Nah, just kidding. Wonder how they'd like turn about treatment (by fugly female types)?

Yes I could handle not working on full pay too. I like to change male Doctors as often as possible. Man handling variety!

Thanks WC, I have a pal who used to do work with the stats group of Cdn Inst. of Health Research--he said that their data showed bipolar as hard to identify, guess that's why--and that depression is usually id'd first. Not sure that they have the bipolarity under control yet...still have shopping sprees but nowhere near as bad as they were. But thanks for thinking of me and am VERY glad that you're hooked up in a group.

That's excellent.

How are YOU feeling???

I'm annoyed about Cushings---had every one of the damn symptoms. Coincidence I guess --but everyone of them??

Bdogg, I sure share your frustration and wonder if the normal levels are set too low? As you can seee from my response to WC, I had every damn symptom that I found on Google, except for the 'gold standard'. Freaking annoying. I gained 80# in a year and lost half my hair. That is not normal. Grrrrr I hear ya lady. We should keep in touch. I bet 10 minutes after we croak they figure out that something was wrong with the machinery lol.

Raven what are the odds???? What's a PCP? Here in Ontario there are no doctors to be had, about 20% of us don't have md's at all. I'm sick of looking for one. might just give up looking, this is nuts. What're the odds of losing 3 in a row???

Hey Bridg,

Have a few free moments on the computer so I thought I'd stop by to say hi. I responded to the comment you left at my place yesterday. Glad you got the Cushings test done at last and that you have a definitive answer now.

I was in Depression Group yesterday and the facilitator said that it often takes 10 years for BiPolar to be properly diagnosed because people don't go to the doctor when they're feeling good. I thought of you when this came up. I hope you're taking care of yourself

Love and hugs,

WC.

Woah, Bridge! It's been awhile since I've visited...

Woah, Bridge! It's been awhile since I've visited, and how interesting to read and see that we've both been tested for Cushing's recently.

My levels came back within "normal" range, which is EXTREMELY frustrating, because most of the time I still feel like crap, and nobody can tell me why I've inexplicably gained 20# in the past two months and have horrid acne--and I've always had near-perfect skin.

So, we're going to try my levels again in a month or so, and I'm researching other hormonal disorders that have the same symptoms I'm going through. Frustrating!

i really hate it when you have to change doctors ....
