New Message on Pituitary Chat Now You See It, Now You Don't Reply   Recommend Message 8 in Discussion From: Chipper Thanks for all of your replies.  They did continue with my testing at OHSU that week.  Dr. Ludlam called me about a week later and said that two of my tests were high but not enough to be diagnostic.  I am having to do more 24 hour UFC's, midnight salivaries, and blood draws for cortisol and ACTH.  He did state that he and another doctor looked at my previous 4 MRI's (they had the film there) and there was definitely something there before.  Now, of all things, having a dynamic MRI, which should show most tumors, it didn't show up!  He did say that he saw two other places on the films that were suspicious to him.  What can I say, I've been backwards all of my life and I've always done things the hard way!  <laugh>   I am very glad that I went to OHSU and saw Dr. Ludlam and his assistant Chris.  The people there are wonderful and it is a great hospital!  I will just have to keep testing until I get a diagnosis.  Dr. L. told me that he is 80 to 85% sure that I have cushings, we just have to catch it in a high phase!  The thing that I like about Dr. L. is that he did not dismiss me as I had been done by so many other doctors in the past.  He assured me that we will keep working, get a diagnosis and get me on my way to being well again!  Praise the Lord!!!
