Thank you for the reply. To deal with Osteoporosis and Cushing disease makes it very difficult. I am wondering what was the Epilepsy drug you were taking? I would like to know how it was confirmed or what test to diagnose the Epilepsy drug caused the Osteoporosis?
I live in Canada, we do have private health insurance, my doctor would never diagnose a drug she prescribed. I am sure no one wants to take drugs. But I do hope you're getting relief from the Cushing Disease and Osteoporosis.

drug was tegrtol, I was in to have a hernia repaired and surgeon found tumor on one of my adrenal gland (He knew I had CLL). The doctor noticed right away by hump on back and moon face, had me take a fasting cortisol test and it was double the normal amount, had adrenal gland that had tumor on it removed. Remember elated cortisol levels also contribute to bone loss. @gpt
