----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: DJS Message 3 in Discussion went to the MGH-Boston on 4/16. I mentioned to Doc. my dad has the same pit tumor and she said we will need to check your calcium levels because since you have it, your dad and cousin have it it could be M.E.N. Well she called me on sunday (great doctor)and said calcium levels are within normal range(30-100) mine is@ 63. I am doing fine with everything else all my levels were within normall range. I will have to have an MRI in 6 mos to check on pit tumor havent had one in 2yrs. I am in great shape the best I've ever been. Weight is awesome. I still have to take metformin for the PCOS though. It helps my periods come each month. Doc did mention If I start to lose anymore weight they might lower dose. But I do weight.cardio training 3-4 times a week so I dont know if thats the main cause of weight loss. I am 5.9 @ 154lbs. in 2004 I was 204lbs. I eat well sometimes not so well but I work out faithfully cuz I am scared of gaining it back. I am always afraid my levels will get screwd up again or period will stop and weight starts creeping up again. so I weigh myself once a week. The only other non-hormonal thing is my GI tract. I have been coughing/choking at night, & clearing my throat all during the day. And my food/liquids get stuck down in the esophoagus I have to jump up and down to make it go down. So finally went to the docs who then did a barium swallow and they detected a stricture and are going to see what it is by doing a edoscopy. Has anyone had that procedure done or had a stricture? thanks for listening dj ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
