With most endocrinologic conditions, physicians prescribe medication, patients take it with varying degrees of compliance, laboratory test are obtained to assess degree of efficacy along with patient symptoms, a dose is settled on, and patients continue on their treatment journey. With aging, there’s often a need to decrease the dose of medication but, by and large, patients remain on a stable daily dose of medication.For some conditions, however, such as vasopressin deficiency, there is considerable variation in the absorption of the medication from one day to the next. Humans exist in different climates, exert themselves in different ways, and thus must learn to adapt their medication schedule and water intake to their environment, activity, etc. Every day is different. Sick days included. A trek to the doctor’s office or even to the hospital is usually an epiphany of sorts. Affected patients know far more about this condition and its treatment than do most doctors and other health professionals.
