Appointment Update

Mike went to the endocrinologist today. He is undergoing tests for endocrine levels again. The doctor is also upping his medication to see if his energy level increases and fatigue decreases. Mike has also had some other issues which may be endocrine related. The testing and increased medication should show whether or not they are endocrine affiliated and whether or not another medication is necessary - can we say walking pharmacy?? ;) Mike is also undergoing another MRI of the pituitary tumor as his headaches could be a manifestation of growth of the tumor or bleeding of the tumor which can increase pressure and lead to headaches. The headache pressure has been right behind the eyes which is where the pituitary sits in the brain. If the headaches are a result of the tumor (which most doctors do NOT think) the course of action is unknown. You'll remember that up to this point doctors have said Mike has 2 issues: endocrine issues - adrenal insufficiency - and a headache disorder which is causing the seizures. All tests and results should be back within 3 weeks.
