Thank you, Cushiemama. I am going back to the doctor in September or October and I will get re-tested. I do have the "hump" or rounded shoulders. I don't have the dark stretchmarks anymore (well, I still do but they aren't purple anymore since I have stayed relatively the same weight for a while.) I still get bright purple spots on my hips that are like blood blisters or maybe the start of a new stretchmark. I'm going to ask about those, too. I did the 24 urine test in '97, but at that time, my symptoms were not as severe as now.
