I’m not sure that all of these things are connected–maybe there’s more than one problem responsible for your symptoms. Have you been checked for Cushing’s syndrome? It’s a problem of the adrenal glands that is sometimes misdiagnosed as PCOS. Endometriosis would also explain the lack of peroids and the pelvic pain. Some of your symptoms also sound like they could be diabetes, and the hypothyroidism may be playing a part too–it can cause symptoms that also lead it to be misdiagnosed as PCOS.

Are you getting enough B vitamins? A lot of your symptoms match those of vitamin B deficiencies. I’ve included a link below so you can see if it sounds like your symptoms. Sometimes vegetarians and vegans don’t get enough B vitamins because many of them are found in animal products. You may want to try a vegan B vitamin supplement or add things like nutritional yeast to your diet.
