Howdy Susan!
Do you know any GOOD doctors in Tulsa, OK that treat Cushing's? I've been experimented on by so many doctors, for so long, that I don't want to be anyone's "Guinea Pig". I've got an excellent Rheumatologist in Tulsa that helps me a lot, but hasn't had any suggestions as to what could help. Is there any treatment for Cushing's that is brought on by steroids? The only treatment that I've ever heard of is for the Cushings' in regards to the tumor, and that the only treatment for that is surgery.
Thanks a bunch for your message. It sure is a blessing to know that there are others that deal with this kind of disease. Until this year, I never knew anyone else that had Cushing's, and I've learned a lot from everyone here on the board, and I really appreciate all of them.
Love and Hugs,
Lori
