Post Adrenalectomy

Hi all! I got diagnosed with Cushings syndrome earlier this year after experiencing symptoms for ≈2 years. A CT scan showed I had a ≈2inch tumor on my left adrenal gland. July 30th I had a laproscopic adrenalectomy done with 5 incisions. I ended up needing to stay in the hospital 3 nights due to the pain.

Since getting back from the hospital I have had pretty much no energy and I’m nauseous ALL. THE. TIME. Eating is so difficult because I just feel sick all the time and nothing sounds good. I thought stopping oxy would help, so I stopped taking it around 4 days ago but I still feel the same. I just feel so weak.

Anyone experience anything similar?

Flooring for high fall-risk family member that’s easy to clean?

Hello! I have a family member that has a severe seizure disorder and is high fall-risk. We currently have carpet but due to frequent accidents on the carpet it needs to be torn out. I’m wondering if anyone has any cushioned floor suggestions that are easy to clean?
We’ve looked into the foam interlocking tiles, but are wondering if there’s anything else out there we’re missing! TYIA :)

I had my first appointment with my Endocrinologist after my doctor referred me and I’m feeling lots of mixed emotions. I’m 25F and have been experiencing the following symptoms:

- Round moon face that’s constantly flushed
- 30+ lb weight gain in the past 1.5 yrs
- Period completely stopped about 1.5 yrs ago
- High BP (averaged 150/120)
- Extreme brain fog / trouble concentrating
- Extreme depression / anxiety
- Mood swings / irritability
- Fatigue / weakness
- Purple stretch marks

My doctor before the one I’m seeing now knew of most of these symptoms and never ONCE brought up Cushings. She instead said it was most likely due to stress, so I felt it was all my fault I was experiencing these issues. I’m currently on THREE DIFFERENT blood pressure medications. I’d never even heard of Cushings until my new provider suggested it, but it makes SO much sense. The endo today said she highly suspects I have it, and ordered an abdominal CT scan, another 24 hr urine test, dexamethasone suppression test, and an aldosterone blood test.
It’s so relieving to know these symptoms could be due to something that isn’t my fault. It’s been absolute hell for me and I’m looking forward to getting answers.

Below are some of my test results from labs I’ve already done. When I saw my results from my 24hr urine test I was SHOCKED. Has anyone else had numbers similar to those? Not sure what I’m looking for, this is all so new to me. Reading others posts on here has been so helpful to me and I’m so sorry you all have to go through this.
