Hi Mandy,
And I suppose "stress" has caused the facial & leg muscle wasting too? Geez!!!!!!
What sort of HRT are they talking about?

MOrning Lee, Nice to hear from you cant believe it .. The endo called me yesturday and said they have had thier discussions and they think its stress or fluctuations in weight?? Ive ben there twice, when i first went i was eating on and off the diet but as i got more positive thinking i was gonna get better ive stuck to the diet more where i can function. I am 8 stone and 5ft 2 so iam not anerxic and she said not eating normally will be a stress to my body and could affect me!!! THis has gone on for 3 years i was eating normally at the begining but nurses were coming out doing enemas as was impacted with feaces..i still cant eat sugar etc i get really sore mouth, ulcers, distended belly, constipation, thrush, feel sick..etc She said she hasnt looked at the scan results yet so Iam going to my doctor this morning to find out about the hrt. She said they will put me on it for a while until my bodies not stressed???!!! Or birth control pill but when i was there a few weeks back she said even a bcp wopuldnt get my levels up to what they should be.. She has booked me another appointment but said i didnt need to go!! I spoke to pituitary nurse last night and she said to ask Barts if it was a pituitary scan and also ask baldeweg if she can test my cortisol as its lowish and said i should have my adrenals tested!! So Iam going to ask my doctors about being refered to barts endocrine as i cant see them doing it an uclh.. Feeling really lost again..I am gonna call barts secertary aswell.. I ll post when i have more information about the hrt..thi scant be right can it .. thanks hun xx

HI ya.. Couldnt see my doctor!! Gota go and see her Thursday about it all. I spoke to consultant secretary at barts, my results are back my brain scan was okay but my spine scan said it has changes??!! She said that she is going to talk to the ocnsultant about my hormones and them putting me on hrt, also my low estrogen etc.. I asked if it was a pituitary brain scan she said no, i explained taht they wanted to see the brain scan at uclh to look at my pit gland, she said it wasnt a pituitary brain scan so it wont be of any help anyway!! She said my doctors were supposed to do a load of tests and they havent, for lymes and lupus. She said the doctor thought there may be some phsycological element but theres a problem. She said he wont just leave me like it once he has seen the results (h is on holiday) she is going to ask him to call me next week to explain and discuss whats happening.. I spoke to endocrine nurse pit forum and she said i need pit mri and sythachen test she said my cortisol is low and they havent checked my adrenals.. I just cant believe they can just say we will just put you on hrt..with no cause other than weight fluctations and stress!!! Id lost half a stone between appointment (was about two months) but thats due to having to do candida diet and other people dont go on hrt for lossing half a stone... Dont know what to think about it all to be honest.. thanks for helping me
