Cushing's Info

I am a 28 year old female American living in Tokyo with my (super understanding!) Japanese husband.  I am a lifelong vegetarian who is committed to what little health I was born with ;) and to getting to the bottom of these problems and getting well!

I have 2 cats who, unfortunately, cannot join us in Japan until we find animal-friendly accommodations.  I miss them every minute and feel that I would be a little healthier if I could hold them!  As someone who is in the scientific field (I am a research technician and would have gotten my PhD had it not been for my steady decline in health)

I can honestly say that I just want to be informed about what is going on in my body and that I will hopefully be a good advocate for more research into rare illnesses.
