Don't know what to do from here ...need help

April 10, 2011

Hey Group,

I am at a loss for what to do. I just had a 30 minute appt with Dr. M, and

I spent the entire time arguing with him. I first discussed aldosterone and

florinef and even though my labs say that I should consider a trail dose of

it, he refuses to treat it. I had to basically beg him to even test for

it. Then, I asked him why my face is very puffy, my skin is thin and

horrible and why I am getting a buffalo hump (that was confirmed by my PT)

on the back of my neck. I said that it all sounds like I am on too much

medrol and he said that is impossible. I then asked what it culd be from and

he replied, " I don't know " and changed the subject. I then asked him about

getting on some NTH because of T4 and the brain and even referenced his post

from a while back regarding this and the said that was old news and the he

doesn't believe that anymore (Barb and Phil, you may want to take note of

this). He said that getting on T3 is just fine and that we shouldn't

reference things from him on the net because things change and he changes

his opinion based on those changes. So, I basically said that we weren't

doing things the right way, which we aren't because something is preventing

me from getting better, and he became very offended at this remark.

So, I just don't know what to do at this point. I can't take the aromasin

anymore because it screws with me. I took some today along with a test cyp

shot and about a two hours later, felt like I was going to die. I took a nap

and I was awoken by a strange fatigue that made me feel like the very

essence was being sucked out of me. And, it is still giving me heart palps,

just not as bad. So, I may just throw in the towel. I would rather just

feel like shit than continue down this roller coaster ride. My physiology

is so screwed up that I don't think it is reparable. I mean, I feel like I

am doing more harm than good to my body and my physical apperance manifests

this...I look like complete hell...I look worse know than before I started

this whole thing.

I don'tk now,. If any of you have been through this, I would greatly

appreciate some advice. I was thinking that my only other option is to wean

off of everything and start over.

I don't know..this blows and I'm getting tired of it.

Any help or advice is greatly apprecaited.

Thanks,

MIke
