Hello Maryann and thank you for your quick response! I have many of the symptoms of Cushings but an endo who is adamant I am fine. I'm 30 years old and sleep far too much! I tend to have to drag myself out of bed. I'm really just wondering if it is possible to still have Cushings (of either variety) despite having a blood test from a 48 hour test come back as boarderline normal. I know it sounds daft but these symptoms seem to fit me. My cortisol levels have been high but despite three high test results the fourth one that was normal-ish is the one they are going with. Yet when I asked why there were three false positives my Dr could not answer. I will deffinately ask to see someone else as the last consult I had she left the room three times to ask the consultant! Anyway I guess I was just wondering if I could have Cushings and have my cortisol level suppressed by taking 48 hours worth of dexamethasone tablets!?!
