Cushing's Info

I'm 31 years old and feel like I'm 80.  I've been ill for so many different things over the past couple of years.

In the past year alone I've seen 5 doctors who couldn't tell me the time. They made me feel like I was crazy. Even when I got double vision in my right eye and had to wear an eye patch for 3 months. No one could figure out why.  I still have vision disturbances but after two med packs of steriods the double vision went away.

I came across this web site last week and connected with so many things from other people. I printed off the sheets and took them to a new neurologist I was scheduled to see.  To my amazement he completly agreed with me! He said it was very likely I did have cushings and/or PCOS. He scheduled an appointment for a Endocrinologist that specializes in this area and I am to see them Tuesday. I will update from then but I want to say I'm grateful for this site because it gave me some hope of an answer. I've been so miserable. I felt like my soul was trapped by my body and I didn't even have the energy to make it better.

If you're doctor makes you feel crazy, find another one. I know even with insurance it's expensive but help is imperative.

Here's a list of my symptoms:

-hump on my neck (have had for a while and thought it was from bad posture!)

-hard to breathe, like there's somthing heavy on my chest
-reoccurent kidney stones
