I forgot (can you believe?) in that book I wrote that the weight gain is about 10 lbs. I have a very small frame and eat very healthy.
Also, my body hair has gotten darker and grows back faster. My eyes get sunken underneath and my cheeks get gaunt looking. When I feel well, my face is full and my eyes don't look sunken.
Thank you again!

Hi Lisa,
I'm sorry, I was thinking I addressed the hair last night. I just went back and saw I did not. The symptoms of the hair, weight gain and menstrual irregularities sound like possible polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). I meant to ask if you have been checked for this?
Not sure about the eyes and cheeks, but I would go with adrenals or hormone issues, which both affect water balance in the tissues.
