I have hypothyroidism, not hyper! My nephrologist conducted a scan of my adrenal glands, which was negative - then he ordered a unique adrenal gland-specific scan (MGBI??). I was injected with radioactive dye (Day 1) and scanned over the next two days. It was a 3-day process. Results from that indicate "activity" in my adrenal glands. My doc wants me to go to Mayo for an adrenal artery scan to determine whether to remove my left adrenal gland. He sent my case to Mayo for their opinion. I'll keep you posted.

I am sorry, but I love to hear of folk that have the same problems as me. I just don’t feel so alone! I have had problems for many years, but I am at the wonderful age of 81.. One Dr told my Dr that he was glad he wasn’t my Dr because I have too many problems. That upset me because I thought when I was being treated I was fine. Now a problem without a cure or help would frighten me, but I feel good most of the time, and there are good people helping me.
I have had two brain ops for pituitary adenoma. Triple by pass. And now secondary adrenal insufficiency.
And the odd stent here and there... Not too bad. This wonderful life has been grand really!

Now I have rapid heart beat, taking Tykosin for this.
I have to say I am now on Prednisone and this has caused weight gain, being a woman I was happy with my weight, now I have gained 25 Ibs. But I thank my Lord many times during the day for this life he has given me... I know it could be much worse
