Cushing's disease

[AmandaPanda36]

Ok,, I was wondering if any one else has had similar test results,, I went in to see my doctor and she  told me she thought I had Cushing's,, due to my rapid weight gain, buffalo hump, and my bloodwork,, I guess my Cortisol was High at 26.5 ( A.M) and high Glucose 105, low calcium, low protein and low red blood cell count. All done at 8 AM after 12 hour fast. so,, I was wondering if any one else had similiar test results and or symptoms and was it indeed Cushing's. All feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Laura,, no,, she sent me to a Endo whom I met today,, I am not happy with her though. She basically did not answere any of my questions or listen to any of my symptoms. She said she doesnt agree with my Doctor because I dont have serious stretch marks or moon face lol I have gained 40 pounds in a year with no diet change and before that ,,I gained 70 in 6 months! I have a buffalo hump as well, and many other symptoms,, as well as the high Cortisol,, she said she thought I was having hormone issues from becoming overweight. I said,, no,, I am overweight cause of a underlying issue that we need to address,, I am taking the Dex test tonight though and we shall see. she didnt order the 24 hour though,, should I make her?? as for the Calcium and other issues,, I see my primary nest week,, lets hope she is more informative,, and doesnt just think I am fat lol

You will need further tests done....next step is usually a mexadethasone supression test after the 24 hour urine catch.
Did your doctor also look further into your low calcium, protein and red blood cell count?
