New Message on Pituitary Chat lactating normal prolactin? Living a nightmare! Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 5 in Discussion From: Jess This is my second time with cushing's and I also would prefer to sleep all day rather than getting up and do things. I fall asleep everywhere and anywhere at this point. I have heard of some people that are the opposite though and cannot stop and have insomnia with cushing's. The first time I was diagnosed was in 2000 but I had been with symptoms and complaining to doctors about it for about three years before the diagnosis was finally done, I had a pituitary macroadenoma that was removed in January 2001.   Since may 2003, I was tested again for cortisol levels after complaining for about 4 months because my symptoms had returned. My levels were high, retested and they were normal.....tested again and they were high. Tried a few medications.....symptoms have continued and things are now worse than the first time I went through it. The problem now is that they cannot see a tumor on the MRI. I had a 48 hour dex/CRH supression test and it confirmed pituitary cushing's again this time. No tumor is seen so now I'm probably going to be looking into a petrosal sinus sampling next and the endo is talking about adrenalectomy as well and then maybe radiation to the pituitary gland. We'll see....it has been a long road and I have much more symptoms this time around than the first time I had this.   Jess   View other groups in this category.
