🎤Archived Interview: Jenn, Steroid Induced (Iatrogenic) Cushing’s patient
Jenn (StaceyJenn) was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, and a host of other ailments in 2001 (candidiasis, intestinal permeability, 22 latent food allergies).

⁉️ Cushing’s Myths and Facts: After a “cure” for Cushing’s, everyone heals and goes back to normal.

🦓 Day 13: Cushing’s Awareness Challenge 2019
Way back when we first got married, my husband thought we might have a big family with a lot of kids. He was from a family of 6 siblings, so that’s what he was accustomed to. I am an only child so I wasn’t sure about having so many. I needn’t have worried... When I had my early Cushing’s symptoms, I thought I was pregnant again but it was not to be. […]
