Summer is the worst time of year and best time of year. All the pleasures of summer with the worst parts of having adrenal insufficiency. I am reasonably confident that I have secondary adrenal insufficiency due to a pituitary cyst that has magically disappeared according to my doctor. I don't think that is the case at all and have been struggling immensely with dehydration, migraines and fatigue for the last few weeks. Spinal problems are causing flares of low cortisol and fatigue which makes normal life just that bit harder. Despite my husband reminding me to drink I feel no thirst and feel sick when I try to drink anyway. It's thoroughly unpleasant.
I think Starmer leaving is a good thing because he never struck me as a confident man who had the ability to appear calm on the surface. Will it help the FVSD community? Unlikely.
I've been investigating my blood sugar levels and have discovered I'm having regular episodes of low blood sugar levels at night so I'm hoping to take this information to my endocrinologist. I strongly suspect some kind of hormonal imbalance that all FVSDrs have but just doesn't have a name yet. I have noticed that sometimes PCOS is a feature along with fatigue and hypoglycaemia. There's something going on and if I had the money I would fund a research project to get us all tested and see what happens. Pituitary gland problems are common because it forms during the first trimester.
off to go stick my head in the freezer until September
