I am so glad you finally have a diagnosis. I wish you well in a successful treatment.

I am so happy for you. I'm practically crying right now. I'm 22 and I am still suffering trying to get a diagnosis. It has been so hard for me being in college and not understanding what is happening to me. I can't take any class earlier than noon because I am too weak in the mornings to get out of bed. I have missed so much of my "college experience" due to my problems: watching all my friends get dressed up in cute clothes to go out and have a good time, while I can't even put my pants on because I am gaining weight so fast. I have gone up 3 sizes this year and I'm almost at my wits end with clothes. I'm just keep counting down the days until I get an answer. Please keep me updated on your progress. It would make me feel so much better about my own problems.

Good luck with it all!

I'm still working towards a diagnosis myself, but I am happy that you finally got one. I totally understand the happiness associated with a positive diagnosis. You're not a hypochondriat! There really is something wrong! Now they can maybe do something to fix it. I'm totally trying to get to that point. Good luck with everything. I'm 27 now and they originally diagnosed pituitary tumors on me when I was about your age. I still haven't gotten anything beyond that.

I will be 40 this summer...

Anyway, I was just DIAGNOSED a couple of weeks ago and you would have thought that I won the lottery!

Finally!!! I was right all along, and I knew I could not be getting this fat, exhausted, depressed, hairy, ugly, moley, bruised up, never sleeping, hair falling out, biggest pregnant belly you've ever seen with thin legs....I told everybody I was sick... so, brain surgery on April 7th is the best day ever!

Only we can understand this crazy feeling. Our families and friends are great, but, I really am tired of trying to convince them that something is really wrong with me.

I am not lazy, I am not eating too much, I am not happy that I do not want to do the things I used to love and enjoy.... I am just tired, sore, weak, depressed, anxious and miserable. I cannot wait for this nightmare to end! I want to be my old self again... I know you do too... We all do.

Thanks for this great blog. God bless you and I pray that you get the perfect solution to your Cushings... meds/surgery/etc...
