Update on the new Endocrinologist... I haven't seen much of a difference with the new medication she added last time. But I'm still sticking with it to see if its more of a long term helper more than immediate.
I had the blood work done last week and I should get my results when I go back in for my second appointment later this month. I can't decide exactly what I'm hoping for with the blood test results.
On one hand, I want to be completely 100% healthy and know that (for once) my body... and petuitary/hormones are functioning properly on their own. That would be amazing answered prayers for my body healing itself.... but that leaves the questions, why don't I see the weight loss results I think I should be seeing over the last several years if everything is working well?
--OR--
One/A few of the test results come back off normal and it means there is something still wrong with my body, (hormone wise, PCOS, cortisol issues still... blah blah. the list could go on...) While this might explain the weight loss trouble... it means that after all this time (its been almost 8 years since my diagnosis of Cushing's Disease) my body is still broken and unable to figure out how to fix itself.
I just don't know what exactly I'm hoping for here.... not that I really get a choice in the outcome. I'm better than where I was 8 years ago... thats for sure. I'll let you know when I get the results and what the plan is from there.
