Sorry have not been on the forum for a while have been feeling REALLY low and dont feel like doing much at all
Need to ask some advice, does anyone on here know anything about Cushings?
I have Hashi's am on 200mcg of Levo now and my Endo has kindly informed me that I have been diagnosed with anaemia plus she suspects I have adrenal issues.
I have recently done a 3 day 24hr urine test plus taken a steriod at 11pm one night to have my blood checked next day to see if I have it.
Looking at the symptoms I may have it but wondered if anyone could enlighten me about it personally?
Thanks in advance x
Looks like no one does know very much
I know a tiny little bit. Cushings is the opposite of Addisons disease. Cushings is when your adrenal glands become extremely overactive.
Both of these are the extreme end of adrenal fatigue, which is common in thyroid patients.
The NHS only address these 2 extremes. If they find your levels aren't quite high enough to be Cushings, then you would probably benefit from self-treating them yourself, as you will probably get no other treatment.
This is probably quite rare for hypothyroid patients. Very occasionally people turn up on the forum with Addisons, but I don't think I've ever heard any member mention having Cushings.
Thats ok! I did wonder weather many would know about it on here as I have tried to research it on HealthUnlocked without much success. But since then I have found a website that has proven useful: csrf.net/
