Looking for support after Cushings surgery

Hi. I am 47 years old diagnosed with Cushings in October 2021. I had pituitary surgery in November of 2021. I still weaning off of hydrocortisone. This journey has been a roller coaster. I’m hoping to connect with others that are going through or have gone through my situation. Thank you and very grateful to be here.

I'm 3 months post op from having my tumor removed. It was an ACTH secreting hyperplasia. I'm already losing weight and they're tapering me off steroids. The only problem I'm having is I'm just so tired all the time. An intense extreme tired.

Just had pituitary surgery for my Chushing's a month ago and I'm beginning my Prednisone taper. On 7.5mg until tomorrow then switching to 5mg. Super lucky to only be tired and not having any other side effects so far. Will see what tomorrow brings.
