I am 38 and had three transphenoidal surgeries for Cushing’s.
I had a CSF leak with the 2nd and when they went in to repair it and look for more tumor my remaining pituitary gland was necrotic and I lost the whole gland.
That did not cure my Cushing’s so I went on to have a laproscopic adrenalectomy followed quickly by galbladder problems and appendicitis. Dr. Ludlan, Deleshaw and Sheppard at OHSU worked with me. I had my pituitary surgeries in 03 and my adrenals and other 2 surgeries in 04.
I have not been able to return to work as a nurse and feel thie surgeries have greatly reduced my quality of life. I would love tro talk with other people.
I have two adopted kids from China as a single mom who are 12 and 13.
I know have problems with fibromyalgia and arthritis.
