Hi! I am not diagnosed with Cushings and all my testing yields standard results, therefore my endocrinologist and pcp have ruled Cushings out. My only outlier is 17OH Progesterone… I am concerned because my endocrinologist completed this lab and it was 238, my PCP completed the lab 7 months later and it was 328. My symptoms seem to cycle … I am struggling. The invalidating gestures and medical gaslighting make me feel insane. Anyone have any insights from their diagnosis journey ? Does anyone else’s symptoms seem to cycle ? My highs I have anxiety, tachycardia, chest pain and pressure, muscle twitching and insomnia to name a few. My lows I have depression, chronic fatigue muscle weakness and paresthesia throughly my body. I KNOW this is not solemnly mental .. but I also acknowledge my mental health is affected and a symptom of whatever my disease state is. I’d appreciate connecting with anyone on s similar journey.

@Ashley_W thank you ! I’ve charged doctors plenty … I’m on a waitlist for a vipmed doctor and I’m considering a natural path… they are all private so making sure I can afford one is important. Thank you for your words of encouragement and support ❤️

I’m so sorry you’ve experienced being invalidated and gaslit. It’s so difficult and traumatic and doesn’t help improve health in any way! I found a lot more help with naturopathic practitioners and DO’s vs MD’s. Don’t be afraid to find a new team that supports you. It’s your body, your experience, and you’re the one who has to live with it all ❤️
