And It's About Time There Was Some Support For Cushing's!
I have Iatrogenic Cushings---I also have adrenal insuffiency ---One doctor told me to just say I have Addison's---I have many symptoms of Addison's but I don't have the salt issues. I have much empathy for the 52 year old man (MEME?)
I am 60 and have been on cortico-steroids since 1979---everyday. It has beaten up my body alot-oh--I have steroid dependent asthma--I have essentially been in statis asthmaticus and/or on steroids for 30 years.
My allergist told me I have the twitchiest lungs he has ever seen. I am sharing this because anyone else on steroids for their asthma must have very twitchy lungs too.
I know I am lucky because I have never been on a respirator--Hospitalized yes.
I would like to hear from other folks with steroid dependent asthma or other Cushing's folks who would like to e-mail me. Nancy
