I wish, I wish...Aldosterone...
Hey all,
I've been rattling around the medical establishment somewhat over the last weeks, which is why I've been in absentia from the forum.
To cut a long story short, I've been experiencing all kinds of crazy symptoms, particularly these new seizure-type attacks.
Anyway, in the course of things, my aldosterone levels were checked and found to be "normal", even though I have the classic fluctuating pupils.
Does anyone know why my aldosterone levels would be normal, yet I have serious dehydration and messed up pupillary reflex?
Sadly, because I've been so panicked recently about different symptoms (even calling the emergency services), whereby nothing is ultimately found, nobody actually believes me about anything anymore (classic boy who cried wolf case). My AF rages on, trashing my body collagen, including my vascular system.
It seems that because of my unacknolwedged condition, I'm now without any sympathy and totally lost in a world that seems inhospitable and almost hostile now.
I still love life and desire to remain positive, but it's upsetting when people are dismissing my condition as a solely psychiatric disorder, not actually realising how that's further impacting my adrenal state. I feel too weak now to even have the resources to orchestrate some kind of daily life...
It's ironic that my so-called endocrinologist told me to go and enjoy a game of football or go out drinking with friends...
Can anyone relate?
To be liberated in life...would be nice...
Sees you,
BBQ
