Guest Erin G. Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Cherri, Thanks - I thought that was interesting too. I saw it on TV last night. I wonder if us Cushies get bone problems because of the depression we get from the disease. Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rose Marie Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Cortisol is often mildly raised in depressed patients. Clinical depression is a form of pseudo-cushings. The cortisol is what weakens the bones :con: Try to remember that when folks mention stress... the stress hormone is cortisol. Cushings is stress in overdrive. rm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
