This is screaming Thyroid dysfunction to me..either hypothyroidism or Hasimoto's . Also look at the Pts age..female..in her 40s....fairly common for thyroid hormone levels to drop. There is not one symptom that is the clincher though.

Cold intolerance seems to push it towards hypothyroidism. Was it on the test?
