Have any info on Cushings Syndrome/Disease?
I have just been diagnosed with Cushings Syndrome.
I have tried for over three years to get this diagnosis...
but my urine tests kept coming back in the normal range.
I finally had a Dexamethasone Suppression Test- (the overnight blood test)
(I have had two 1mg tests and one 8mg test)
these three tests have all come back positive.
I am now waiting to find out if I will have a CT scan or a MRI to pinpoint the tumor's location- (either pituitary or adrenal) and size.
So,
Now that I am 2.5 months post-op RNY,
I am curious if anyone out there has this disease or knows anyone that does.
I would appreciate any and all info that you are willing to share with me.
Thank you soooo much!

Hi Lisa:
Saw this just a few minutes ago and remembered reading a thread here about another WLSer who had been diagnosed... so I used the search function on OH.. and there are quite a few postings out there about this.. (including yours!) Pasting the link here.
