Hi, @robjohn - that is funny about the advantages of having decreased sense of smell while getting sprayed by a skunk! That is a definite benefit.

That is great you are involved with so much exercise and other physical activity with maintaining your older vehicles and farm equipment.

It does sound like you have some question marks about your diagnosis. As @hopeful33250 said, it is really important you feel comfortable with your diagnosis. Sounds like you have also gotten other opinions that differ, if I understand correctly?

Hi Lisa, I am trying to decide if I should pursue the adrenal nodule as the cause of my tremor and a few other things that better match adrenal problems such as right now I am hyper. Sleep is out of the question, also have blood pressure spikes and afib. I found out today that the heart clinic has known I have the nodule since 2002 and never told me. Blood pressure and afib are some of the things that can be caused by adrenal. Do you think at 79 years it is worth pursuing or should I just accept my fate as folks here seem to think?? Would Mayos even accept me as a patient?
