Hello friend, sorry to read you are going through discomfort with treatment. If you physician is not cooperating with you, nor listening to you, I suggest seeking a physician that can help you restore your health. Most physicians are set in thier way's.
Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but 60lbs weight gain can contribute to fatigue. How do I know? I lost 70-80lbs since last year. My fatigue improved tremendously as I dropped the weight, I wasn't out running marathons, but felt more productive then before the weight.
Only now I'm dealing with hormonal balance fatigue after TT,. I went on a low carb diet, eliminate all sugar from my diet, for over 6 months I didn't consume any sugar, no diet drinks, no sweetners, I avoid anything that taste sweet. I stayed on a meat/veggie diet, drinking water, 10-15 minute treadmill workout, sometimes 30, whenever possible, worked like a charm.
Hormonal disorder can cause weight gain, but I'm convinced now sugar is the main reason society is over weight. Try low carb diet, eliminate sugar, 10-15 minute daily workouts, if your interested to see if this will help you. Wishing you well on your journey.
