daughter with a problem

[Guest guest]

I was just speaking to my sister in law and spoke to her about this

condition with the daughter. She had just read an account of a lady who has

the

very same symptoms as your daughter. A tumor was found on her pituitary gland.

It was causing the pituitary to put out too much cortisol. She had the oil

on her skin so bad and coming off her head down into her eyes. My sister in

law said it might be on the Discovery Health.com\Cortisol Also try looking

up Cortisol. This woman actually got busy and found her own diagnosis and

got help. Her cortisol was 190, whatever that means. My own niece has

something similar in fact it sounds the same. This is why my sister in law is

looking for what is wrong with her daughter.

I wonder if Jeff could do a better job speaking of this than I can.

 

My daughter, age 26, is located in Germany with her husband (Army).

Before she left the states she was diagnosed with a bi cornuate

uterus. She found this out because she was trying to get pregnant and

was having irregular periods. She also started developing a lot of

hair on her face and chest, and significant weight gain.

The Army doctors did blood and urine tests for irregular hormones and

thyroid, and all tests came back clear.

Since she has arrived in Germany (January 07), she has been to the

emergency room 4 times because her husband thought she was bleeding to

death (she will go a week where she can't even go out because her flow

is so heavy). Her periods last 3-4 weeks. She has now lost 40% of the

hair on her head, while continuing to grow it in all the places it

shouldn't grow on a woman. She works out every day at the gym or runs,

yet she gains 5-7 pounds a month. She eats no junk food, cut out all

excess sugar, and cooks from scratch.While as a teenager, she was

prone to breakouts, she now has to take two showers a day because she

says she is " dripping oil " and her face, chest, and back is suffering

severe acne. On top of that, while losing her hair, she also has small

sores on her head.

All tests were redone in Germany, and they can not figure out what is

wrong with her.

She is absolutely miserable, and it is beginning to take a toll not

only on her self image, but her marriage also.

If anyone could help guide us to where she could go for help, it would

be immensely appreciated. Conventional medicine is not helping.

Thank You for Listening,

Linda P

That's Cushings Disease/Syndrome, and it is very serious, and FAR too

often doctors only know how to treat the symptoms and this disease

goes undiagnosed. Actually there is only a handful of doctors in this

country who are able to diagnose this disease, and even fewer who can

treat it. My sister had to go to Johns Hopkins for actual diagnosis

and then surgery. A cure depends on surgery to remove the tumor.

Anytime a tumor is in the pituitary gland or adrenal glands, pumping

massive amounts of cortisol, it's called Cushings Disease.
