Thanks, I do have adrenal insufficiency, because the pituitary which stimulates the adrenals, isn't working.

I've been on Klonopin as needed for neuropathy pain for ages, so that's okay. And I don't think I'll actually take the Lyrica. I do try to do without.

Yes, nobody has any idea why these things happen. I know that the antiphospholipid antibodies turn up with infections and inflammation, so that explains the transient increase.

It was a nothing, thank goodness. Just a scare.

I'm hopeful that this will go away and not progress. My doctor said that 4 of the 5 he's seen in the past few weeks are better. One is kind of limping along, he said.

Thank you so much for your help, Mrs D. You seem to have at your fingers a million websites which are all pertinent, none of which I'd have found on my own.

You are a dear, and have been so helpful.
