Well you are in luck I just had my appointment with that doctor today.First they get your weight and height then his assistant comes in and asks you all kinds of question about you medical history. and then they do and exam. And if they think you have as in my case you have a bunch of other tests. I am still trying to find out exactly what this disease is.

I had Cushings disease over 10 years ago. to test you for it I had to save my urin up for a week after they give you pills to take.then you stop taking the pills and you save up your urin again.they are checking the cortizon in your body. from what i here there isnt to many people with this disease.i feel lucky i found a doctor that knew what to look for.its been over 10 years since i had it. Good luck You can e-mail me if you like [email protected]
