A week ago I had Labs done for a 3 month diabetes check up with Dr Contreras of Brooksville. That is our southern doctor and our primary care physician since we are down here for such long periods of time each year.

My A1C is down to 5.9 and my blood pressure has been under 100 for a while.  He decided to try and get me off of Janumet and switch to Metformin for blood glucose control. He stated that we can always switch back and to keep what I have of the Janumet for a while. He also cut my Metoprolol dosage in half to try and get the blood pressure levels in a healthier range. Both of these could be contributing to the LEMS fatigue factor. (Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome or Eaton-Lambert)

My thyroid gland has a golf ball sized growth on the end of it. At one time, a long time ago, it may have been cancerous but now is calcified and benign. As an oncologist in Michigan put it, "No one dies from thyroid cancer".

We talked about the Parathyroid glands, influenced by the Thyroid tumor, causing high calcium levels due to an elevated Parathyroid Hormone level. The Parathyroid glands are located behind the 'wings' of the thyroid in the neck. He said high calcium levels caused by the glands wasn't likely because he, Moffitt and UofM lab work has been looking at the calcium levels. High calcium would show up in lab work all the time.

He was kind of taken aback by my knowledge of what is happening in my body.

We now have handicap plates on all vehicles, in Florida and Michigan. (Yea!)

The news keeps getting better but I realize it can turn around in a very short period of time.

Keep praying, that's what I'm doing.
