Wow, you have quite the story to tell! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. It's amazing how you'll be able to help somebody by posting your story. All of your symptoms--the cholesterol level, the pounding heart, your choking on beverages (which is really common with a thyroid disorder), and being unable to sleep and having mood swings--what a mess! I'm so sorry that you've had to endure all of this--it's way more than one person should have to bear. It never ceases to amaze me when I read stories like yours that no one was able to diagnose what was wrong with you, and that you went on for so long like that. You are one strong woman--that's all I can say. And good for you that you've advocated for yourself, especially since you've had your thyroid removed and you're still having all of these symptoms. Something is clearly not right and it's so great that you are addressing that! You should not have to live this this--you just shouldn't. There is no excuse and no reason. I don't know much about Cushing's Disease, although I will ask a couple of our doctor experts if they will give us some helpful information. And I'll come back and post that information, or I'll have them come on and post that to you. Please let me know how you are doing--if you've been to the doctor and what he or she has said, and what tests you've had run for Cushing's Disease. Thank you so much for sharing your story as I know you will help so many other women who have suffered like you have. We just need to get you well--that is the goal. Best in health, Michelle
