Thanks for sharing. I had Cushing’s about 8 years ago. It was life changing. Due to a history of overeating, my doctor kept saying “eat less exercise more”. I lacked energy, had hair loss, put on 60lbs, and was eating less than 1000 calories a day. It wasn’t until my legs gave out at work and I fell, that the doctor recommented me to additional specialist. I had a tumor removed on my kidney, and was on prednisone for a year. I am doing well now, however it was a long journey to recover.
Thanks for this. This is very interesting!
Thank you for posting this. I have watched a lot of videos of this and very few are encouraging. I'm being tested now for this and I'm praying for the kind of results displayed here.
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother these days =)
@Huxley Brentley definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself =)
Was it an MRI of the stomach that you had?
Sounds like they put her on Korlym. Hope she’s doing okay and not experiencing the side effects of it.
First i invent high blood pressure..when doctor started diagnosis i discover i have high blood sugar,high cholestetol level pink color abdominal stiae...when doctor gave me cortisol test the 24 hour urinary test was almost double as far normal range is confirmed...but acth and blood cortisol was normal...aftet that they gave me ct scan of adrenal gland and it also remained normal...after one month they again gave me 24 hour urinary cortisol test but it was negative then...the Low dose dexamethasone test was also normal...i have often asked have i ever took steroid! Yes i had a eczema before this disease so i took a high steroid ointment named clobetasol ...but i dont use it for almost 3 months...still i have high blood prssure ...what should i do?
Hi there. You should ask your doctor to do an abdominal sonar on you just to see if they can see any tumors in your adrenal glands. If they dont then they should do a CT scan or MRI of your patruitary gland in your head since the tumor could there as well. The best option for a cure is definitely surgery to remove the tumor. I was diagnosed with cushings in 2011. Had the tumor and my right adrenal gland removed and all my medical issues like high BP, high cholesterol and diabetes went away within days. I have lived a pretty normal life since then with no medical issues.
See another doctor, get tested over & over... For many, diagnosis can take years to nail down. Some people have cyclical cushings.
If possible, look up "Dr Friedman" in LA California...Hes an Endo that specializes in all this and more..he does follow up appts via phone
I too used clobetasol for over a year and have had similar problems for fhw last 12 years. I have gained well over a hundred pounds even though I have done everything right.Could that cause endocrine problems?
Doctor feels I have this and much more I knew something was wrong when I was about 30 my hair started coming out and always had to shave my head bald and working out like crazy but barely seeing results I can lose weight when I eat about 700 cals. Now breast has been holding milk for awhile they checked my prolactin it is now 188.0 and cortisol is very high as well they checking for tumor this weekend I knew something was wrong long years ago but knowone could tell me or cared to be honest
medicine is most probably cabergoline or bromocriptine.... but only an endo can advise on that.
i have low blood pressure (likely cushings)
what is the medicine??????????? I had cushings for years and years and would love to know what medicine they are talking about....?????
it depends on what causes the Cushings on what they use for treatment
let me tell you all this..after yrs of not listening to me they put me on spirolactin then later ketaconzale..both aren't to be used longer then a yr.. keto causes liver failure and if not monitored can kill u..I took myself off after being on keto for 2 yrs bc I read and MRI which said extensive liver damage!!!I took myself off and called my local endo..she said oh ok. that's good u took yourself off!! I'm much worse w/o taking it but I want surgery in the bad adrenal and NOONE will touch me..this disease has slowly killed me for yrs while they watched or ran the same tests for yrs after KNOWING what I had..or bouncing me to ANOTHER specialist...this is. b's!! I've studied all this for yrs I could have a degree by now..I seem to know more then MOST Drs!!! I'm still sick and angry..sorry for the rant..I'm just so tired of fighting for what should be done..why do I have to educate and beg??? long story short..I'm being blackballed while fighting for my life.. anyway my point is the medicines a bandaid..don't take it for longer then a yr..!!!KETOCONAZOLE. yes an antifungal also..
@@jackiebilder5183 70s years CUSHINGS IS SHOVED OFF AS MENTAL ILLNESS. they new it is a medical illnes but rather let the shrink take over and why. they still don't know how to treat you. STEROIDS KILL THE INNER BODY some cancer patients would not touch steroids.
@@kitten_purrrs73 Doctors cause cushings by giving healthy people deaxamethasone/triamcinolone/prednisone/statins/b/p meds/antybiotics. and just for poison ivy like other issues that can heal it self in a short time. God dam sick evil care.
@@jackiebilder5183 You are so correct. they make you sicker wile they roll in the money. cushings patients in the past 70 years are all mental patients in state hospitals. not now for a pressident shut them down. they knew cushings is medical but knowing they don't know shit about the illnes they tried for years and still try to order patiants to shrinks and drug them with poison . i went to many docs and they are the same as you said. a few i know had steroids for poison ivy and now the good health they had is cushings like D. Can you believe they are trying or all ready replacing steroids from opioids. THAT IS PATHECTICLY DANGEROUS. people would be better off today to wear a braslet if i am passed out don't inject any thing and let me pass in comfort and not complete agony is worse than death.
what is good hospital for thise decicese in india.
none. past 70 years in us they sent patiant to mental hospitals with cushings. they can not treat it any better today. they can make you more sick to death with these wacky man made steroids.
not rare much longer indusing cusgings with poison steroids for men and woman.
One can try fasting
That's just the point, dufus. It's not related to caloric intake.
Why do women wear mini skirts, then are terrified to uncross their legs.... Either wear a longer skirt or wear jeans or or something....
Jason King. um that's not the subject..who cares what the hell she wears
This is CZcams not PornTube.
@@amymuchko7106 people wounder why people are more stressed depressed today. why may be cause when they get teated for a small cut or head pain of any kind poison ivy any thing, they don't know they are taking a steroid type of medication by 100ds of different names. also like statins b/p meds antibiotics the people wounder why and the big pharma doctors claw backs pharma kickbacks roll in the doe. nice way to live with care today. i do hope i am WRONG THOUGH.
Why do men and even women feel the need to constantly criticize women or even men. This environment of endless criticism is STRESSFUL.
And yet, she pulls it off. Manages to wear it and look classy I mean. Win for Olga!
