If anyone is curious about what is going on with my health stuff...
I went to the doctor on Friday and he said that my back pain is part of my migraine aura. He also told me that based on my high cortisol and low sodium the endocrinologist wouldn't see me but that if I did this other blood test and it comes back abnormal he will. I think it was insulin growth factor. So he took that and said it could take a week to hear back. He is willing to work with me and do tests. The endocrinologist doesn't want to see me unless we basically know what is wrong because he has such a large case load.
Anyway, my doc thinks something is wrong with my endocrine system and took down a list of symptoms and is going to do some research. He had me do a 24 hour urine catch to see if there are any chemicals in my urine that would indicate a certain kind of pituitary tumor and he is checking some other things too. The thing that is throwing him off is that I was able to get pregnant with DD.
He also put me on a very low dose antidepressant to take daily to prevent the migraines because my fiorcet wasn't working anymore and I am allergic to the imitrex. I took it and basically felt like I had the flu with hot flashes and chills, body aches and nausea which is what happens when I take Sulfa antibiotics and imitrex is a sulfa based med. He said that most people only have reactions to the antibiotics and not any other sulfa meds but I fall into that small percent that can't tolerate any.
Anyway, it isn't much of an update and I am going back to the doc next Friday. I will let you guys know if we find anything out.
That got long so if you made it all the way through Thanks

That sounds like a nightmare! I am so sorry you have to deal with this. Hopefully, it will be figured out soon and the doctors can get you on the road to recovery!

Thanks for updating us and please keep us updated.
Are you doing any better on the migraine front? I think you said they lowered the dose of anti seizure meds?
