Admin ~AnnOuncement~ Posted February 14, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 TONIGHT! Join Robin (staticnrg), a pituitary patient and researcher. This show will be at 7:30PM (note later time!) Robin had Cushing's for over 20 years, at least. Of course, no one figured it out or even put two and two together until her new PCP whom she found in 2004 said "endocrine". She didn't figure it out, either, but at least Robin had a piece of the puzzle and she found cushings-help.com. Robin immediately went into denial and left for several months until she got so sick she knew she had to have help. She had originally sought this PCP because she had been going to all sorts of doctors for all sorts of things trying to get help. Robin kept getting sicker and sicker, and it got harder and harder to do anything. Eventually, after having a bad experience with UVA, she went to see Dr. F. We went through some rounds of testing, had our ups and downs, but he stuck with me, and she got some sky high test results. she had to learn when to test because she was cyclical. Oddly enough, Dr. J., when she had surgery, insisted she was "classical" Cushing's. She didn't care what you call it, she just wanted to get well. Join Robin Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 7:30 PM Eastern at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/CushingsHelp The Call-In number is (646) 200-0162.

MCF Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I only heard the last few minutes, but I'm dying to hear part 2, also. Mary, you're a very skilled and relaxed NPR style interviewer, I think, and you both presented so very well, from the little bit I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 2000 Posts gumdrop Posted February 15, 2008 Over 2000 Posts Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Great job ladies. I had to laugh when Robin said she was told that she was wearing too much blush because I've been told that before without having any makeup on at all.
