Hi friends, hope you're having an amazing week. Just wanted to let you know that I'm feeling more like myself and to thank you for all the love. If you've missed it, you can catch up by viewing the "Health Update" highlight on my profile. ♥️
.
A few weeks ago my bloodwork showed that it's possible my Cushing's meds (which reduces cortisol production) caused me to have Addison's disease where you don't produce enough cortisol. But the numbers could also reflect that I potentially have pancreatitis (I had some inflammation) and/or kidney failure. Unfortunately it's hard to be definitive since they all share some of the same symptoms that I experienced: nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, lethargy, and weight loss.
.
Since that appointment, I've had IV fluids to flush my kidneys a few days a week, am on a new Cushing's rx dosage, taking an anti-nausea pill daily, and have been eating a low-fat rx diet. I got retested last week and my numbers are closer to where they should be. I've also gained some weight back, yay! 🙌
.
I'll continue with the treatment for now. I have another cushing's retest in two weeks to see make sure the dosage is right for me and I'm seeing an internist/specialist to make sure we're on the right track.
.
Once again, thank you all for your sweet comments and DMs. I really appreciate you. Keep those positive vibes coming and let's hope I continue to normalize. 💕
Sushi + me 4ever 🍣🥰 What's your favorite food ever?
