Got hump?


This dear lady (DL) has had Cushing's since at least 1989, and no one locally took her seriously. She has now been diagnosed and a tumor was found on her pititary by MRI. But look what else shows up on her MRI. Can anyone say that is normal?

DL also has adrenal nodules, hopefully caused by the adrenals keeping up with her high ACTH. She was misdiagnosed with PCOS in 2002. Realizing there was something else going on, she saw several doctors in 2004 and was told she "just needed to eat less and excersise more".
DL is on the way to surgery and hopefully a cure.
