HAHA! :-)<BR/><BR/>@ Amy<BR/>Having a pit tumor is a possibility, but it would have had to develop since February '08 when I had an MRI with/without contrast done. I might try to have another one done, but we will see what this new doc thinks.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what you mean by "with all the stuff you take, its really hard to diagnosis you chemically". Right now I'm not taking anything other than DDAVP (for DI) and some iron to get my ferritin up higher. It was 38 last time I checked, which is sup-optimal. Sometimes I throw in a B vitamin, but since the itching attacks (back in Oct) I stopped a lot of the supplements. When my tingling comes back, I get B12 injections (which is getting bad again). I might paint my skin with some iodine, but again, not very often. <BR/><BR/>I did a round of chelation a few weeks ago, but haven't done another since. I can tell my adrenals suffered too much and I was unable to recover even though I felt completely normal on round.<BR/><BR/>I am going to a new doc on Monday. Dr. L. I haven't talked much about him because he was recommended to me by PM. He has helped lots of others on the Hormone Support forum and realthyroidhelp forum. My husband is seeing him too for his underweight issues.<BR/><BR/>Our marriage will make it through. When I have a bad day, our marriage has a bad day. Imagine that! lol Once I feel better, things will be better. We've made it through literally not being able to feed ourselves, so while I vent and get upset at times, it will all be OK. :-)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515068888663868718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540394361537635721.post-9881789166814571062009-03-27T11:37:00.000-04:002009-03-27T11:37:00.000-04:00Hi Dana :-)I'm trying to contact you but have lost...Hi Dana :-)<BR/>I'm trying to contact you but have lost your phone#, last name and my email keeps getting bounced.<BR/>Could you please call me or email me?<BR/>Thanks :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540394361537635721.post-20716010328966464982009-03-26T22:38:00.000-04:002009-03-26T22:38:00.000-04:00Dana, I check in every so often. I feel for every...Dana, I check in every so often. I feel for everything you are going through. Ive got about 15 years on you and having lived with chronic auto immune conditions for 20 years I I have been through a lot of conventional and complementary medicine. I have also diagnosised myself with things I was sure I was right on and later saw why although the pieces fit- it wasnt it. Your labs might be indicative of a pitutary tumor, perhaps marginal cushings, but the thing is, with all the stuff you take, it's really hard to diagnosis you chemically. The things you take will alter your labs in ways doctors dont even understand. My advice to you is this- find a couple of good doctors to work with you but go find a counseler too to help you deal with the stress of your physical issues. Your mental state will make things worse- trust me on that- and with your marriage in danger, you need to be proactive and get yourself the full mental and physical help you need. I recognize a lot of your thought processes and you could really benefit from someone with a little experience and perspective to help you through this. Good Luck!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287648836617306321noreply@blogger.com
