It's hard for me to remember what normal is these days. I've been saying 'I'm fine' to myself all week, but then I realized...
-I'm napping every day.
-I'm not working.
-I'm not cooking or cleaning or doing much of anything.
-I'm tired all the time with intermittent limb heaviness.
-My blood pressure still trends low despite adjustments in BP meds.
-I forget to eat or have no appetite when I do eat.
But there's not much muscle pain and I am exercising.
At the expense of everything else and not that I feel up to it, but I can force it, which is a good sign. Full on adrenal meltdown removes all ability to power through.
Things are a far cry from normal still. You'd think my inner optimist would shut up already.
The goal now is to continue to work out and increase intensity markedly as the ACTH challenge nears. I want this to show up on the test. If everything comes back normal, then fine, I'm just recovering still, but, if there's any chance this is adrenal tankage, it needs to be documented.
After the test, I can back off and slow it down a bit.
