Doctors and more tests! This is a never ending circle. I am waiting to hear back from my Hematologist. He did find that my levels for Factor VIII are low which means I would have Hemaphilla A, another blood disorder. I had another test done on Thursday to see how much lower it dropped to determine my treatment. He said it would probably be an IV therapy treatment...I do not know details yet. I decided I will ask my 100 questions when I find out if I need to have it.
While I was waiting on that I found out that my cortisol levels on my blood test from my Primary Care Physician came back high at a 31.9 when the normal range is 2.3-19.4. I am currently in the process of getting referred to an Endocrinologist that will decide what needs to be done for this. Again, I have not a clue what all this means except that I need to be seen to see what is causing such high levels. I will hopefully hear back by the end of the week to when my appointment is with that doctor.
This whole process has not been fun and I have been not feeling that well still. My energy level has dropped and I have been very tired and need all the sleep I can get. I have not made it to my morning workouts even though I really need them. I have not lost anymore weight but, right now sleep is more important with being a stay at home mom. I will keep everyone posted on my next steps for everything but for right now my weigh ins are coming to a stop! I am still not sure about the race on September 3. I have not signed up yet because right now I am not sure my body can take the stress right now.
It has been so rough having all these tests and appointments. Especially having Lucas with me and Andrew not being able to take off work all the time. He has been so accomidating and it has helped out tremendously...I don't know what I would do without him!
Keep me in your prayers...I am having a tough time! Looking forward to our October trip...I need my family and friends time! Miss you all!
Love you, Em! <3
