I don't have it but I worked for 20 years at the major Boston hospital that literally wrote the book on treating Cushing's.I see you're in Alabama so you're not *that* far from Atlanta,New Orleans,Nashville or Houston.All in all when diagnosing and treating diseases like that the best care is found at major hospitals/medical schools.Emory in Atlanta,Ochsner in NO,Vanderbilt in Nashville and Baylor in Houston are the places I'd be considering although travel of that sort can be difficult.

I know you didn't ask for "advice" but....

Good luck regardless.

Live in Huntsville, but have been using the doctors affiliated with the Kirklin Clinic at UAB. Am seeing a nationally known and often published neurologist there (made the appointment a couple of months ago for something different, but probably related)

Thanks again. We are about 90 miles from Vandy. May end up going there if I can't get answers from UAB. I have not felt well since returning from Iraq in 2010 and am feeling progressively worse. Our regular physician wasn't reliable (had her own health and family problems). Have been seeing a PA for the last year and a half. Problems have progressed past his skill set. Finally able to get a new PCP physician who is associated with UAB in Huntsville. An internist whose creds look impressive. First visit went well. We'll see.
