[quote=Anonymous][quote]She’s also been flagged repeatedly by her pediatrician for falling off the growth curve so she’s simply not eating enough calories to grow. We’ve been following up with specialists on that issue which she is also extremely angry about, and denies there’s an issue and is basically accusing us of torturing her with unnecessary tests. She sees all of this as a literal horror story of people torturing her when nothing is wrong with her.[/quote]

I did not read the full thread, but please get her a full thyroid panel including TSH, T4, free and reverse T3, TPO, and TgAb.  My daughter had very similar symptoms that were attributed to anxiety or a possible eating disorder, and it turns out her autoimmune thyroid antibody levels were off the charts.  Essentially, her immune system was attacking her thyroid and causing neuroinflammation, and she was hyperthyroid for a long time (hence weight loss and anxiety). These issues were missed for several years because the got to explanation for teen girls is mental health.[/quote]
