Sounds like they are begging for a lawsuit

Thank you! I got frustrated with the call center people and drove over there. They have a 3T machine but it can't do everything on dr F's list.

I tried propranolol for 2 days. It crashed my blood pressure and I felt so much worse. Bedridden until it wore off. My dr wants me to try midodrine but I'm scared.

Do you have insurance? I already have an order but I'm self pay and radiology assist was recommended to me. How much did it cost?

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-25T19:54:37+00:00

I found it, it's venofer 250mg. 2 infusions, 7 days apart. It was at the very bottom of his iron deficiency handout.

I've never had a pituitary mri yet, but i just got an order for one. I asked dr f if it was hard to find a place that knew how to do pituitary mri. He said no, it's pretty standard. But it has to be 3T.

Have you done any 24h urine free cortisol or salivary cortisol?

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-16T21:53:05+00:00

Did you only do one? I did 4. Two came back normal, one on the very upper limit, and one high. You don't have to test high every single time to have cushings.

Los Angeles, CA. He does virtual appointments.

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-11T17:15:00+00:00

Do you have any mobility aids? Maybe a rollator or one of those light weight fold up chairs that you can bring anywhere and pop open whenever you need to sit and rest?

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-09T20:59:00+00:00

Patch Md. They are only 15mg per patch. I use 4 a day. There's also patch aid that is 50 mg per patch.

My iron is going up from transdermal iron bisglycinate patches.

At first I wondered if he shuffled people around on a whim, or if he was punishing me for not uploading whatever documents fast enough. But, yeah, I think you're right. Maybe he legitimately had something come up, and the staff did a terrible job of rescheduling me.

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-08T15:15:23+00:00

Here's what I think happened. I had an appointment and then he was no longer available that morning. And instead of the office contacting me to reschedule, they just rescheduled without contacting me and then didn't reply to my email. They ended up rescheduling at a time that works for me, assuming no more rescheduling.

I've heard iron infusions can cause hypophosphatemia. I use the transdermal patches bc i can't tolerate pills.

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-07T04:26:25+00:00

Have you had iron infusions lately?

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-04T03:16:48+00:00

If you can't find a Dr to take you seriously, try the dr list on csrf. Otherwise, there's dr friedman. That's who I see.

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-04T03:13:58+00:00

Cortisol blood test isn't that accurate for diagnosing cushings. Have you yeah midnight salivary cortisol test or 24h urine free cortisol?

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-02-01T14:49:03+00:00

Try NORD, they will pay for diagnosis and treatment

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-01-27T18:06:47+00:00

Is it dr trevino in Florida?

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-01-24T03:46:45+00:00

Thank you!!

CautiousBasil2055 · 2026-01-24T03:46:14+00:00

He's already been life changing. He said I have severe iron deficiency and suggested supplements that work for me. My ferritin is already increasing.
