2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side... Started conversation Nov 16, 2016
I'm getting boared of this... of everythign really
got up... felt fine. took levo felt a bit rubbish, took pred, felt dredful. had eggs with the pred.
Went back to bed... cdouln't sleep, too much pain, so got up.
did laundry today, all folded nd soem stuff hanging p to dry.
oedema painful. muscles painful, joints painful, legs/bones painful, finger joints painful, knees painful. Neraly fell over a couple times, legs just kinda gave way a bit
Quite dizzy too
drank a lot of tea. had a ham sandwich for lunch, two eggs boiled, on toast for breakfast. think we might do Kielbasa with pierogi for dinner
Ordered more poisen... I mean medication online, started the last strip of the levo so figured I should order more; Still assuming 'll get the letter at some point from endo Dr at hospital, telling me to increase levo dose, but not heard back yet, so no results or anything
Might go see GP tomorrow. mention again I've got oedema and no one is doing anything about it. I know the endo Dr at hospital did stuff to 'rule out' things, I.E., the ECG and the kidney/urine test (plus maybe some stuff in the blood work), but, as oedema is a side effect of steroids, and as it started when I started steroids, one would think that might be investigated as a possible cause; I'm guessing my sodium and potassium blance is well out of norm, as the pred makes one hold on to sodium too much, and tends to leech potassium (as well as calcium) out of the body; don't really want to start supplimenting with potassium though, unless there is actual blood work sayign that is happening, as it is vaguely possible to work the reverse way round; sodium could have dropped low.... From memory (which isn't too great), High sodium causeds water retention 'in the body', and low potassium can help cause movement of water out from 'the body' into the tissues, but I think also low sodium can kinda do that too... which is kinda weird - I had low sodium at the start of last year, it made me have a brain hemoridge (or the hemoridge made me have low sodium) ; at the time they glues the low sodium onto a diagnosis of Addison's disease 9(i.e., primary addison's, or primary adrenal insufficiency); yeh, low sodium is associated with that, as one generally is missing aldosterole err, aldosterone hormone, as well* as cortisol... that made sense until they changed my diagnosis to secondary adrenal insufficiency, I.E., as part of the panhypopit, as with secondary AI, one ends up with high, not* low sodium, so... no idea really; I assume no one has gone back and seen the total mess of that initial diagnosis and that it just makes no logical sense. Medacine as pratised by the NHS doesn't seem to do well on logicl stuff.
May try phone endocinr nurses again, but it might be better if W does that, I just tend to get very annoyed with them, when they talk to me like I'm a retard and lie to me... and my getting annoyed with them probably doesn't help much.
starting to wake up a little bit now. just noticed my typing has increased in speed and I'm thinking quicker; starting to drift ouf out of the steroid induced mental fog I guess. I hate steroids.
