HILDEGARD Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I found a couple websites you might enjoy. I learned a lot from both of them. I really like the first one called arupconsult. Look for the tab that says "Diagnostic Algorithum" under the topic you choose. It has a tree, that basically gives ideas on what to test for. I even found some new tests I can ask the Dr for like Metyrapone and 11-Dexcortisol to rule out some adrenal possibilites for a diagnosis. Lots of info on pituitary and Cushing's. Just click on the far left of the screen where the letters are to find a topic. This one will give you a lot of info and more if you join their site. You can suscribe to a monthy membership but I found lots of good info free http://www.uptodate....home/index.html sorry about the double post. I cant seem to delete the extra one. Had a computer glitch. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFM1062 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Wow. Now I really don't know what to think. According to the algorithum, I'm not cushie because I don't get high midnite salivaries & I suppressed dex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the info you found deter you from testing or make you think that you dont have Cushing's. Keep testing. Hildegard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFM1062 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 LOL! I just realized it's for adrenal hyperfunction - I'm assuming that pit cushing's would test differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
