Hi Jessica,
I was in the University of Iowa Hospital, in Iowa City. I shouldn't really complain, as the doctor was able to restore my eyesight!! For that I am extremely grateful.
I have been dealing with all of these other symptoms now for a little over two years! I hardly ever leave my house anymore, I have no desire, and I'm usually just too tired. Actually, I sometimes wonder, why I even bothered with the surgery if I'm not able to enjoy life. Of course, then I think of my two kids and that thought leaves quickly!
I didn't realize you could get rid of Cushing's. I assumed that once you had it... you had it. I guess I thought that you could control it with medicine, but not be cured of it. I'm still a "rookie" at all of these pituitary disorders, etc. but I'm sure I'll learn.
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that you are on your own, �so to speak" with your family not believing in your symptoms. It sure is a good thing to have groups like this where you can talk to other people with like experiences!
