And It's About Time There Was Some Support For Cushing's!
I am 49 year old female, married 24 yrs.
3 children, 1 son 23, one daughter 20, son 18. granddaughter on the way. 2 dogs 5 cats, Currently not working, had pit surgery 6/18/07.
Pit macroadenoma 1.3cm, assumed prolactinoma but grew while taking dostinex.
Now drs think I had cylclical cushings. Cortisol crashed 2 days post op. Csf leak 4 days post op.
I told drs for years that something was wrong-weight gain, hbp, kidney stone, skin tags, red face, depression, hump, arthritis, burcitus, periods stopped, acne, hirutism, headaches, memory problems and on and on.
Sorry if I seem really blah, but I feel crappy. I really didn't expect all this post op fatique and pain. I am hoping to talk to someone who can understand this awful hydrocortisone replacement.
And when I am feeling better I can be a good listener. I am alive and learning to appreciate the family that I have. Husband and kids have been very supportive.
