Health update again
Finally got back all blood work, urine, saliva, ultrasound, and CT tests.
I have borderline Cushing's. Doc said it isn't bad enough to be on meds, that I need to make some lifestyle changes like more exercise, lose weight, and get more rest and relaxation.
I'm still waiting to see a urologist in about a month. Meanwhile I am taking uristat as needed to help with my Interstitial Cystitis.
My gynecologist thinks my symptoms are being caused by a return of endometriosis. I had surgery and hormone therapy for that 10 years ago. He says endometriosis can worsen ic flare ups and cause hormonal issues. He also told me to start taking vitamin d. I've been taking it almost 3 weeks now and I feel better energy wise and less depressed. My gynecologist plans to start me on hormone therapy for the endometriosis as soon as my insurance approves it, in about a month I would say. I can't wait. If it helps with this pain and no sleep then it's worth being in menopause for 6 months.
I'm excited to lose weight again. I asked for workout gear and gym clothes and socks for my birthday/Christmas.

Good luck!! You wouldn't believe how many problems you have that are caused by weight!! Yes we gotta lose weight, I'll be on your team! I need to lose too, I eat, get depressed for eating, eat again, get depressed again....it's vicious cycle. The lost weight once and my high blood pressure was no more, and also I got off the cholesterol pills. I was much more fit and felt better. Way to go, girl, good luck!
Thanks. Yes losing weight is hard when you have a desk job. I also hate sports and only go outside when it's cold but not too cold. I can't stand heat and bug bites.
When I can't walk due to weather, I can do indoor stuff. The vitamin d is helping my energy levels. I used to weigh over 60 lbs less than now and that was because I ate really clean and often, I kickboxed, did yoga, and lifted weights, no gym required. I just need to find that mindset again and make some me time, to hell with what mom and dumbass want for dinner or if they say my jumping around is annoying them. I mean I literally couldn't have two more discouraging people to live with.
But I'm still trying. I told them both I want to make a change and need their support.
That sounds like good news from your test results.
