Have had recent blood work.  Waiting to start 24 hour urine test.  Most be off my Adviar for one week.  Test are being completed to check for Adrenal Depleation possible Cushings.  Was sick with sever upper respitory infections off and on since October 2006 thru December 2006 on a deminissing dose of steroids for seven days.  Have had steroid shots in both knees also during this time period.  Had and A1C prior to these problems of 7.2 after the doses of steroids it is now 8.6.  The other results are as follows.  CBC - WBC 2.5L, Hbg 12.8, RBC 4.32, MCV 86.1, MCHC 34.4, MCH 29.6, RDW 13.1, Pits 371H MPV 9.4.  Type of Diff - AUTO, Neut% 40, Lymph% 39, Mono% 18H, Baso% 1, Eos% 2, Neut, Abs 1.0L, Lymph, Abs 1.0L, Mono, Abs 0.4, Baso, Abs 0.0, Eos, Abs 0.0.  Liver/GI - Alt 19, Alk Phos 51, AST 16.  Cardiac/Lipi - Chol 150, LDL 81, HDL 50, Chol/HDLK 3.0, TG 97.  TSH 2.31, Thyroglob Ab 25, Anti TPO 10.  Had open heart surgery in 11/2002, have had four more surgeries on my sternial incesion for infection every year after the initial open heart surgery.  Last sternial infection was and surgery was 5/2005.  Am I within reason to feel that my Thyroid, possible depleted Adrenials and possible Cushing's could be the reasons for all my health problems.  If their are test that we are missing and I could have to find this out, what are they?  Thank you
