Note to Self

Endocrinologist appt on 8/19

Concerns/issues to discuss:

1. Screening for DVT; ask for a d-dimer test. Check! Done! Rx for test written!
2. Do I exhibit signs for Lipedema? (Mother has lymphedema; prior to that exhibited signs of lipedema--currently handicapped and housebound due to complications from both) Negative so far!
3. How different is DIC vs Factor Five Leiden Mutation? (I tested + for FVLM; brother, however had DIC, and exhibits signs of lipedema). Quit worrying, you can only have one or the other!
4. Saliva adrenal profiles (re: DHEA, cortisol)? 24 Hour urine collect is much more effective for diagnostics.
5. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? Negative.
6. Is it meritable to do a follow up ultrasound of the thyroid? Yes. Scheduled for 9/23.
7. Should I consider pro-actively going for lymphatic drainage massage? No.
8. Follow up trans-vag sono scheduled for 8/27.
