@rckj Hello please accept my apologies for the delayed response. @colleenyoung
@rosemarya thank you for the tags!
I have tried my very best to catch up on all the thoughts and concerns.
As you have already highlighted any and all Adrenal issues are complex and essential to survival. They are the mother board that controls our response to all situations. Most importantly our fight or flight response. Just like all hormones they rise and fall throughtout a 24 hour period. I have no doubt you will find great comfort in Mayo Clinic. Is this your first trip to Mayo and the endocrine department?
I am followed by Dr. Schwartz and he is amazing!
I do not have Addison but my Adrenal produces to much aldosterone.
Prayers for safe travel and presence of calmness.
Dawn

@dawn_giacabazi hi Dawn! Thank you for your response. This is my second visit to Mayo, the last being in August, 2017. I am followed by Dr. Chang but she is currently on maternity leave so I’m not exactly sure who I am seeing. I have heard good things about Dr. Schwartz. I really like your description of adrenal disease! Much more concise and clearer than mine! My last visit was to set up a clear treatment plan and was very helpful. This visit is aimed at stopping repeated infections which cause sepsis, adrenal shock and ICU treatment. I am hopeful but anxious. Thank you for your wishes for safe travel and calmness. Very much appreciated and so comforting. Hope to stay in touch. All my best wishes, Rhoda.
