hi everybody - my problems started in 1980, my blood pressure started to rise uncontrolably. over the next two years i became dangerously ill with a blood pressure reading of 220 by 170. my potasium levels dropped dangerously low, no matter what drugs were tried nothing seemed to help. no scanners in the early 80s and doctors who had never seen anyone with this condition. i was eventually taken into hospital and after numerous tests was found to have a small tumour on my adrenal glands resulting in a bilateral adrenalectomy, but no keyhole surgery then so i had a twelve inch scar across my stomach.i have been on steroids for the last 26 years and i would be very pleased to hear from anyone who is in a similar situation. keeping positive from mitchell |
