Hello Rhoda,
Thank you for touching base, it is good to hear from you! I am sorry to hear of your hospitalization and your continued problems. I hope that you become stable again so that you can make it Mayo.
How are you feeling right now? What are your most troublesome symptoms?
Teresa

@hopeful33250. Hi Teresa. Thanks for your post and your support. Much appreciated! Worst symptoms now are pain, nausea and weakness, all adrenal and post hospital ICU symptoms. Also mental foggiest and some feeling of being hyper vigilant. I’m always afraid when the next episode will happen and there are no warning signs. I think that’s why they left the pic line in. It insures easy IV access if I get sick again. I’m hoping to stabilize enough to get back to Mayo for treatment plans that can prevent the episodes. They are so dangerous and between them I’m fighting to get strength back only to get hit by another. I wish for a more normal life. I have amazing supports, especially my husband, friends and the in home and hospital treaters but I so want to get back to work. I’m a psychologist and have my own patients. They are covered by colleagues but I want to go back and can’t just yet. Thank you for asking and I wish you only the best. Rhoda
