A quick summary of some of this week’s activity on the Cushing’s Help message boards.
A new question about the cost vs benefits of growth hormone under the topic Growth Hormone
A newbie who is not yet diagnosed but has Bi lateral adrenal tumors
Information about Webinar: Coping With the Ups and Downs of Pituitary Disorders
A new Image Gallery, A Dancer’s 40 lbs Weight Gain in under 2 years + symptoms
The first picture shows me in peak performance shape weighing about 105 lbs standing at 5’4″ contrasted with how I look now at about 147 lbs with swollen legs&arms, puffy red face, fat above the collar bone and on the neck, and lots of weight gain in the butt/thigh area. It really looks like I don’t have a neck anymore.
Following are photos of how my face has steadily changed every few months. Notice how I used to have a very defined heart-shaped face with a pointy chin, and now have a round face with jowls and numerous neck lines/rolls that extend past my collar bone.
The question was asked: Has anyone stayed in a hospital for multiple days of inpatient testing?
A new member from Nottingham, UK was told she had cyclical edema, then PCOS which all turned out to be Cushing’s.
