Spread The Word! Cushing's Pocket Reference
Robin Writes:
This has been a concern of mine for some time. Your post spurred me on to do something I've been meaning to do. I've designed something you can print that will fit on the business cards you can buy just about anywhere (Wal-mart included). You can also print on stiff paper and cut with a paper cutter or scissors. I've done a front and a back.
Here are the links:
• Front: This card is being presented by a person who cares.
• Back (The same for everyone)

Ways to Give Back... in no particular order:
- Endocrine Society News - Cushing's as Cover Story!ENLetters@endo-society.org to send a letter to the editor. Some will be published and the doctors (endos!) who read this will get the patient's eye view.
- Participate on the message boards and help support others, especially newcomers. If you see a post with no, or few responses, say something so that the person doesn't feel like they're being ignored. I've noticed that many people here are very good at this :)
- If you've had successful surgery, stick around to offer hope to those who come after. Far too many cured Cushies leave, and present an unbalanced look of life after Cushing's.
- Add (or update) your bio.
- Attend the chats.
- Offer to talk to others offline.
- Send cards or little notes to others who are hurting - either online, or through snailmail. There are some free eCards available through Hallmark, Bluemountain, many places. If you don't know someone's email address for an eCard, you can send it to yourself, get the link (URL) when it comes to you and paste that into a PM for the person.
- Add a review of this website.
- Use the "Tell a Friend" links on any page to share it with someone who would be interested.
- Be a board moderator.
- Visit other Cushies in the hospital, or go with them to doctor appointments. Call them when you know that they're "down" - or happy!
- Print your own Cushing's brochures. These work best on tri-fold brochure paper.
- Print some brochures and pass them out to doctors, Weight Watchers and other similar meetings, people who look Cushie. There are also Cushings-Help business cards available.
- Wear your Cushing's Awareness bracelet or pin often and tell everyone what it means.
- If someone asks how you're doing, explain Cushing's to them, at least a simple version! I've been doing this with my piano students and parents - they're finally getting it!
- Submit your Helpful Doctor info - we need all the good doctors we can get.
- Submit any Helpful Books you may have read - we need all the info we can get.
- Submit Your Helpful Hints for Dealing With Cushing's
- Attend meetings, be involved
- Help Jayne get Cushing's Awareness Day enacted.
- Participate in The Clothes Closet, the book project
- Someday, maybe you'll meet a Cushie without a computer. Offer to print out helpful pages for him/her, or invite her over to check out your computer. Invite him to a local meeting, or give her the number (703-745-3554) to call for more info.
- Help someone fill out insurance or disability forms.
- Ask someone how you could help them.
- Share your good news - it spreads like wildfire!
- Pray, or send healing thoughts, to those who need them
- Post relevant News Items that may help someone else.
- Use iGive.com when you buy things online; buy books using the links on the book pages; tshirts and such from the giftstore. Then WEAR those tshirts!
- If you see on the Calendar that today is someone's birthday, or surgery anniversary or other special event, please acknowlege that on the boards.
