mayday

Having many ailments , P M R amongst them and taking 5 mg cortison daily from 2005 ,I went to se a rheumatologist who has said that there is clear evidence of cushings syndrome, I do NOT believe this, the syptoms that I see listed are not relevant to me, ok, am obese and type 2 diabetic but apart from that nothing relevant---my skin is thin thro warfarin/steroids and I bruise easily, as have arthritis have had a" dowagers hump ", have bad sweats/nausea/dizzyness but this is due to the victoza injection for diabetes, but little else .
is there anyone with this and can they tell me more, also has anyone had a misdiagnosis. thanks.

R u sure he wasn't referring the Cushing syndrome due to steroid use? Usually bushings frm steroids mean chubby face, obese ESP stomach arEa, bruise easy, thin bones, dow hump....
I've been on prednisone since1980. I'm finally on 5 mg daily!

Cortison weakens the bones. Check out the Arthritis Foundation wed site, hopefully there maybe info that can help.
