The results of my blood tests came back. Here's the good news:
-Growth Hormone is back to normal!!
-Muscle test is back to normal!
-Thyroid level is still low but better
Now for the not so good news:
-Cortisol is still non-existent
-ACTH is still low
-Prolactin is high (more than double of normal)
The high prolactin was the most concerning to my doctor and doesn't make sense. So, he suggested we move up the MRI and have that done now instead of in June/July. He wants to get a look at the pituitary gland and especially the stalk to see if it has been affected. I agreed and have the MRI scheduled for next Tuesday, March 3rd.
Now for some more good news, I've been running! AND, I have a new running buddy! She is actually my doctor's medical assistant. Kind of a weird connection but it was definitely meant to be. We were both very into running before and are both trying to come back again. She is the sweetest ever and offered to train and run the marathon with me in June. 💗 (Love you Meagan!)
What is Meagan’s last name? Or, if you don’t want to put it out for all to see, is she about 70ish yrs. old?
