I was very sorry to hear about this terrible treatment.
May I ask you how the diagnosis of adrenal tumours and diabetes was made and what was the cause of your polyneuropathy.
Many thanks
Jean

People with an adrenal gland tumor MAY experience the following symptoms or signs. Sometimes, people with an adrenal gland tumor do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not a tumor.
High blood pressure
Low potassium level
Heart palpitations
Nervousness
Feelings of anxiety or panic attacks
Headache
Excessive perspiration
Diabetes
Abdominal pain
Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
Weakness
Abdominal stretch marks
Excessive hair growth
Unusual acne
Change in libido (sex drive)
In addition, pheochromocytoma may cause dangerous surges of the adrenal gland hormones that regulate blood pressure and response to stress. A hormonal surge can cause blood pressure to increase very quickly, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, hemorrhage, or sudden death.
As for polyneruropathy it has been a gradual thing.

With regard to your question about the thyroid I think the standard tests are the TSH, T3 and T4, Thyroid antibodies , cbc, u's and e's which stands for urea and electrolytes. Do you know what your vitamin D level is ? Have you had a bone profile test done? This is blood test.
A lot of the signs and symptoms you list are similar to those of a thyroid disorder.
I assume that you see and endocrinologist for your diabetes.
I suggest that you just ask the endocrinologist for the thyroid tests to be done and take it from there.
Kind regards

Your signs and symproms could be due to vit D deficiency and/or thyroid disorder. However itt is a good idea to get thee bloodworks done if you can.
If you search for the Vit D Council you will see lots of info on the link beyween Vit D deficiency and certain conditions including thyroid disorders etc.They also have a newsletter.
I presume that you are in the UK.
with kind regards

Diabetes and vit D deficiency disorder can cause shoulder problems. As stated in another e mail if you search for the Vitamin D council you will get lots of valuable info on the subject and they have an informative newsletter as well.
