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

I was diganosed with a pituitary tumor in 1997 that was causing my Cushings disease. I had the tumor removed and I am panhyppit now.

I am 48 years old and have been working as a sleep lab tech for the last 6 years. I was on the midnight shift. My body could not keep up with the demands of the job and I would pass out frequently. My husband made me quit my job due to the strain it was putting on me. I am now really depressed as I no longer work.

I currently take Cortef 20 mg , synthroid 125mcg, and I wear a combipatch. I still try to exercise on a daily basis which includes running 5 to 10 miles and biking.

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