Troya's Articles

Over the last few years, I have tried to find online Cushing's supportgroups. Last year, my search led me to Suite101.com and a PituitaryDisorders group run by Troya Renee Yoder. When I wrote to her abouttrading links with her, Troya said that she was no longer maintaining thatgroup. She had written some wonderfully informative articles that wereposted there and I was afraid that if Suite101.com takes the area down for lackof a moderator, that others would not be able to benefit from these articlesanymore.

So, I asked... Troya said yes...and here are her articles,preserved so that others can get help and hope from them.

Thanks so much, Troya!
