Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi N When do you get your labs back? You sure do have symptoms of PA. Your blood pressure is probably in check from your low organtic diet and it takes time for everything to go hay wire. I also have a tumor in my left. And it is also producing norepinenphrine, testosterone,DHEA, and aldosterone. Make sure your getting them all checked including cortisol. I too want mine removed but Dr. Grim says it is very important to make sure it is the side with the tumor. There are some in here that are still ill after they get the one with the tumor removed. Some tumors are harmless. Adrenal vein sampleing did not work out for me either. I am looking into special scans with glow in the dark contrasts to look for my tumor as it is a adrenlin producer as well which opens a window to narrow down one side and remove it. Hang in there. ita What do you do to keep your potassium up. Many in here who like V-8 juice low salt gives you lots of potassium in the meantime. I have found a baked potatoe work well too.
