Cushings Disease - Ketoconazole and Hydrocortisone

[@nateilles5769]

Thank you so much for your videos. So helpful for people going through the same thing. I wanted to ask you about Vitamin D levels. You mentioned this in passing in one of the videos. Were yours chronically low? Mine are very low despite supplementing, so I'm trying to figure out if that is a Cushings thing.

[@Chronicallyyours_]

Yes, mine were always low! Still working on that post op

Why would someone not be in remission after surgery? If they take the tumor out, shouldn’t things slowly return to normal?

[@Chronicallyyours_]

Sometimes they don’t get all of the tumor or the surgery isn’t entirely successful.

@@Chronicallyyours_ Oh ok, makes sense. I suspect that I have cyclical cushings based on all of the research I have done and your videos and my doctor agrees and has given me papers that I’m supposed to deliver to a lab, but I’ve been waiting for the symptoms to come back because I have been feeling fine for the last couple of days. I can’t afford to keep taking test after test, so I’m trying to make sure they catch it in one shot. Thanks for your videos by the way, they are greatly appreciated!

[@Chronicallyyours_]

@@ajgomez254 absolutely!! I talk more about symptoms in some other videos in case that’s helpful as well!
