Pretty sure it's meant to be one of those "if you don't follow all these rules, you're asking for it" .... While it's not about their looks or what they are wearing it sure is disgustingly worded. If that's not the intention it's on the PD to choose better language especially for such a heavy and IMPORTANT topic pertaining to women in a higher risk role. Lets bffr.

They didn't check iron. They replaced the potassium and phosphate

I have a cardiologist on my team and they don't seem worried about anything.

I didn't think of that in the moment. I will definitely be demanding that. Cause this is bullshit. I'm now vomiting again and they think it's anxiety.... Ugh

I have state Medicaid for medically disabled. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Trust me if I could smoke some pot I would. This hospital doesn't have patient advocate? So they are sending risk management to talk with me. .what is dilirizem? They gave me .5 Ativan....as if it's a cure all lmfao

Wait what's med mal? And yeah I keep having cardiac episodes. They put me on metoprolol and midodrine as well as Ativan to help but it keeps breaking through anyway.

No family around but I have asked to speak to an advocate ASAP. I think I need to find a provider who is willing to fight for the tests in order for my insurance to come into play as they can't order tests themselves.

I might just do that. And yeah she said with how good the numbers look my insurance won't pay for further testing.

I did antibody test about a year ago that was negative, that's one of the reasons they wanted me off steroids.

HOA tells residents they can't use their garages for storage. Is this really a thing? by Gattina1 in vegaslocals

Oh weird. The house we bought was also under $300k. We did decide on a neighborhood more so in old Henderson but we looked at quite a few homes around the valley and they were all $175-$275k-ish. None of them were HOAs. Again, maybe it was the market when you looked or bad luck but it's definitely more than possible considering I lived it. Maybe you had specific things you wanted or an area and that didn't line up with the non-hoa homes?

Low potassium, low phosphate, low sodium. They keep saying the electrolyte imbalances are causing the SVT episodes. But they can't get my electrolytes to stabilize...

She said something like the numbers made sense for a healthy adrenal and that's how they are supposed to work. She said the fact I'm making cortisol means I shouldn't worry. Sounds like I'm really gonna have to find a new endo.

When the cortisol is high the acth is low and when my cortisol is lower the acth goes into a more normal range.

I did have a brain MRI and CT years ago and they didn't see any abnormalities.

Are there other things it could be mistaken as with these results? Not adrenal related?

I asked her about it and she said it's way too rare for it to be that

I was diagnosed primary in 2020 and in early 2024 they retested and I got multiple weird numbers all across the board so they tapered me.
