the journey of a Cushing’s survivor

cort stim test today

I really, really dread having a cortisol stimulation test. I know this test is the only way to see how well my body is recovering and if my adrenal gland is starting to produce at a normal level. The clinic where I have the test done also serves patients who are receiving chemotherapy and other various treatments. It’s so drepressing. When you walk in, you can feel the gloom. I know that’s horrible to say. These people are there getting treatment to save their life. But these people are really sick (the place kind of smells like death) and it freaks me out to think I was once just as sick.

More than anything I look forward to getting the test results back. I’m feeling better than I’ve felt in years and I hope it’s reflected in my results. When I see my endocrinologist, I can finally say I feel good, really good. I do feel like the worst is behind me and everyday my body gets a little stronger.

Now if I could only do something about these damns stretch marks…
