I am trying to get in to see the endocrinologist because I feel that I should be tested for Cushings but I have no ins at the moment. The LPN I see did a test for cortisol levels and my night levels came back so high that they siad I must have used some hydrocortisone cream or something during the tests - BUT I DIDN'T!! She wouldn't give me another test but was convinced that I needed to take hydrocortisone pills since my morning levels were low. I took them for one week - couldn't get out of bed and missed the whole week of work.
Also, my testosterone was low but I have lots of extra hair.
All my weight gain is in my middle and upper limbs but my lower limbs at skinny. I wish I could show you the difference it's really weird. It's like the fat just stops at my elbows and knees.
I'm in pain all the time and so tired. My 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with PCOS recently, by the same LPN, and she has insurance so I am going to take her to the endocrinologist to see what they think about her and maybe I can find out something about me this way too. Good luck to everyone. |
