Check for thyroid dz: That's an interesting history. The first part sounds like a viral infection. It may have affected your thyroid gland. Menstrual irregularities are common in thyroid disease. The weight gain suggests and underactive thyroid. I would begin with confirm you are not pregnant and testing your thyroid stimulating hormone level (TSH).
