Thanks for your reply Annie : )

Besides the weakness being totally out of hand, I had no awareness that my breathing was bad since it was being helped by mestinon at that time. Last year, when I went into crisis, it was very obvious and breathing issues were at the forefront. That is why we did not feel the need for 911.

I am on pred daily but only 7.5mg and there was no profuse sweating. I looked up adrenal crisis and it does not sound like what was going on. I did urinate 15x the day of the admit and my potassium was slightly low at 3.4 (3.5 is low end of normal) when it had been 4.5 at the end of May. Could that mean anything? They ignored it after checking it two more days and when it came up a tenth of a point, they stopped drawing blood.

I was never in the heat or overdoing it but if you recall the incident from mid-June when I overdid it in the heat and had that long walk? I don't think I ever fully recovered from that time. My stamina never came back and I believe now that I may have been in a slow downhill slide.

I am able to walk around a bit now without the walker but the farther I go, the more I have balance checks and need the walker. Physical therapy came yesterday and pushed me too far and I didn't understand that until I was too worn out. It was a very short session. That will not happen again.

I have an endo appt on Monday. It was actually set up for the bp spikes and tachycardia a long time ago.
