----------------------------------------------------------- From: PT3688041 Message 1 in Discussion Well, everything seems messed up. At least my IGF-1 is normal as nothing else seems to be. T4 is too high, parathyroid (PTH) is too high, Vitamin D is too low. Puffing up, short of breath, pounding heart, fatigue, weakness. I wish that they would get things straightened out. Neuroendocrinologist got fixated on the low D and I had difficulty him getting to notice the elevated T4 which I think is the cause of the breathlessness and pounding heart. Did lots of blood work - do you every get to the point where you feel like a pin cushion? Hopefully things will get straightened out eventually though they have been working on this for 4 years. The endocrinologist refers to my problems as "some sort of MENS syndrome" as the genetic testing was negative. The one good thing is that I was granted tenure last week so my job is safe in these hard economic times. I was diganosed with acromegaly 2 weeks after accepting my current position 4 years ago. My part-time job is in danger because of my on going weakness. ----------------------------------------------------------- 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?
