Today is the day I have chosen to take my 1st 24 hour cortisol free urine test.
I wonder if this test will come back in the "normal" range like all the blood work has.
Meaning:
Once again, Lisa, there is NOTHING WRONG with you!
You are just FAT!
SO: Get out of your bed, quit feeling sorry for yourself, deal with the 80 lb. weight gain in 4 years, the hard as a rock (7 month pregnant looking) stomach, the deepest depression ever, the black hairs all over your red face and fat neck and chest, the ugly 'buffalo hump' on the back of your neck, the hot flashes and profuse sweating, the chronic pain/muscle weakness/joint soreness, the exhaustion and fatigue, the memory loss, the weird texture of my once straight/ thick/healthy hair that is now wiry and thin, the strangest moles/skin tags/rash that continue to develop, the on again/off again blurry vision, the uncontrollable edema in my ankles and calves, the total lack of sex drive, list just goes on and on...
I wonder when I will have the results of this test?
They say "Cushing's Syndrome" is so rare... only 13 people/one million...
So, maybe not Cushing's, what then?

Thank you so much! You have just described me to a T! I may finally have hope! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI totally know how you feel. I will see a neurologist at the end of this week (have seen 4 different doctors already) and a new primary care physician. However, just in case that doesn't work out I've scheduled an appointment with the Endocrinologist. So tired of all the test and being poked and prodded. Anyhow, Cushing's Syndrome describes my symptoms spot on. I just found out about it last week. At this point I just want them to find something so I can feel better. Good luck to you.
