Cushings after surgery
I’m feeling hopeless.
I had my surgery to remove my pituitary tumor over a month ago and my symptoms are still present, physically worse than before.
Unlike what was expected from the doctors, my levels didn’t completely plummet and stayed within a normal range. My labs 2 weeks post op showed that my levels were higher than when I left the hospital, yet still in normal range.
1 month Post-Op MRI comes back completely clean, yet I have still yet to lose a pound, my joints hurt more than before, and all the textbook symptoms are still there.
I feel so useless in this disease. I’m tired of the “diet & exercise!” When I am super active and eat very well. The tumor was supposed to be the problem, and I was probably told that having issues with both the pituitary and adrenals are highly unlikely. I feel like I’m doomed to live like this forever.
