  1. I do have an update as of November 2010(I forgot to update and forgot about this website :( ) SO, I went to LA to see a world famous Cushings Specialist (Its late I forget his name ) AND I DO NOT have NORMAL cushings. I have LOTS of tests to go through and it is VERY possible that I DO have cushings, but a more rare form. I haven't really been feeling better other than my depression meds, but I'm still sad. :( I hope that I get WHATEVER is wrong with me sorted out..:/ -Tori

  3. today i'm feeling frustrated and impatient with the diagnosis process. I know that I have truly been fortunate to have seen an endo who recognized and knew how to test for Cushings. My initial 24 hr dexa-supp test resulted in 3.8. Tomorrow morning i will go have a 48 hr dex-supp draw, earlier this week i returned 2 salivary tests, which she said could take up to 3 weeks for results. meanwhile I surf this board and the internet feeding a growing obsession to validate her theory.
