And It's About Time There Was Some Support For Cushing's!
My Name is Carmie I have had a for year sturggle with wight gain and was consitering Baratric surgary.
As I was talking to my Dr and she was wrighting down my syptoms she thought that I may have cushings. So I came home and started reserching this and here I am. I feel like some of the bios were written about me.
I have been told over and over that my 65Lb weight gain is due to what I put in my mouth. But no matter how much I eat or workout I am stll gaining. All of the Dr's that I have seen have looked at me in disbelif and I was just starting to accept that my body was doing what it need to do. I was told that all of my symptoms were because of the weight gain and not visversa. So here I am and as unhappy as I am about possibly having this I am happy that some one finally put a face to the name.
I think the only thing that I regret is not paying attention to some of the things that are going on with me and are totaly out of character like mood swings and random dizziness. I work out ( alot ) so I thought that I was always sore due to that. The one thing I could never find an excuse for is lactating. I have not had a child for 10 years. I told at least 3 Drs about this and they did not have any thing to say about it. I was just told that I was producing more hormones because I had gained so much weight.
I appreciate all of the information on this site. Because of this information I have decided to see a specilist first. Although it is expensive I know I am worth it and would rather pay for it now rather than later. I will keep you posted.
