hello im new here tryinto get answers and as much infomation as i can

i guess it started about 3 years ago when i had my depo shot after my daughter was born but after the three months i didnt take any more shots but i wasnt having any more periods te dr said it could take ayear to 2 years for my body to go back to normal and that was in 2008 its 2011 and the dr was still doing test

ive had ultrasounds but i didnt have pcos and every dr that i had seen just said i was fat and needed to lose weight but i didnt ea alot and tried to lose it i cant een run without my body acheing myback be hurting so bad and i have no enrgy along with that fact im still not having a period the only way i hav one is if they give me provera for 5-10 days so about march i went to see a no gyno and he looked at me and asked me a few questions about my strech marks my my facial hair and the fact my stomach is so big

he did some searching then told me he thinks i have a tumor which is called cushings disease and thats why im not havinga period or cat get pergnant and the reason why i had gained  70 lbs in less than a year and 7 lbs in a week

he ran a blood test and it was really high i think it was a acth or something like that i had to do it in the morning. so now im here trying to learn more about this before anything else

i would love some advice or anything its real stressful

I had surgery about a month and a half ago to remove a tumor on my pituitary known as Cushing's Disease :lol: . Recovery will be long as my Dr.s need to balance hormones and stuff. The body pain is gone though and I feel good. The important thing to know is there is treatment and there are improvements to be had.
