None conclusive. I've seen over 8 doctors in past 10-12 years (all in Bay Area ranging from internal, nutritionist, endocrinologist, neurosurgeon) ... none has diagnosed me with anything. First it was because "I was getting older," Next "I was eating too much salt," "Next eating too much in general," Next, you are diabetic, use $1000 Ozempic shots to manage diabetes."
Thank you for the link. I will add that thread to my list.
The symptoms have been slow to show ... the first one was weight again, then slowly progressing to manifestation of all the other symptoms which correspond to Cushings Syndrome (disease or otherwise). The only lab test that does not match is the 24 hour urine cortisol and the post-Dexamethasone.
Each doctor makes me repeat the same blood tests over and over without ever bothering to really review the history.
Where is Dr. House when you need him?
