Apologies in advance if this isn't very coherent, my brain isn't functioning at it's best right now. I would really appreciate some advice on how to proceed. I'm in a tough crash atm. I'm not 100% sure why.
I want to be more proactive with my health but the trouble is, I don't know where to start. I'm hoping that discussing here might help with narrowing focus and priority.
My gut feeling is that some of my issues are adrenal and Candida/overgrowth related. Adrenal - because of the sweating and feeling briefly better after eating. I don't have much caffeine but tea or coffee can also give me a brief lift. Just enough to make it bearable being out of bed.
I'm currently taking 60mg Armour thyroid, I'm not 'officially' Hypothyroid but it's the only thing that's helped me a little. I've thought about trying the body ecology diet.
I think rather than just doing random tests at home, I need to find a doctor to work with. I'm in the UK. Someone with knowledge of M.E would be best but I was wondering whether a Functional Medicine doctor would be useful for getting tests done and help with interpreting them? Are there any good resources for finding a reliable doctor?
Aside from M.E symptoms, some of my more unusual ones are:

Aside from M.E symptoms, some of my more unusual ones are:
- Eyes - Frequent redness and cuts in corner of eyes
- Eyes - Sore, feels like someone blowing cold air on them, makes it difficult to keep them open (only started with this crash)
- Sweating with the slightest physical/mental exertion (under arm mainly)
- Slight improvement of fatigue after eating (usually, but not always)
- Burning skin - knees and ears mainly
