Growth disorder undiagnosed?

I am 21 and am 5 feet tall, I don't look like an adult, and only weigh 83 pounds. I can't seem to gain weight to make the Dr.s happy. I have been to an endocrinologist because of hot flashes and insomnia, and given Provera. It was determined I have no estrogen coming from my pituitary gland anymore, and I was an EARLY bloomer. I don't have Turner Syndrome, because I have a child. I stopped growing at age 12. Does anyone know of any disorder that may be possible, because I researched and couldn't find anything that fit. PLEASE HELP !!

Hi There

This explains it well.

Anxiety

Symptoms
Anxiety is an emotion that may feature excessive worry, sleep disturbances, shakiness, ritualistic behavior, fear of being alone or in public places, impatience, easy distraction, and great apprehension concerning the welfare of loved ones. Associated physical symptoms include racing pulse, heart palpitations, shortness or rapidity of breath, sweating, dry mouth, numbness and tingling of the hands and feet or cold/clammy hands, lightheadedness or dizziness, fatigue, trembling, indigestion, and diarrhea.

Cause
Anxiety disorders occur in people of all ages, but appear to be more common among women. The occurrence of an anxiety or panic attack is often unpredictable, but it may be associated with certain situations such as driving a car. The exact cause is complex, involving constitutional factors, emotional stress, biochemical imbalances, and environmental triggers. In women, hormone imbalances can cause anxiety. Therefore, hormone assessment is essential. Amino and fatty acid imbalances can also play an important role in triggering anxiety attacks.

Natural Cures

Diet: Assess your diet to reduce excessive consumption of stressor foods such as refined sugars, honey, maple syrup, or cow`s milk products. Consume vegetable soups, broths, and a wide variety of green and yellow vegetables. Add more complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, beans, seeds, and nuts.

Flower Essences: Flower essences can prove very helpful in managing and helping to eliminate anxiety. Use Aspen for apprehension, foreboding, and fear of unknown origin while Mimulus is for fear of known things, shyness, and timidity. Red chestnut is used for excessive anxiety and over caring for others. Rescue Remedy庐 (combination formula) is for general stress from anxiety, and Rock Rose is helpful for coping with terror and panic from known fear.

Herbs: Panax ginseng has a tonic effect on the adrenal glands, improving blood flow to the brain and reducing the stress associated with mental/emotional issues. Valerian root, an herbal tranquilizer and muscle relaxant, is another good agent for calming the nervous system. It helps balance mood swings and is not habit forming. Valerian-hops combination formulas are good daytime sedatives because they don`t interfere with reflex actions. Passionflower is another mild sedative that helps reduce anxiety, high blood pressure, nervous tension, and muscle tension, and encourages deep, restful sleep. St. John's wort, a highly popular remedy for depression, has proven effective for anxiety and mood swings as well.

Homeopathy: Aconite, Actaea rac., Drosera, Calc carb., and Sulfur are all useful homeopathic remedies for dealing with anxiety.

Hypnotherapy: Self-hypnosis helps to impart to the mind imagery designed to bring about deep levels of relaxation.

Meditation: Develops the mind`s ability to stop anxiety at its source.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following supplements have all been shown to help reduce feelings of anxiety by calming the nervous system: calcium, magnesium, vitamin B complex, 5-HTP, pantothenic acid, and adrenal and kidney glandulars. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an amino acid, can also affect mood by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter serotonin (a mood regulator).

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of anxiety: Acupressure, Biofeedback Training, Bodywork (especially Massage Therapy), Environmental Medicine, Guided Imagery, Hypnotherapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine (for a self-care approach, we recommend the book The Mood Cure by Julia Ross), Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Yoga

Best of health to you

Cheers

I'm sorry I don't know much about Turner Syndrome, but I did know a girl growing up who was dignosed with it and she had a child when she was 17. The doctors were all confused but still came to the conclusion that since she had he daughter at such a young age she was able to have a baby and have Turner's. I don't know if this helps or just confuses you more. Good Luck.

dont stress over it!!!!!!! you sound perfectly normal to me, if you have a normal diet and such i think your ok, we are all built different, although the estrogen thing is a bit puzzling to me, are you ovaries producing estrogen??

have they checked your thyroid?

Its odd that you have no estrogen coming from the pituitary gland anymore. It sounds like you are suffering from menopause! at your age that is not normal as you know.

I recently watched a documentary on women like yourself they were suffering from menopausal symptoms at a very early age. What they found is these women had obstructions pressing on there ovaries. growths that were pressing on the ovaries or choking them in a sense. Also you could have an abnormally small pituitary gland after all you stopped growing at 12.

Do research on a small pituitary gland you'll find people are having symptoms that are similar. Do you often feel very tired, moody and sluggish? these are signs
