Information on Cushings? Currently being tested and so worried....

[Kadge]

Information on cushings would be greatly appreciated..... For some reason I'm so worried it's gonna be bad news! Convinced results are gonna come back with a tumour in gland or something?? Help xx

Forgot to mention sweating, all I have to do is Hoover and you would think I had just got out the bath, low libido and depressed x

Symptoms are severe fatigue, weightgain, hair loss, facial hair growth, neck pain, back ache, hips hurt at night, spots on shoulders, heart palps, very light painful periods xx

Cushings is a pretty serious issue and I don't recall any symptoms listed to know how you feel?

Thyroid and adrenal disorders are very common together so you could have a couple of things going on. Whether it is as serious as Cushings? - I can't say until you have a follow up with those labs.

Ok thank you, will have a look and repost! No lab test results yet, endo was saying he thought by my symptoms it could be cushings x

I watch the adrenal board here too and have a fabulous Leader over there named rumpled..

She is awesome!!!!

Visit there and post your questions to her too.

As for your worry on the Cushings. Is this based off a recent lab test ACTH?
