Excellent suggestions everyone. I do agree on getting second opinions on things such as your thyroid and getting help to overcome your phobia. The only thing that has worked for you is being active (physically), and that is something you have to pursue again.

Before you spend all this time seeing hundreds of doctors, I would focus on getting your eating and exercise habits in check. Your caloric intake is all over the place. I'm curious, do you actually manually write down the calories of everything you eat? How do you know you eat under 1000 some days and 2400 calories the next day? One of the things many studies have proved over the years is that people tend to underestimate both the portion size that they eat as well as the amount of calories they consume in a day.

I'd really like to see a few days worth of what you eat, everything from snacks, to meals, to drinks, to condiments.
