Juana's Story

I was diagnosed with cushings during the summer of 2004. As of right now I don't know what kind I have or how I got it, but the past yr i have gone thru so many changes. I just don't feel like the same person anymore. I use to be full of energy and needed only 2-5 hrs of sleep a night. But lately that is not the case I feel terrible all the time and sleep about 9 hrs a night and sometimes when I have a day off work I will sleep off and on most of the day. My body hurts all the time, I have gained about 50 lbs during the last yr. My DR. is going to send me to see an ENDO. soon so hopefully I will have some answers and on the path of feeling better.

Well after 2 yrs of testing positive for cushings i finally get to see an Endo. tomorrow. I am soooo excited. Can't wait !!!
