I’m writing because im frustrated and sad. Today I got my results and doctor says negative for Cushings .
CORTISOL, FREE 24 HOUR.
F CORTISOL, FREE, URINE 36.2 Range 4.0 to 50.0
I have another appointment with an assistant to an Endocronologist but that’s not until next month March. I’m tiered of waiting.
I’m fatigued all the time. Insomnia. Emotional and currently tapering off venlafaxine. Lots of hair for a female. Camel hump.
Large abdomen. Low thyroid and high testosterone. Purple stretch marks. Edema in ankles and legs. Extreme joint paint and vitamin D deficiency. My teeth are decaying. I gained 50-60 pounds in 1.5years. Memory issues. Prediabetic and some hypoglycemia. Blurry vision sometimes.
I was hoping finally I would get treatment. I want to get an answer and help. I want to live again. I want to one day have anther child. I just know that I cannot plan on moving forward with life without taking care of this. I feel like I’m just in a hole.
I’m 31 years old.

Read The Magnesium Miracle by Dr. Carolyn Dean. I have been taking a lot of liquid Magnesium and minerals she suggested and I feel better. I had the same symptoms, plus polycystic ovaries, and migraines. This regime has helped me. I also have osteopenia and high blood calcium. I hope calcium starts going in my bone.

I definitely know how you feel. My MRI confirmed a Pituitary Tumor 13x16mm (benign/macroadenoma). Just got officially diagnosed last week. All my medical records were sent to University of Virginia, just waiting for a call for an appointment. Being 32 but feeling 90 is no fun. No one really knows how this feels. When I complain about being tired and exhausted i think people just think im lazy and I’m taking advantage of the diagnoses… I just want to be me again 🙁
