TO: ShannieK, 'adrenal antibodies'

[Jimlow]

Hi Shannon, I haven't seen you on here for a couple of days and hope you are doing okay. Have you gotten your results back yet? I get my blood drawn on the 16th so don't expect results until 18th or so.
I haven't seen Christine on here either, I hope she is okay. I hope and pray I never cause anyone to not come back on. I am an intense person and have been that way my whole life. That is why I hang back once in a while, to give a rest.
Shannon & Christine, I miss your valueable imput!

Hi there, I am here.  I feel ok, not great, but were trying to get that fixed huh?  I"m glad that you wrote, I am going to be leaving here in alittle bit to go and visit my mom in another state, will be gone for about 4 days.  I will be back the 15th, and I go and see my endo on the 16th, that is when she will review my tests with me i'm sure.  Hopefully at that time I can start some sort of treatment.  She has already said, that my tests have confirmed primary adrenal insufficiency, we are just looking for the cause now.  I have a feeling, being a sufferer with Hashi's that the anitbodies, are probably the reason.  But I am looking foward to starting something and hopefully feeling better soon.  Good luck to you as well, I'm anxious to hear your test results.  I'll be back on here Monday sometime, bye for now.

Hi Shannon, I'm also waiting to hear about your test results (and Jimlow's too). May I ask how did your Dr diagnosed primary adrenal gland insufficiency w/o the AB test? my understanding is that prumary refers to failure of the glands due to attack of the AB or what's called Addison's disease.

I'll keep you in my prayers and hope that they find what's wrong with you so you can start getting better. They still don't know what's wrong me....everything keeps coming back normal and although I do feel a bit better I continue to have problems w/blood pressure and increased heart rate.
