And It's About Time There Was Some Support For Cushing's!
Hi everyone!
My name is Lynn Mazzola. I am a 39 year old with adrenal Cushing's. My left adrenal gland was removed on Nov 29, 2000, in Portland Or. 24 hours after surgery, I went into adrenal crisis and was in a crisis for three days due to sodium and potassium crash.
My tumor had been present for about 5 years but it took three years of different doctors to diagnose me with Cushing's. Now one year post op I have lost 45 lbs on weight watchers but still taking 35mg of cortef and 50 mg potassium and diabetic. My other glands have not started to function yet now I am at home recovering from ankle surgery scared to death of infection or not healing because of the steroids...Has anyone else had surgery while still on high doses of cortef? Please help me with any info you can...Thanks Lynn
