Okay, well......went to yet another doctor (what joy). He looked over my records and said I was a "train wreck" (just what every woman wants to hear at this age....lol). So, he takes about three pints of my blood to test and told me to be back in a couple of weeks. I go back and it's worse than I thought. He would not even discuss all the test results, but he did say the adrenals were completely shot. He did not use the term Addison's Disease but just said that was what President Kennedy had. Also, my thyroid is all out of whack and he said that no B12 even showed up in my blood!! I think he was trying to tell me kindly that I was dead and didn't know it. Anyway, he believes in using natural vitamins, etc. as much as possible and has started me on......I don't know how many. He said he would discuss my "other problems" when he saw how I was responding to this round of meds. He can only put me on a few at a time so he can measure what is helping and what isn't.
Anyway, that is my update and I knew it would be so exciting!! I am trying to be funny to keep from crying. No, seriously, I'm really not that upset b/c I felt that there was more wrong with my system besides the Fibromyalgia and I have wanted to find a doctor like him that would run all those "panels" in the blood work. I don't know if they can do anything about the adrenals or not. I read that once they are shot.....that's it. But, I can't help but hope. Some prayer going up would be greatly appreciated.
Take care all, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
