Sorry I took a while answering, but I was out *walking* around the block!!!
That's been ruled out - I saw a rheumatologist who sent me to a gastroenterologist - they took (seemingly) gallons of my blood and tested for *all* those things and more. They all came back negative. I'm going to make an appointment with an endometriologist and give them more gallons of my blood. I have no idea what an endometriologist does is, or what type of testing they normally do, or what are they testing for? I know it sounds crazy to go to a doctor when you don't know what you're going *for*. But my BFF, a nurse, told me to get me to the endometriologist, so that's what I'm going to do. At this point I have nothing to lose so I may as well keep trying until after 12/31/10 when I'll either have insurance, with a $3,000 deductible, or have to pay through the nose just to see my doctors and fill my prescriptions. So thank you much for the info - it's so nice to know that you care. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "Storrmmee" wrote in message ... my mom had many of your symptoms, she had already been dx'd with RA but it took three months, and 45 pounds and most of her hair for someone to think to do the blod tes for shogrum/shrogruns syndrome, can't spell it but, its in the RA lupus family but instead of inflaming joints like in ra it does that to your internal organs, and if not stopped it will simpley killy you with your own antibodies, she is on meds now, and it has slowed but it will never get better, Lee "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

Also, the edema I get in just the left foot, not the right could either have something to do with the dehydration or be the reason I can't be dehydrated.

I have another appointment with my nutritionist and my PCP early next month and I was going to bring that up. I don't know how they treat anorexia, but that treatment may help me. Personally, though, I think it's the RSD, which scares me because all these new symptoms are signs of being in Stage Four ("End Stage"). All of these symptoms, combined, have no other explanation. Also, the edema I get in just the left foot, not the right could either have something to do with the dehydration or be the reason I can't be dehydrated. I don't know - it just seems the more I know about this the more questions I have about it. All I can do is just take things a day at a time. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "Storrmmee" wrote in message ... i was just wondering if part of this not absorbing is from being dehydrated, so if you could get something with eltrolights, sp it might help, and also i am going to suggest something here and i want you to take it like i mean it... even though we all know you are NOT annerexic, sp, what you describe are a lot of the symptoms of that condition, so i am wondering if you could go and read up on it and see if there are any medical treatments that might assist you, again, we all know this is NOT your condition but the results, dry mouth, weight loss/hair loss, gagging starving to hurling, are symptoms, so if there is a treatment, supplement, shake or pill or even an IV that helps these people it stands to reason it would help your symptoms, Lee "Yowie" wrote in message ...

"Normal" blood pressure for me is 90/60 and they'll often have a hard time reading that (or don't believe their eyes since they'll invariably take it two or three times before writing it down. So salt is not a factor and there is no evidence of harm from saturated fat. They think now is that it was because of the RSD and pushing myself too hard that brought about the heart attack. More damaging to my heart/health is weighing on 89.5 pounds (as of this morning). Not that I think eating healthy is *bad*, only that it doesn't matter to the doctor or nutritionist *what* I eat as long as I get a lot more protein into my body. Best I can suggest is those 'protein shakes' that body builder types use to muscle up, or even going down to the health food shop and buying those amino acid supplement thingies (probably about as good as a 'protein shake', actually) Did a bit of a search and came across this site.
