Dr. Says "you are a puzzle"

My labs came back normal just like I predicted, they always do. This does not help the fact that my hair is falling out so much so that I now have a bald spot near my forhead that makes it look like I have a major receiding hairline. Not to mention the depression, nausea, menstrual irregularity, moods, bowel issues, muscle twitches, etc. I am at a lose as to where to go from here. Any ideas? I have tried going to a homeopathic doctor who has tried everything, and the medical doctors have no idea what to do other than run blood labs. I've heard about saliva tests being more accurate when blood work fails to show anything. Is it true, or worth my money? I just want my hair back :(

Saliva and urine tests will tell you if you have an adrenal problem. If you do it could account for hair loss.

Just because your test results were declared "normal" does not mean they are adequate to relieve your symptoms.  The ranges are so broad that just being anywhere within the ranges is frequently inadequate.  If you will please post your thyroid test results and reference ranges sown on the lab report, members can help interpret and advise further.
