You have truly brought information, hope, and encouragement to so many. There’s no way to appreciate fully all you did by unselfishly beginning and maintaining the message boards and the rest of the sites. The boards helped guide me through the awful Cushing’s maze to other Cushies and to medical help. Thank you, dear lady!

…Thanks for paving the way for so many of us to have a road to follow. It’s surely not been the straightest or had it’s fill of potholes. BUT as rollercoaster riders AND Journey Zebra Warriors. WE stand United AND will carry on. NO matter OUR obstaclessss.. Hugs and Smiles ALWAYS to U AND Urs. Mike.

…Thank you Mary for these boards which back in 2000 were the only source of support and education there was for a patient like me. I joined them in 2000 and again in 2004. I will always be grateful for the sense of normalcy and belonging I found on this web site. I work from home now and have a great life! To all of you just starting the journey……DONT GIVE UP….LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AND YOU MATTER…With the right Drs on your team and these boards you can live your best life. Educate yourself and be proactive. Be strong and please don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask for help…

Shauna: Nine years? Amazing how the time flies. It’s been 8 years since my pit surgery and 7 since my BLA. It all feels like yesterday. What a lifesaver you’ve created Mary. That’s one heck of a legacy and we all owe you a huge thanks.

Just wanted to add much love and thanks for everything you have done. You probably don’t even know how many lives you have touched, and saved! Although I don’t have an official diagnosis yet, I did find out about being GH deficient so if I ever get insurance to cooperate hopefully that will improve symptoms. Thanks again:)

Thank you. I have been reading the blogs, it’s helpful. So thank you for putting in the effort on the site.
This is extremely frustrating and upsetting. But like I’ve read from others, I finally have a reason for all the issues I was having.
Thank you again for the site and the warm welcome.
