Ultrasounds
My ultrasounds from Monday came back looking good, so we are very pleased to hear that. I will go this Friday to have several labs run, including a re-do for the adrenal glands. Apparently, the Rx I'm on to raise my blood pressure is also used to treat low glucocorticoid levels caused by disease of the adrenal glands (in other words, the VMA test results are worthless, as they would show my levels as being normal even if they aren't, since I was on that med). I've been off of that med since last Friday to get it out of my system for the test on Friday and I can tell a difference in the way I feel (extra fatigue, etc). I don't have anything planned for tomorrow, so I am looking forward to sleeping in, followed by resting on the couch, with perhaps a nice nap thrown in for good measure! I will go back to the internist next Friday, the 20th, for the test results and to see where we go from here. I'd like to just say thank you to my dear sweet friends who have been checking on me lately. I've really needed that the last few weeks, and I appreciate all of those phone calls, movies, plans for DeBrands, invites to your homes, etc so much. Some days, just having those things to look forward to are what keep me sane!
