Hey There, Sorry for not writing you in a while. Got so caught up with all this crap with seeing this new endo who is coordinating all my tests.At first I liked him..then I hated him,and now I think he is definitely on the right track as he sure is getting referrals and I have never had so many different tests done.

Now,I didn't know that PCOS can stem from the adrenals. But he says I have high levels circulating through my blood stream and I don't know how he came to the conclusion.He does these mathematical things with all blood work and I don't quite understand what he is doing.He looks at blood pressure differently...he looks at the pulse pressure being more important than the blood pressure alone.From my research..the pulse pressure is more accurate than blood pressure when it comes to risks for stroke.I didn't believe it till I read more.

I'm in pyhysio therapy and I have been seeing a chiropractor as well for adjustments on my hips and back when they act up.The combo seems to fit well.

As for the chinese meds...I've been thinking of seeing this chinese doctor who is an MD and does accupuncture and can analyse dis-ease by features of the tonuge,eyes etc.The tongue being the main organ showing where there is defficiency and where problems originate.This new endo is the only doctor that ever has examined my tongue and said it would not hurt for my own well being to try and see what he says.He actually gave me this doctors name and told me to call till he can figure on how to treat my problems other than IR.

All I know is that they do clotting factors on me and mine are all fine now. My pro time..PT and PTT are good. I read up on hemotologists and they also look at the liver and spleen...I always say I feel something from that one area under my heart down to my legs.. I'd forgotten what herbs you were on and I will check through archives or give you a write. Be well and let me know how things go with your hemotologist.I have to wait to get my referral by mail.I don't know how long of a wait it will be for a consult. I am getting very impatient and anxious with all of this.It seems all I do is get calls to come in for a test on this or on that or repeat a test. Very stressful,but better than before where I was just sitting here thinking I had a disease that was untreatable.
