Immunologist , endo: You appear to have multiple issues which involve the endocrine as well as immune systems. You need to consult an immunologist at an university center as well as an endocrinologist. If you are in the older age group, you need to be evaluated for pernicious anemia which may be the cause for your low B12. You should be on cortisol replacement. Has food allergies limited your dietary intake?
