So. Tired.

It's been a little over 6 weeks since my surgery and I feel like I'm just getting more and more tired as the days go on.  I can't function on anything less than 10 hours of sleep, and I am still having trouble getting to sleep before 2 or 3am (sometimes even later!).  The sleeping a lot doesn't help fix that problem either.  I have tried a few days to make myself get up early but find myself extremely nauseated and having to lie down again.

I am going back to work in less than 2 weeks and although I'm excited to get back to a routine and have some purpose, I'm dreading the actual WORK part of it.  It's not like I'm going back to a desk job with 9-5 hours!

I am seeing a cardiologist on Friday to try and figure out what's going on with my heart.  I have a feeling it's probably related to everything else going on and my body trying to adjust to it's new "normal", but we're being safe and exploring other options too.

One of the craziest things since surgery is how much salt I have been eating - and yet I have low blood sodium levels!  I have been craving salt AT ALL TIMES - I think I eat about 2 jars of pickles a week.  I have to have my sodium levels checked again next week after taking salt tablets for a few days to see if that helps.

I'll try to remember to take some pictures this week to compare the before Cushing's, before surgery, and now.  I haven't lost that many pounds but I've definitely noticed my face shape and neck coming back. I can even feel my collarbone which has been hiding for a few years!

Talk About the Sh*t you Don't Want to Talk About

I haven't updated this blog in a very long time.  I actually deleted a ton of posts while I was applying for social security disability. I posted about Cushing's Awareness day earlier this week on facebook, so I guess I'm in a sharing mood.

Anyway, for anyone who even reads this, I was watching a documentary on Netflix about a teenager with anorexia and mental illness who found meaning in her life through yoga. (It's called I Am Maris). It's kind of the reason for this post.

To start - let's go back to June 2018. My grandmother died.  She lived a wonderful long life, but it was especially hard on me.  She was the reason I got out of bed every day, my best friend, and so much more. I actually don't remember how I got through most of the summer.

In the span of two weeks at the end of August, my mom turned 60, we went on a family vacation to the vineyard, my best friend got married, and I wanted to kill myself.  Yeah, you read that right. The day after return…

The Challenges of Getting a Diagnosis

I have been asked about this so many times, and talk about it a lot, whenever someone asks me about Cushing's.  So many people have the same experience - KNOWING you have Cushing's, and seeing 5, 10, 20, or more doctors over the course of many years before you officially have a diagnosis.  I would say this is one of the most common links I have with other "Cushies".  We all fought for a diagnosis, heard we were just fat and depressed, waited with hope after every test, until a day came when one test came back high, or a brain MRI showed a tumor in the pituitary gland.

I think the reason I haven't written about it is because it's one of the hardest things to sit down and spend time on.  It's painful, and of course, I can't help but wonder what my life might be like today if I was diagnosed sooner.  Would I have needed an adrenalectomy?  Or for that matter, a second pituitary surgery? Would I have as many health issues after Cushing's?  It's ha…

Cushing's Awareness Challenge - Day 23 - The Diagnosis and Treatment Process of Cushing's Disease

For many people with Cushing's it takes months, years, or even decades before finally getting a diagnosis and help.  For me, it was 5 years from when I thought I had Cushing's until my endocrinologist told me I did indeed, have Cushing's Disease.

Once you read about Cushing's and think it sounds just like you, here's what you will have to do to get rid of the excess ACTH or Cortisol source

1. Find a reputable endocrinologist that other people with Cushing's have had good luck with.  You can find a list on Cushing's Help HERE.  You can also ask someone that has been diagnosed on the Cushing's Help boards or on the Facebook group which doctors they see.

2. Make and appointment, and be patient!  Sometimes the endocrinologist has to do multiple tests over a period of time, and those results can take a while to come back.  Some tests to expect are 24 hr urine free cortisol tests, midnight salivary tests, dexamethasone suppression tests, or random/midnight se…
