Sounds like you have Cushings. Although high blood pressure is common ( mine was 180 over 120) not all symptoms are always present. I wish you could get things rolling faster. Our conditionis very dangerous. Purple Stretch marks and the a-typical weight gain( have you lost hair on your legs?) I'm certain you've got it. I also had severe osteo. a bone density scan revealed i lost 30% bone density. If it's possible for you to get international coverage, I suggest getting reffered to Dr. Harley Smythe in Toronto, Canada. He is the top specialist in the world for cushings. He told me most neuro surgeons deal with cushings patients a possible 10 times in their careers. I was his 251st cushings patient. I had a complication that he said many surgeons may have given-up on, causing my surgery to be unsuccessful. But he had seen it a couple of times before and knew how to proceed. He works out of the Trillium Health Centre in Toronto.
