 Glad you're getting all checked out. Better safe than sorry. Usually we are telling people to push their doctors to find things out - yours is working it on his own! Great!!

So sorry to hear of your issues.  SInce you are under such stress your adrenals might be wiped out. High cortisol levels can cause all kinds of symptoms.

I am glad you have a great doctor who will keep on top of things until things are sorted out. Best wishes.

 Wow Joyce!  You are doing really well to handle all the stress.  Good for you to take it one day at a time.  I am wishing you all the best that everything will be over soon.

I am so sorry that you have so many things to deal with right now. At least your weight loss will make the tests and MRI machine a little easier. Don't let the worry set you off your eating plan. Hopefully your lump will turn out to be nothing.

 As for the cyst on your liver, you might want to google NASH. They've confirmed a cyst on my liver that hadn't existed there previously and just tested me to specifically to rule out hepatitis, meanwhile I'm being sent for another ultrasound of my liver. NASH is second stage non alcoholic fatty liver disease.

I'm not a doctor and you shouldn't pay much attention to any diagnosis coming from me that is more sophisticated than a recommendation for rest and a bowl of chicken noodle soup (but not necessarily in that order).

Hahahaha thanks

I will google that. I am patiently(well not so LOL) waiting for the tests to be scheduled.

Take care and I will take your advice about the rest and chicken soup LOL



Joyce----Today is the first day of the rest of your life
