i got to see dr michael mcphaul. i am doing the 24 urine, the saliva test and the blood test. he is also testing my blood sugar and thyroid. so we'll see what happens. i see him in two weeks to go over the results. part of me wants it to be cushings and lets get the surgery over with. apparantly he has diagnosed people with it before and they have done the surgery there at ut southwestern. the other half iof me is scared about surgery and doesn't want it to be. he did tell me they are about to release a new drug for people that don't respond to the first surgery and he is looking into it, so i may even try it depending on what happens
