Yeah they missed a modifier. It should say something like "of those 17%" or "of those patients" so it was clear which patients the 46% referred to.

I was miserable with Cushing's. I am not sorry I had a bla and do think Cushing's would've eventually killed me.

I think most people on this board who end up with a bla do really well. Good doctors matter.

And I suspect the cause of death for those subjects in that study is something else. Adrenal crisis can kill you, but you have notice!

Thanks for sharing, Mary. I'm trying to get access to the full article, can't seem to figure it out. Maybe it isn't in PubMed yet? Anyhow, thanks for sharing all the same.

Are there any long term reproductive implications due to use of Korlym?

Hi Vicky,

Sounds like your neuro is a smart one, and hopefully your endo proves to be as well. There are medications that can raise serum cortisol levels (birth control pills, other oral estrogens are ones that immediately come to mind). You can do some research on these boards to see about medications that interfere with testing.

If your tests are positive, you will need to find the source, pituitary or adrenal, and then you will be better equipped to decide what your next step is. Good luck!
