Good news, weird news, bad news: Good news! I got my test results back from the test I had done last week, and my adrenals are functioning well so I should be able to come off the long term steroids with minimal trouble! Weird news! My adrenals seem to be functioning better than they were last time I had this test done??? I've been on long term corticosteroids for like a year and a half the doc warned me they'd be at least a little atrophied they shouldn't be functioning better Bad news! In looking up my old blood tests from my previous health care network to compare this specific test, I also found out my severe anemia was showing up on blood tests two full years before it was caught! It was not caught until I switched doctors!! My MPV being low is what triggered my latest endocrinologist to do an iron panel and my MPV had been low since the very first time I got bloodwork done in Tennessee. My ferritin levels got down to 3. That's not a typo that's a single digit I was almost entirely out of ferritin and they could have caught it two full years earlier Also weird news: it's not out of the realm of possibility that the reason my adrenals showed a better result is because I was stressed out by the wasp trying to crawl down my shirt the day before. Like. Probably not, but can't entirely rule it out lol
