I'm a 38 yr old female with Cushings Syndrome.

1 year ago my PCP found an adenoma on my right adrenal gland.  I was sent to the endocrinologist with further testing and final have a surgery date in two weeks to remove the gland and tumor.  It is fantastic to finally have an answer to so many symptoms!

I believe this tumor started around 2002 and since I have gained 55 lbs, borderline diabetes, high blood pressure, infertility, anxiety, soo fatigued and just not myself!  I'm looking forward to the surgery and hope for a quick recovery.

Since the other adrenal gland is non functioning.  I will have to take hydrocotisone until it starts up again.  Until then, I'm taking my multi-vitamins, b complex, and found this oxyfresh product called Prymoria that seems to keep me more calm and less heart palpitations!

I'm so glad I found this website and am open to chatting... all the best!
