Cushing’s
- ⁉️ Cushing’s Myths and Facts: It is MY fault that I got Cushing’s…Fact: This is a very controversial topic because we don’t like to talk about it. However, many people struggle with this myth.
- 🦓 Day 17, Cushing’s Awareness ChallengeI asked doctors for several years – PCP, gynecologist, neurologist, podiatrist – all said the now-famous refrain. “It’s too rare.

I just knew that someone, somewhere would “discover” that I had Cushing’s.

- 📚 Comment on Surviving Cushing’s Disease: A Young Man’s JourneyI’m so sorry you’re still suffering, Shagufta. I know what you mean, though. It didn’t take me as long as you – or the man in this book – to be diagnosed but I still have symptoms from before surgery and some issues from the surgery itself. I hope you’re at least somewhat better than […]
- 📚 Comment on Surviving Cushing’s Disease: A Young Man’s JourneyI’m still suffering from symptoms after 25 years of surgery and it took the doctors nearly 20 years to diagnose before 2004 when I had my surgery..So yes you are never cured from this illness it is with you for life
