More results... still no answers!

This morning I had my followup appointment with Dr. Shaw for all the bloodwork they drew weeks prior.

:::::drum roll please:::::

We got several answers, but no diagnosis, yet...

Estrogen, Estrone, and Estradiol are all normal.
Vitamin D... BAD low... She put me on a high concentrated prescription of Ergocalciferol...aka: expensive rx of vit. d!
Thyroid... normal
Cortisol... levels were high.
Testosterone.... strangely high. (I jokingly asked my dr if I was turning into a man and she chuckled and said no but she was concerned as to why this level was so high... still thinks pituitary tumor)
Insulin... normal, thank God!
Pregnancy test... negative... well duh! :)
So that was the latest workup she did on me. Thankfully she gave me a copy of all my lab results. I'm going to be doing some googling later this evening. Because right now alot of it is gibberish even though she went over everything in detail. (maybe thats why she charges out the ass for a consultation..?)

She prescribed me 1(one) pill... Dexamethasone to take before I go for my next round of bloodwork. For the love of pete, I'm tired of them stealing my blood. I'm not a lab rat for crying out loud!!

Oh but wait... it gets better... I have to do the 24 hour urine collection again... not once... but TWICE!!! Two 24 hour spans in a row!! Oh geez!!!!!!

And lastly, I have to schedule a pelvic ultrasound and my MRI of my brain here in the next week or two. Since she still suspect pituitary issues or possible tumor, she wants a full scan done. She is also suspecting PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) on top of what ever underlying issue is going on with me, medically.

I'm hoping with this FOURTH set of bloodwork, ultrasound, and MRI will give us a diagnosis as to what's going on with me so we have a possible treatment.

Thank you EVERYONE for thinking of us, praying for us, and your words of encouragement. We love you all!!!!

X's & O's!! ♥
