Just had a phone consultation with the endocrinologist. My morning cortisol is sky high!

966 (250 - 500)

He tried to dismiss it by saying medications can do that, (I don't take any, just my T3 (hormone) tablets.)

I told him I was worried, and that all my symptoms were ruining my life, he eventually caved in and prescribed a dexamethasone supression test.
At last they're doing something! It's only been 5 years, but what the hell?!
Whatever the result I don't hold out much hope.

Also, they are still refusing to prescribe T3. They are quite willing to monitor me on it tho'! Which comes round to my next dilemma.
I am running out of my T3 meds.

And before any trolls tell me to get a job to pay for it, I would love to be able to work, I worked for 23 years, (sometimes 2 jobs).

On a bad day:

Go to bed, can't fall asleep.

Thrash about for hours, fall asleep 4am.

Wake up to go to the loo several times.

Wake up tired.

My hands & legs are shaking.

Sweating.

I'm irritable & moody.

I can't stand up, even the shortest periods of time. (My muscles are weak.)

Blurred vision.

I'm out of breath.

Fast heart rate.

I have allergic reactions to random food & drink.

TMI: constipation/diarrhoea.

My physical appearance:

Hair loss.

Hair where you shouldn't have it.

Unexplained bruises.

Fluid retention all over my body.

Weight I can't lose.

I don't look like me anymore.

Somehow I don't think an employer would put up with this, never mind me.

If you haven't dozed off after reading this thread, I need help to raise funds for my meds. If you can only retweet that's OK too. Thank you.❤
