Cushing's Info

hello all!!  im a 23 year old female, married with a beautiful 6 year old daughter.

One day i was online looking for a cause for the "hump" on the back of my neck, which ive had since i was 12 or 13.  i found out its called buffalo hump and cushings came up when i searched buffalo hump.  As i read the symptoms i started to cry because i knew i had this.

i have the weight gain in the mid section and upper back, stretch marks, very irregular periods and infertility,( me and my husband havent used protection in the  5 years we've been together and no pregnancy) terrible anxiety and headaches, i cant work because of the anxiety and im always feeling like crap, i would be unreliable.

my blood suger is high, ive been using my husbands meter to check it,  ive caught it as high as 178 before, but its usually around 130 or 140.  i have high blood pressure and high cholesterol which a doctor tried putting me on medication for but i wont take it because i dont want to just treat the symptoms, i want to get better.

unfortunatly i dont have any medical insurance so im not able to see an endo.  most days i feel like this is it, because i cant get help with no insurance and no money.  its very frustrating, and i know if i dont get help this might kill me, but what can i do?  maybe with our tax refund i can get seen  : )  but if anyone had any advice id love to hear it!!   Thanks!!
