Where to begin? First of all I do
apologize to those who were reading my blog that I have not kept up
with it. Shortly after my last February entry I went to see the
doctor and they advised me that I was diagnosed with Cushing's
Disease. Since then I've been working hard to make sure I have enough
funds for my leave of absence from work and doing a lot of research
and now recovering from surgery.
To begin it starts out as Cushing's syndrome
and in this link if you go further you'll find the description of
where a pituitary gland tumour, benign can cause Cushing's disease.
This is what I was finally diagnosed with after two MRI tests and
other blood work.
The basics of this to put it simply are
that my pituitary had a growth on it which then in turn caused my
gland to over produce cortisol and other hormones over the course of
who knows how long, we estimate about 6-7 years and therefore caused
my diabetes mellitus type 2 (the diabetes we know to be common
regarding blood sugar), not to be confused with diabetes insipidus
(which I will mention later) among other things such as my weight
gain, migraines, floaters in my vision, etc.
