Houston - Day 2

I was sooo tired at the end of the day yesterday that I just crashed without blogging.  Ellen, my counterpart for this trip, has gone home for work tomorrow so I am on my own for a day before going home.  So far, I think it's been pretty good and a lot of people have stopped by our booth to talk to us.  We've given out a lot of reading material and diagnostic and testing guidelines, and of course business cards and newsletters.  (My story is in the CSRF newsletter this month!)

I've eaten my fill of frozen yogurt from Merck, who is right in front of us with that machine all day, and have a few stops I would like to make before the end of tomorrow, but I'm not sure if it will be possible now that I'm the only one.

I also got the opportunity to go to a presentation today given by an endocrinologist from Case Western on Adrenal Insufficiency.  The huge room was full, there was not an empty seat to be found, and I was surprised to not learn a single new thing!  They discussed medications and dosing for people with adrenal insufficiency and most of the questions were about changing doses.

I guess it's a good thing that nothing was new, if there were new things I didn't know, I think I would be a little upset that I didn't know that before.

Overall, it was a good two days.  I'm so glad we can help a lot of doctors that have Cushing's patients (a lot of them said it was their first!) and give them information to take home to their patients.

I hope tomorrow is just as exciting as the last 2 days!

Plastic Surgery

When I was 17, I thought about getting a breast reduction.  I was still pretty thin at this point and it bothered me to by bigger clothes just to fit my bust.  I had a hard time exercising and always had back pain and grooves in my shoulders where my bra straps sat. I had a few consults with different plastic surgeons and ended up scheduling surgery for the week before my high school graduation.  I ended up "chickening out" because I didn't want the surgery to have any impact on my graduation, and I hadn't had any major surgeries before.  I started gaining weight due to Cushing's shortly after, so it worked out for the best in the end.

Now, my breast size has gone way down since I've lost weight, and even though they are still bigger than average, they don't get in my way as much and are more proportional to my body. These days, my plastic surgery dream is to have a tummy tuck.  I have a lot of excess skin on my body, especially on my belly, and in a drea…

Cushing's Awareness Challenge - Day 9

The only potentially permanent treatment for Cushing's is surgery.  Whether you have a pituitary tumor, adrenal tumor, or ectopic source of ACTH, most often, you will eventually need surgery.

For me, the first step was a pituitary surgery to try to remove the tumor in my pituitary gland. They went through my nose to access the pituitary gland, which means you have no visible scars after.
I was very nervous heading into the surgery, but didn't have much time to dwell on it, as my surgery was scheduled about a week after my IPSS.  I talked to a lot of people before, about their experiences, and heard vastly different stories from each person.
The only thing I remember from before my surgery was being rolled down what looked like a basement hallway (all concrete), while passing maybe 30 operating rooms.  I saw patients in the hallways on stretchers waiting for surgery, I saw into the small windows in the doors to operating rooms, it was a very scary experience.  Obviously, not ev…

Cushing's Awareness Challenge - Day 4

I have often said, I wish I had cancer instead.  Most people would not understand this sentiment, why in the world would you wish for such a horrible disease?  
It is another common thread tying people with chronic illness together. If my disease was cancer, everyone would know what it was.  I wouldn't be questioned by my boss when I called in sick.  My friends and family would be more supportive.  My doctors wouldn't question my symptoms.
Maybe my life would be easier.
But, maybe this would not be true.  I am not looking to find out.  Chronic illness is lonely.  It seems, from the outside, that cancer is not.  Most people know someone with cancer.  Most people know what cancer involves.  Endless appointments, surgeries, maybe even chemotherapy or radiation.  Cancer is life threatening. Did you know that a lot of chronic illnesses involve all of the same things?  
With Cushing's, a lot of people have multiple surgeries.  I have had 3 directly related to Cushing's, and…
