I'm not your buddy, Guy...


Well the good news came today as I met the Endocrinologist. I am diabetes free! The testing wasn't fruitless however. I have hyperuriceimia...with gout so they've put me on allopurinol. The bad thing is that my Liver enzymes require another specialist for Liver disease. At least I have an answer for this creepy briny feeling my skin gets along with some horrible arthritis which is the Gout.


I drove through Grosse Pointe to reach the doctors office in Detroit which was the wrong way for sure. I ended up barely on time but the appointment was very smooth. She is under the impression that not only could I have Hashimoto's Disease but that I have Insulin resistance. She also thinks from my blood results that due to other factors and my hormone levels that I have PCOS just like my older sister. This would explain so much. I've had two rupture scenarios in my teens and then a confirmed cyst that was 8cm at its largest in my early twenties.

The Gout not only explains my sore and swollen joints but also the surgeons remark regarding my kidneys that are probably suffering from the extra uric acid. Guess I'm baking in my own juices. I have to do some fancy Thyroid tests and a follow up for insulin but other than that the ball seems to be back on my Nuerologists side of the court. His appointment is on the 16 and I hope I can squeeze the sleep study in post holiday. My dreams have been racked with nightmares again. Bad enough I have to wake for fear of a damn heart attack. I wish holidays weren't do stressful. It's not helping my health at all having so many guests in the apartment.
