Screwed up labs

by NurseSteele, Apr 07, 2008 09:44PM
I have been going to new doctor, 1st he was worried about my chol, i took fish oil dropped it from 218 to 109, elevated triglcerides 118 dropped them to 43 with Red Yeast Rice, Good chol down to 33 brougt it up to 44, now my CBC shows Elevated Eos- 11.9 when 3 mths ago they were .07? Also have been having extreme headaches for no reason, Dr. Ran more tests, cortisol levels, all normal, I am hypogylcemic x 17 yrs, (since preg 1st child),i am tired all the time, even after sleeping 12 hrs i fall asleep at the drop of my rear to the couch!
I want my Doctor to do an MRI for Pituitary Adenoma, but he thinks i am insane! Other Symptoms include, Hair loss, uncontrolled weight gain ( i work out and keep my calories under 1200 a day and can't lose a lb of weight) i urinate about30 times a day, i have constipation (i watch everything i eat, no sweets, no junk, no fast food), I have been researching and found almost all symptoms of Pituitary tumor, non functioning tumor and he still thinks im nuts, i have been a nurse 17 yrs, i know my body, i don't have headaches ever, and for 2 mths nothing but headaches unresolved with tylenol or motrin, ?? any ideas???
