Hi My name is WENDY from New Zealand ...I am 57 yrs young...I am a nurse.....it was once suggested by mail to my GP that I may have episodae cushings...and that it would be intersesting to take 24 urine specs for cortisol levels over a period of time....this was never done..I only became aware of these when I asked for a copy of all my notes as I was moving to Australia.....
My symptoms I believed robbed me of my former self.....
I stopped menstruating at 45yrs old....my weight would fluctuate wildly..sometimes by 10 to 15 pound... at one point wighing in at 100 kgs......and for no apparent reason losing weight as much as 4 -5 kgs......my happy out going approach to life would become sad.lifeless with a blunted facial affect.....heat intolerance...low energy...poor sleep...high blood pressure.
I have had the unusual presentation of supraclavicle pads.....of no suspicious origin...
I have always managed to work but sadly these changes took their toll on my personal life....I remain optimistic.with the support of loving family and friends.....cushie helper I truly feel that my condition occurs in cycles.......
I await your thoughts....sincerely Wendy
