too many symptoms suddenly

I've been diagnosed with Graves disease,hyperthyroidism,hyperparathyroidsm- diabetic peripheral neuropathy, restless leg syndrome,(these last two are neurological) knee injury(required replacement/didn't happen) then I am told pernicious anemia,(low B-12) / NOW I'm told my ferretin level only 16 (another type of anemia) in spite of all,it's possible celiac was overlooked and just easier to say I wasn't complying. As to taking medicine.
I see the Endocrinologist Monday,shouldn't he have an idea?
The VA still refuses a second opinion IN SPITE OF CONGRESS PASSING LAW,MY CONGRESSMAN TOLD ME THEY HAD TO CHOOSE HOW TO BEST SPEND MONEY SINCE WE MUST BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.

Your frustration is perfectly understandable.  Did you get any answers from the Endocrinologist?

I'm sorry I sounded whiny,that is not appropriate for me to behave as such.yes,I am beginning to think the symptoms all do have a single root cause. Frustration tends to suggest multiple symptoms that parallel one another may actually be related .looking at the root cause is just how I formulate hypothetical answers-when I don't have one.
Once again,sorry I whined,my humaness tends to leak occasionally.It won't happen again.

You seem to have a lot of issues going on with a lot of separate diagnoses.  I'm not exactly sure of your question, but it sounds like you think that there may be one single disease/illness that is causing all of these other problems to occur around the same time?  It's hard to say which, if any of your diagnoses are related to each other or if it's just coincidence that you have more than one issue.  A second opinion is always good in my book, and I'm sorry to hear the VA won't provide that for you.   I hope the endocrinologist can help shed some light on your problems.
