Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 hi guys... Well I'm home again.. Yeah!!... I have to practice on a breathing device to get that back.. yuck... I feel exhausted.. but glad to be home.. When talking with the docs today, it was determined that I need to have an MRI of my Brain to look at my pituitary gland... So that is scheduled for Monday.. and a new doc too.. an endocronologist.. But they want that to be in Vanderbilt with the new Rheumy and we like that plan, even if it means waiting a bit. So that is getting set up. So all in all.. 18 lbs lighter and home, but happy to be home, with three doggie children that couldn't be happier either. Totally wiped out though. I'll be seeing my Doctor a lot to check potassium and some other things, but that's ok. The heart monitor is off and the IV is out. The only thing now is I have to go off MTX they felt I needed to go off of it for some reason and I was too tired to ask why... I'll have to ask why later. Thanks for all your support and prayers.

Hadleigh used to call it her 'Sperm'.....What are the docs saying about the cause of your breathing trouble? Your children with four legs are tremendous blessings! YEAH--- HOME AGAIN... hi guys...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah!!! Even if you don't feel " good " I'm sure it's wonderful to be home. You must feel better not being where you were. Good luck, and still get PLENTY of rest. I hope for the best for you. Hopefully the new docs will help out a lot. I know when I saw an endochronologist, he helped me tremendously, and that was about 3 years prior to the Stills dx. Hopefully he can find the cause of some of this too.
