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

I am a 41 yy female. Officially diagnosed with Cushing's in Feb. 2010.

I had a mis-diagnosis of Adrenal Hyperplasia previously from a previous endocrinologist. Once I found the right endocrinologist who listened to me, I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor 4 mos later.  I had trans-phenoidal surgery on March 7 2011. ( MY NEW birthday!)

My recovery was difficult, I didn't know what to expect and I had no one to turn to. I wished I had seen this site before!

I am now steroid-free. and at my August 2011 appt, just 6 mos post-op. My neuro-surgeon said " You have a VIRGIN brain!"

She's a behind the scenes kind of person, she doesn't ask for much and often winds up on the periphery but despite her own health challenges she gives and gives and gives and has helped thousands of people.
