Oh Diane, I wish I could hug you. You so wonderful helping me out. It is truly a G-d send. I love that you are looking at Mayoclinic.com that is one of my favorite resource guides for medical info on the web. I don't have any of the other Cushing's symptoms. Well, I do have fear and anxiety about this mystery condition. I got my Dr really on board this week. I showed him my weighted journal. I take my weight every morning first thing. That morning I weighted 165.5. At 3:00 that afternoon in his office I weighed 170.8. I showed him my food journal. He said, "Well something is definitel wrong." Yea he got it!

I am going to see another ganstroenterologist tomorrow. This one hand picked by my GP.

I have the report of the upper GI. It was unremarkable except for this "axial hiatus hernia, gastroesophageal reflux and Schatzki ring. Otherwise normal." Doc put me on Nexium twice a day. Very strange I had no symptoms of reflux accept for a hoarse voice. Never heart burn and indigestion. Still no symptoms, but the radiologist said the damage was "very bad."

The ultra sound was done to look at both organs and the abdominal cavity. They were thinking perhaps large pockets of fluids? But didn't find anything. They also did and internal looking for something fibroids, cysts, endometriosis. Everything was A-O-K. I suppose the next step is an endoscopy.

The blood tests they have done on me are Thyroid (normal) and Liver (normal).

GP and I are also starting to wonder if it was adrenal glands. What do you think?

All My Best and a thousand thank you's

Ellis
