My ex decided she needed to take iodine while pregnant with my first kid. He was born with congenital hypothyroidism as a result.
She also make me goto the witch doctors of various kinds over the years, none of which helped me.
Regular medicine determined that I have a tumor on an adrenal gland, and after a year of testing I’m having the gland removed next month.
- bigmit37 8y agoHow did you find the tumor ? Did you have any symptoms?
- mgarfias 8y agoHave had high-ish to actually high bp for some time. Meds didn’t touch it. I was in the doc looking for some chemical assistance for having to deal with my ex. Was found to be diabetic, and was referred to a clinical pharmacist. He was going over my stuff and saw the high bp, along with low potassium and suggested that it could be hyperaldoseronism. A couple of blood tests later suggested that this was the case, and the CT scan was ordered which found the tumor. That was last year, next month I’m going in to have the gland and tumor removed. Symptoms of hyper aldosteronism: * high bp * low serum K * inability to gain muscle (aldosterone is a testosterone antagonist) * lack of energy * lack of ability to concentrate * increased blood glucose Probably more but this is what I experienced
