RE: was admitted to hospital last week for 4 days and need anyones advice.

March 16, 2008

Hi,

I was in the hospital last week for four days. Went to ER and finally

a doc had somewhat of a clue and regonized when I was sitting and

standing my BP was very different. I went in because I was SO

fatigued, way more than my usual which is pretty heavey.

Anyways, I was admitted and get pick up medical records tomm. in teh

afternoon. From whatI know so far is that I had a CT or MRi scan of

teh brain with out die and then die took about hour and it came back

ok. I also was given blood test and hour later given cortisol (I

thinnk that is what it was in the IV) hour later another blood test

to ehck diff. Prior to those two tests at early morning given a serum

cortisol check.

Jan. I had salvia test not on meds and just started.So the doc put me

on 10mg. of Cortef 2x a day and 60 mg of Armour. My thyroid was low

across the board meaning all the tests you al say to have checked I

know were done.

My sallvia test showed my TSH high and low for the frees. I am well

aware the sympoms in alot of cases are more of a gauge than the

tests. Frees are better to look at . My antibodies are good.

Well, Val told me to better way for me to break up Cortef. I felt

like you know what yesertday. Also Val adviced to take half the

Armour. I was charting this as I think the Armour has is causing me

to feel when getting up from sitting/laying down as I did when I went

in to the ER. Not just for a couple minutes more like 20 plus. I do

not get up fast either.

Does anyone have any suggestions. I also had a heart monitor on the

four days in hosp. for them to make sure my heart was not part the

issue as I had an abaltion for the heart years ago and all turned at

well but they had to check.

I also have trouble being backed up and yesterday after the Armour I

was going.

Sorry if this is long but I wanted ot give the whole background so

anyone can give me some feedback off these recent events.

Val has been AWESOME I privately emailed her but I know weekends are

her busiest at work and I will try and call her if the call button is

on . In the mean time the Aldosterone has not been checked so I know

that is a biggy .

Thanks for the support and advice.

Peace and Healing,

a
