I am a 28 year old male, many symptoms and many tests. Sorry for the long post in advance, but I thought if I laid it out, somebody might be able to help me figure this out. Can you please tell me if you think I have a problem with my thyroid, pituitary or anything? I was taking some anti-anxiety and anti-depressants during these periods, but nothing worked. I feel like I'm the first male to go through menopause. Thanks! Here are my results over the years;

I have been recently being treated with Cytomel and Hydrocortisone, but I don't notice any difference at all. I really believe, if anything, that I am somewhat hyperthyroid. I am shaky most part of everyday, my body feels like I have internal shakiness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, constant diarhea, cannot tolerate the heat yet I shake like a bobblehead doll in the cold, night sweats, insomnia, can't get up in the mornings, but I'm not tired during the day, headaches, nervousness. The worst problem I have is that my right eye actually feels much smaller than my left. People actually notice this from time to time. My eyelids feel as thought they weigh a ton, but my right eye feels the heaviest. When I wake up in the morning, I'm really shaky. When I try and take a nap, I shake like I'm having a seizure, my heart beats so hard it shakes my left arm and I just feel out of it. I almost always feel slow, dumb and off balance. I have been told it seems like I have a pituitary problem, but nobody has ever offered or done a scan of my pituitary, thymus or anything. I feel like I constantly have like post nasal drip or changing of my voice, clogged ears and some serious pain behind my eyes. I usually eat like crazy and people have said there surprised I don't weigh 300 pounds, yet I can eat everything and still lose 5 pounds. I wake up everynight around 2:00 in the morning and I'm hungry. I have seen 11 doctors, optometrist, opthamologist, neurologist, ENT, sleep apnea test, CT scan of head, MRI of head...but found nothing. I have been told it could be Myasthavis Gravis (SP), post concussion syndrome, hypothyroid, pituitary problem, etc...
I woke up almost 5 years ago and complained my eyes felt funny, my left ear hurt and I was really dizzy. Things have dramatically went downhill from there. I understand I could have a little anxiety and depression, but I know I would not if I didn't feel like this. I used to be so athletic and last summer after playing a softball game, I was shaking so badly I could barely walk. I have ED, shakiness of my arms when trying to hold myself up, shakiness of my legs on and off throughout the day. When I go into a store, driving or anything, my eyes feel like they do not track together. My night vision has dramatically went downhill as well. I am almost unable to maintain eye contact, as my eyes feel so off.
