but now I am suffering a few pituitary malfunctions. Cortisol level is a bit low and now it looks like “diabetes insipidus” could be happening. Symptoms are extreme thirst followed by frequent urination. Which means the kidneys are working too hard. Dehydration. No matter how much water I drink, I still can’t quench the thirst.

So I get to go in for yet more blood tests. Good news is, I believe it can all be treated pharmaceutically, and hopefully just on a temporary basis. The heavy doses of dostinex have been stopped completely since the surgery. It’s been great being pill free these last couple of weeks. Nothing but a minor headache now and then. I haven’t had so much as an advil for going on a week. WOO HOO!
