🦓 Day 24: Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
I’ll never know if that hit on my head contributed to my Cushing's but I have seen several people mention on the message boards that they had a traumatic head injury of some type in their earlier lives.
🦓 Day 23, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
Saturday, 4/23/16 really was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. Suffice it to say, we arrived at the Tattoo and I got no nap at all, all day!
📰 Unveiling the Uncommon: Cushing’s Syndrome (CS) Masquerading as Severe Hypokalemia
This case report presents an unusual manifestation of CS in a 48-year-old male with a history of hypertension, where severe hypokalemia was the primary presentation.

A couple years later and "My Dream Day" is substantially the same but now it would include playing with my grandchildren and, instead of practicing the aerophone, practicing the balalaika.
🦓 Day 22, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
This is a tough one. Sometimes I’m in “why me” mode. Why Cushing’s? Why cancer? Unfortunately, there’s not a thing I can do about either. Cushing’s, who knows the risk factors? For kidney cancer I found out the risk factors and nearly none apply to me. So why? But why not? No particular reason why […]

Considering this, combined with other clinical features of the patient, suspicion turned toward […]
🖤 In Memory of Natalie Fay ~ April 21, 2008
Natalie had a BLA in March, 2008. She died April 21, 2008. She was only 42 and had recently had a BLA. I first met Natalie at a local lunch in November of 2001 and have seen her several times since then.
🦓 Day 21, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
The image above is from our first local meeting, here in Northern VA – note the 6 Cushing St. sign behind us. Natalie was the Cushie in the middle.
🦓 Day 20, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
And today, we talk about pink jeeps and ziplines… How in the world did we get here in a Cushing’s Challenge? I’m sliding these in because earlier I linked (possibly!) my growth hormone use as a cause of my cancer – and I took the GH due to Cushing’s issues. Clear? LOL
