I got the results of my ovarian ultrasound and it was normal. Today I had a physical to see what kinds of other testing I can do. The doctor found my blood pressure high yet again. After examining me and taking my history he told me to go for an ultrasound of my kidneys and gall bladder just to rule it out (I've had kidney stones and my father had his gallbladder taken out) but ultimately thought the problems might be coming from my AD. I've been on it for about 4 years now (2nd time on it) and am at the highest dose. He said the symptoms I have are side effects that can happen at any time so he thinks I should decrease the dose a bit.
NOW is not a good time with SAD coming my way. I told him I go to the pdoc on Monday and will ask her to lower it for now and I pray that I don't replapse. This is the only med I don't tend to gain weight on (although losing it is quite a challenge this time) and experience any annoying side effects (other than possibly having a heart attack or stroke from high BP). ugh
