Making Progress ... Finally!
After all this time I think we might be getting somewhere with all my medical problems. I have been getting worse and VERY frustrated. Over the past couple months I have swollen up with excess water. Plus in the past couple years I have put on weight even though I have been eating healthy. Add to that the whole "not digesting protein" problem and I've been a mess!
After tests and more tests and even more tests, the doctors have found a couple problems.
First of all, is the gland in my head that regulates the amount of salt that my body retains isn't working right. The gland is telling my body to hold onto excess salt and therefore I have all this bloating. I've been on the drug to fix this for a couple days and early results are promising.
Second of all it turns out my Thyroid Gland is basically not working. The doctor called me this morning and said my Thyroid levels were VERY VERY low. Reed picked up the Thyroid drugs today, along with additional Percocet -- because all these problems are causing me a great deal of pain.
Overall, it looks like we’re making progress!
