I need advice on what kind of tests we need to do, if so. Does she need supplements, treatment? The doctors did only T4. Should we do other tests? Please, teach us. She gained a lot of weight despite to intense sports, extremely fast, become fatigue, bloated all the time, swollen body. I need advise on diagnostics, diet, may be medication. HELP
