My endo is working up my labs to explore possible Conn's Syndrome. I'm trying to wrap my head around what life with Conn's would be like. I see a lot of videos on what it is but very little about what it's like to live with this condition. I have undetectable renin which of course throws my ARR off.

CT Scan with no contrast came back clear. My endo is leaning towards bilateral Conn's Syndrome.

Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing from you!

Solo IT professionals. What is your time off/work life balance like?

I have 2 iPads that I can't get to fully enroll today. They are both in ABM and assigned the correct MDM policy. They get about 1/2 way through the enrollment process and then just get stuck at Configuring iPad. The devices do come through to my Intune list but nothing past that. There is no assigned used because I don't make it that far into the process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions/details that I left out. The profile is set to
Enroll with User Affinity.

I KNOW it’s just a matter of time before he swears Claude sent an email (with mistakes/incorrect data) and wants me to get it back or do something about it. We are a sMB. I’m going to have a talk with him to see exactly what he’s actually trying to do. Do you have Claude connected to your users SharePoint, OneDrive, Calendar, Outlook including permission to send emails on their behalf? High ranking people can easily tarnish their own reputation and/or the reputation of the company by sending a wrong email. Am I overreacting? I think it comes down to his give an inch, take 3 years mentality. He’ll say whatever to get what he wants and then will just do whatever. He’s too trusting of AI.

I’m low on IGF-1, low renin, testosterone, low potassium, I can’t reliability concentrate urine, and am cold all the time. My MRI shows a legion near my pituitary (4mm) and the bright spot that shows shored ADH was greyed out. My doctor is trying to treat this conditions one by one. NO ONE could be that unlucky to have that many underperforming hormones and it not be connected! There aren’t that many coincendenaces in the world.

How did you get diagnosed? How did you get doctors to look at the big picture and see that hypopituitaryism was an option? Are you just seeing an endo or a specialist one?

I feel like the use of tablets is about to grow in my organization. We have a few iPads. They are okay, but most people who have iPads also have a laptop. So, if there’s an issue they’ll just say hey, I’ll swing by when I’m in the office next or I can drop it off, etc. I’d be a little more cautious about having users whose only device is an iPad. I can’t remote into them to help and every app doesn’t work exactly the way they do on a PC. I prefer the PC versions of office vs iOS.

I’ve had a surface, but the stand is a little bit awkward. I’d be worried about a person using this as a primary device if they don’t have a full time place to use it.

Both would be managed through Intune and both devices would be prone to being dropped. Screen issues mean they have to be sent it/taken in for repairs. I’d have spares of course. What are your thoughts on iPad vs Surface? Are there other tablets you would consider?

The part that I'm happiest about is a 90-day timeframe includes a weeklong cruise my wife and I went on back in March. That atmosphere really tested me. There are some things I'll do differently when I go on my next vacation. It just goes to show you that it's about averages and doing right by your body the majority of the time, not perfection.

Last injected 12/20/25. I’ve kept up my workouts and nutritional plan. Can’t wait to see what my A1C is!

Update: A1C is 5.5!!!!!!!
