of bed.kindly tell me or suggest me that what exactly is this?
