🦓 Day 26, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
So often during the diagnosis phase of Cushing’s I felt lost like this picture – I was walking alone to an unknown place with an unknown future. My diagnosis was pre-Internet which meant that any information had to be gotten from libraries, bookstores, magazines…or doctors. In 1983 to 1986 I knew something was terribly wrong […]
📞 Webinar Today Visual Recovery After Pituitary Surgery
April 26. Presented by: Dr. James Chandler
🦓 Day 25, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
At NIH I set up a daily “routine” of sorts and listening to these tapes was a very important part of my day and helped me get through the ordeal of more testing, surgery, post-op and more. When I had my kidney cancer surgery, those tapes were long broken and irreplaceable, but I had replaced […]
🦓 Comment added to Day 25, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
"As the darkness of evening falls, our thoughts often turn to the ending of things: the day, our tasks, perhaps even our hopes. In these moments, the plea for God to "abide" with us resonates deeply. It's a prayer for His presence to stay with us as light fades, reminding us that even in the […]
🦓 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!

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.
🦓 Comment added to Day 22, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
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 […]
📰 From Knee Pain Consultation to Pituitary Surgery: The Challenge of Cushing Disease Diagnosis
We present the case of a 66-year-old female patient who received a referral to endocrinology for an evaluation of obesity due to right knee arthropathy. Taking into consideration her age, she was screened for osteoporosis, with results that showed diminished bone density. Considering this, combined with other clinical features of the patient, suspicion turned toward […]
