" Please stand up and be acknowledge. Brag all you want. If it weren't for this site I would have no knowledge about Cushings except for a picture of "me" in an old medical text book. The only thing in that book was a picture of a lady that could have been my twin and 2 paragraphs with some symptoms and the word "rare". Every doctor that I have met to date still uses that word. I appreciate and applaud you for all you do. Thank you. "

What’s wrong with me?

Why can’t they find out what is wrong?

It’s maddening knowing there is something wrong and no one can figure it out…
Does this sound familiar?

It’s time to ask: What do I know about my hormonal health?


Did you know...
Pituitary & Hormonal disorders can cause: Unexplained weight gain, excessive hair growth, loss of sex drive, diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis, depression, infertility, osteoporosis, constant fatigue, headaches, and many other symptoms...

These issues can be associated with a number of problems and are frequently dismissed. But daily sufferers who have yet to receive a proper diagnosis know that their symptoms are very real.

Proof is in the Prevalence. 1 in 5 suffers from a Pituitary or Hormonal Disorder.

Please join us for The 1st CA Hormonal & Pituitary Health Symposium. This event is specifically designed to educate patients, family members and the general public about pituitary and hormonal disorders, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. This event will include presentations by some of the brightest minds in medicine and will help guide you in finding the answers you need to help restore your health.
