By Wed., I'm hoping the INR is up so I can stop the shots. I decided I needed to stop being a weenie about it, and learn to give them to myself. When my friend comes tonight, I'll get her to show me how she does it, and then in the morning, I'll have her watch me while I do it. She's going out of town later tomorrow morning and will be gone all day Sunday, so I needed to do it myself, or find someone else. I can do it, I just have to get over myself. ;o)
These shots are not hard...I give ‘em all the time in the hospital. They have an itty bitty very fine needle and you should do just fine!
I wisht I was there to hep ya!
Doc A thought it was a pheo but the urine tests kept coming back negative so she started saying it was anxiety. So I switched to Doc B who immediately thought it sounded like a pheo and said he was going to order the kidney scan and also the brain scan to find out why my vision was screwed up. But then he decided to dump me on the the Endocrinologist, the very idiotic Doc C who informed me that he thinks it is a pheo, but the urine tests I originally took weren’t valid, because I was on a BP med that blocks what they’re looking for. A LOT of that particular med.
Let’s put it this way...I recently started a man of about 350 lbs on the same med in the hospital. He takes 25mg a day, I have taken up to 200mg a day. I’m currently on 150mg or was before I started to wean off for the urine test. I am also still on two other BP meds but they don’t impact the test, apparently.
This morning I took 25mg and that will be it for the day. I anticipate the next few days are going to be most rocky.
As soon as I spike a high BP, I start the urine test.
He wouldn’t order the kidney scan until after this test and didn’t address the brain scan at all.
