'Cushing's syndrome results in significant impairment in quality of life. Unfortunately, in the long term this is only partially improved with treatment. The affective and cognitive changes associated with Cushing’s syndrome are particularly slow to resolve, and may not normalize'
I live with a non-functioning pituitary (since an operation in 2005 to remove a tumour causing Cushings disease; http://csrf.net/) - this blog describes my fight to get more action from the doctors and my own personal experiences in daily life, similar to that of Bridget Jones Ha!
About Me
- Lottie4979
- I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.
