Kim, pituitary bio
smaller text tool iconmedium text tool iconlarger text tool icon

I, like most of you have been feeling pretty crummy for about three years now.  I have been to 4 doctors who tell me to eat less, excercise more and never really pay attention to what I am telling them (buffalo hump, fatigue, feeling like you have been hit by a mack truck, tired but can't manage to sleep, acne, stretch marcks, hair loss on the head and extra elsewhere, water retention - all this with a pituitary tumor and high cortisol!  Really?  You don't want to keep testing me for Cushing's? One test is negative and I'll see you in six months - AHHH!).

I have finally decided that I am going somewhere that hopefully knows what they are talking about - I am going to Cedars Siani in LA - they have a pituitary center and I am hoping that they can help.  Has anyone gone there?  They are my last hope as of right now - I don't know what else I can do...I am 27 and shouldn't feel like this.

Note: Kim has not authorized her email address to be added, so please add comments to this bio below.
