It could be hormonal. It could be the IR. It could be an autoimmune issue. What kind of tests have you gotten and what kind of treatments are you doing? What kind of diet (not a losing weight diet, but a lifestyle diet) are you following? Do you get plently of rest? Drink plenty of water? Have you discussed this issue with your health care provider?
Thanks for the welcome

I had every blood test under the sun done before my surgery, and most of my levels were normal, aside from very high testosterone and high cholesterol. No sign of thyroid problems or diabetes as of 3 months ago.

I sleep 7 or 8 hours a night most nights, so sleep really isnt an issue at this point. I follow a low calorie vegetarian diet right now, but from what I am reading I may need to go low carb. I drink TONS of water, always have. I am taking a daily multivitamin right now, and that is it. I take the occassional xanax when I have an anxiety attack, but that is just once or twice a month, max. I am on no other meds at this time. Dr. wanted to give it a few months after surgery before prescribing any meds.

I have not gone to the Dr. for this issue specfically, but I do have an appt. with my PCP next week.
