A Golden Oldie
I was diagnosed with cushing syndrome in February as my cortisol levels were over 300.
A benign tumor was found on my right adrenal gland and it was removed May 3rd. I guess I thought everything would be fine after. My left adrenal gland is still not producing any cortisol so I am on hydrocortisone.
I wake up everymorning with diarrhea and I am nauseas nearly all day. I thought this would end after the surgery but now I am losing weight because I am not eating and my Endocrinologist says these symptoms are not due to the cushings and I should investigate further.
I don’t know where to turn?

Hi Elana, have you had any progress? I’m still struggling after my adrenal removal taking hydro cortisone in ever smaller doses to wake up the other adrenal. We have Secondary Addisons, so I’m not surprised about your symptoms. I have many including the ones you mention. Please get in touch.
