I also get a strange feeling in my chest.

When I am lying down I feel like there is a huge, lead weight lying across my chest.

I feel like it is pushing me into the mattress.

I have always thought that was when my Cortisol was high.

I have a harder time breathing when this happens.

I find myself concentrating on this heavy feeling until I make myself change positions.

After moving my body the feeling subsides.

Hope this helps and that you are healed soon!

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...
