I'm going to endocrinology. Jan 4, 2016 20:07:09 GMT -5

Post by mrs.jacinthe on Jan 4, 2016 20:07:09 GMT -5

This is just a little update on my weight/health saga, for anyone who cares.

Despite being on 5000iu of Vitamin D daily since September, my levels are still too low. The RD noted additionally that my cortisol and DHEA are both high. Although my weight has stabilized, nothing I have done has brought it down for any significant amount. I'm done messing around with my PCP (but sticking with the RD because I love her and she has been a great help.)

I'm making the call and self-referring to endocrinology. I'm tired of hauling this weight around. I'm tired of waiting for results that don't come. I'm tired of guesswork. I'm just going to pay for a specialty visit and the probably hundreds of dollars worth of associated labs and call it even.
