Auto immune deficiency, early ovarian failure, low thyroid, and posibly sleep apnea

Although I have been known to post way to much on social media, I have decided I don't care. I have people asking me left and right if I am okay...what do the test results say...what will you do next?

I experienced post menopause at 27.  I have been taking estrogen ever since.  Over the Thanksgiving and Christmas break, and even into last summer,  I started therapy after experiencing electrocution sensations in my brain. My joints started to swell, I gained weight rapidly, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc... So my gyno upped my estrogen to the max, and 6 weeks later, no avail,  Still post menopausal. He referred me to a neurologist who referred me to an ENT for a sleep study.  In the meantime, I saw an allergist/immunologist who discovered that I was allergic to nothing...but my 23 serotypes were nearly absent, meaning my body can't make what it needs to fight infections/viruses. My IGG and IGM are extremely low, my b cells are also low. B CELLS ARE A TYPE OF OF WHITE BLOOD CELL . T cells are also a type af white blood cell. These are also low. At this point, i would expect a bone marrow sample.  But we'll see.
