    Cushing's poem

    By Crystal34,

    These doctors think I'm crazy fat and just plain lazy.
    I try to explain my symptoms but my mind is foggy and hazy.
    I now have bad acne and my skin is an oily mess.
    Doctors say it's hormones and stress.
    It's been one exhausting test after another.
    I pray my diagnosis isn't much further.
    I'm tired of looking like a pumpkin head.
    Doctors say I'm not cushingoid looking enough instead.
    For me these last two years have been a nightmare.
    I'm grateful for all the supportive Cushies who's making others aware.
    We are stronger together united this battle fight!
    We are Cushing's warrior's and will continue to shed light!

    Cushing's battle

    By Crystal34,

    Hi,
    I have both on over two and half years quest to find out what is causing strange symptoms. I didn't have insurance because I lost it in my divorce. I been running to every doctor I could and even an Dermatologist for strange skin infections and severe acne. This has been a nightmare. I never heard of Cushing's before this. I am undiagnosed still. I been seeing an Endocrinologist and all cortisol levels,hormones, head CT,abdominal ultrasound, adrenal glands MRI normal. Now unknown mass in my mediastinal area found and going for chest Xray Thursday. I had to beg my primary doctor for that. She thinks it's abnormal fat deposit.? How can this be so hard to diagnose?

    I just received a call from my pcp that my pap smear came back with cancer cells possible pre cancer. I have possibly Cushing's Syndrome that I have been going to to an Endocrinologist for still undiagnosed. I researched and found that Cushing's Syndrome can result from Cervical Cancer due to ectopic ATCH secreting tumor. I go for an more invasive biopsy next Monday. I am going to stay positive note matter the results.
