This question came up on the message boards today: Anyone ever used a Rife Machine on Cushings syndrome?
My response:
I don’t think so – this is the first I have heard of a Rife Machine so I looked it up and found this info:
Anyone else? Have you heard of this for Cushing’s?
Frantbri, are you going to try it? If so, please keep us posted!
It would be great if something like this worked.

– Excessive fatigue even after a nights sleep
– Weak muscles – mainly back /arms and shoulders

I’m wondering if anyone post surgery is dealing with PTSD, specifically feeling like you are re-experiencing Cushings when you are having anxiety. I’m almost 3 years post surgery and have regular panic attacks where I feel like I am re-living having the disease

Jess asks on the Message Boards:
Hello, – a little back story. I have a 15 year old son who over the past couple of years has gained 60 pounds and has increasingly become angry, depressed, anxious- to the point where he was having thoughts of suicide. We went to a behavioral health specialist who put him on anti-anxiety meds, but his aggression has become worse and worse. I literally found myself last week saying, never in my life would I think this kid would act so violently towards me or his siblings. He was a good, sensitive kid. His mood can change in the blink of an eye. He also is very withdrawn and anxious to the point where he now does online school. We have contributed all of this to puberty and life experiences, just typical teenage stuff… but last week, when i was able to actaully have him come out of his room… i noticed a “lump” on the top of back, base of the neck. I am not sure if a buffalo hump can be caused by playing video games and sitting in a computer chair for 18 hours a day? Or if this is considered a buffalo hump??

Kenz asked:
I got my lab work done.
I have all the symptoms of cushing’s Disease, from the buffalo hump and obesity to the easy bruising and the muscle weakness.
My cortisol levels came back normal, and I haven’t gotten the results of my ACTH yet.
Has anyone had normal cortisol levels come back and still had cushing’s Disease?

Is itching common with Cushing’s Syndrome? Is it common to feel somewhat good for a day and then have itching, high blood pressure, nausea, flushed red face?
