False Negative?

I don't know which hypo or hyper, but I really think I have one. I am 19 shorter than my mother, the only child to not reach at least her height. I am the only one to stuggle with my weight which has always been on the heavy side i am always cold and when I was getting tested for a thyroid problem to be the root of my depression finally diagnosed at 17. The blood tests showed I was only lacking in vitamin d which had shown up in a lot of people because of the storms allowing no sunlight. Now I am battling stetch marks though i have never been pregnant on my chest., my abdomen, rear, and from my thighs almost to my ankles. I have tried everything to loose weight including slim fast diets where i ate only shakes for breakfast and lunch no sweets or anything, excersize and I have never lost a pound. I only gain.
I also have had a strange for lack of a better word rash since I was young on my upper arms that is now spreading down slowly. The hair is short and sparing, in fact it looks bald. Red all the time with bumps and pink spots that resemble the bumps. I had these before puberty because I had asked but never got an answer for what they were. I am the only in my family to have these problems at this age. I have used cortizone 10 with no change. I am tired of fighting to nothing, please tell me what am I fighting against?

Could these be a symptom of something really bad or could the thyroid test negative?

I never saw the lab work, they called my mother and told her what it was. All they said was everything is fine, I just had low vitamin d

I'd be curious to know your HGH levels with lab work.

Do you have a complete lab sheet to see what was all tested? post the labs and reference ranges if you can
