Hi, Annie,

Yes, my heart checked out okay, and at the time, I wasn't having trouble with running out of air. I will take those test results to the pulmonologist, so he has something to compare with any new testing he does.

I take vitamin D3, because I avoid sunlight whenever possible. I have about a 10-minute sun tolerance before I burn, and I've had too many bad sunburns as a kid. Trying to avoid melanoma.

I take Armour Thyroid, because I have pituitary failure (it is useless to check TSH) and the thyroid has stopped working as a result. Same reason why I have adrenal failure. The fatigue issues have been blamed on my endocrine problems, but the Duke Endo says she thinks the hormonal issues are being adequately addressed now, and the fatigue is just as profound as it always was. That, plus the muscle weakness, is what's making me think MG.

I will ask them to check my B-12 levels on the next blood draw. They've checked them before and said they were fine, but it never hurts to check again.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Rose
