[QUOTE="Star*, post: 283016, member: 4964"] At the risk of sounding like I'm cyber diagnosing myself - which I hope doesn't come off that way - When (I think) EW posted she had Addisons - I didn't know what it was. I looked it up and all the stuff that she has - I have nearly the opposite. So just being funny I typed in Not Addisons and it came back Non-Addisons. ie: Adrenal Fatigue. I took a little on line test provided and checked with web md. Out of the 20 questions I truly have 20 of the symptoms 19 - in the high range. I had my cortisol levels checked a few years back when I had the stroke and gained all this weight - and the doctor tested me 3 times. Three times because he said my cortisol levels were off the charts high and asked if I was dealing with a lot of stress. I said yes. The symptoms pointed to brain tumor - had that MRI (awful) thing done and found out that yes Mother I do have a brain - but luckily no tumor. After that the doctor sent me to an endocrinologist who told me I was fat, lazy and not doing diets proper. So I did E diets AND weight watchers. I gained 22 lbs. I did diet with the Healthy living board here - but the weight I lost was only water weight and while I thought I was doing so good - it was due to the Lasix I was given because my R foot only and ankle were swollen so bad and have been for a year or more - that I couldn't get my shoe on. I got compression hose (aren't THOSE lovely with capris?) and elevated my foot then went on more water pills, had an ultrasound done for fibroids which came back negative and I'm still sloshy, tired and just tired all the time.
