Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted April 6, 2022 Chief Cushie Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 The above is the official Cushing’s path to a diagnosis but here’s how it seems to be in real life: http://cushieblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/cushie-diagnosis.gif?resize=500%2C500 Egads! I remember the naive, simple days when I thought I’d give them a tube or two of blood and they’d tell me I had Cushing’s for sure. Who knew that diagnosing Cushing’s would be years of testing, weeks of collecting every drop of urine, countless blood tests, many CT and MRI scans… Then going to NIH, repeating all the above over 6 weeks inpatient plus an IPSS test, apheresis (this was experimental at NIH) and specialty blood tests… The path to a Cushing’s diagnosis is a long and arduous one but you have to stick with it if you believe you have this Syndrome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
