Tentative diagnosis

[banded_for_life 2]

Vines, I am so glad that you finally have an answer...even if it is a tentative one...I am wishing you all the best and sending lots of healing light your way!! (huuugggs)

[HarleyNana 10]

Gee, that could be an answer for lots of us. Maybe that's why my synthroid's not doing much for me. You've been through so much, yet your patience are better than I could ever imagine.

Take care!

Hugs and prayers coming your way!!! It's a double edge sword, but at least you will have answers!! Keep strong my dear.

Vines, Sorry To Hear That You Are Gong Through This. I Am Sending A Big Hug To You And You Will Be In My Prayers.

Could the high cortisol levels be connected to being raised by wolves? Just a crackpot theory. . .

DITTO!

Can't improve on what everyone else said, but let me add my concern and hugsy vibes.

This is my though also. I've had post-tramatic stress my entire life, I don't know how to live without being in a heightened state of panic. I think that envirment, combined with being on steroids as a small child and for long stretches as an adult.

[Kelliebelly 13]

Ill say pretty much what everyone else has. We are here for you and I am happy they finally have an answer....even if it is only tentative for you.

Hugs

We are waiting with Baited Breath for the "final answer". Big Hugs!! I hope they get this all figured out so that they can get to work on providing the cure...

:]

**or is that 'bated breath??

Friday I go for more tests, but don't see the doc again for 2 weeks. Lastnight was really rough. I spent most of the evening in a darkened room crying off and on.

Today, I realized that I'm exactly the same as I was before. With one small difference. I know why I'm not losing. I don't have to beat myself up anymore for not "doing this right." Because all along I've been doing this right, at least as far as my instruction set said to do it. So, I'll go about my day, living my bandster lifestyle and trying to not sweat the small stuff.

Crystal, so sorry you have to go through this. Hope everything turns out for the best. Is there anything I can do to help you? Rae

[ReneBean 3]

****HIJACK****

Bean, it's Bated Breath...I had to look it up! LOL

I wondered... 'bated - short for Abated - another way to say - we're holding our breath waiting... Love the odd word-origin things... ****END-HIJACK***

[Parvathi 2]

I only just saw this. Crystal, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this! Hopefully you do find comfort in the fact that you'll atleast be getting answers soon. Then they'll have you fixed up as good as new :cake:

Sending lots good thoughts and hugs your way. You're in my thoughts...
