Menopause/PowerSurge

Menopause/PowerSurge

I so enjoyed the interview with Cushing's Help Founder, Mary O'Connor. Jayne, you did a great job! I've had the pleasure of knowing Mary since before Cushings-Help.com became a reality. Mary puts an unusual amount of time and effort into her incredibly informative and invaluable Web site. Mary IS Cushing's Help. If there's any new technology where Mary can spread the word about Cushing's, she'll find it. This new blogtalkradio is another excellent venue where Mary can continue her endless help for those suffering from Cushing's and related disorders. I'm personally so proud of all that she's accomplished, especially when through it all, she's still dealing with her own health issues, but that doesn't stop her! I'm proud to call her my "friend." Keep up the good work, MaryO! Alice Stamm (aka Dearest)

    Interview with Laura

    This interview will take place at 9:00 PM eastern - please note later time! Laura has been struggling since 2007 with various odd things happening to her body. In March of 2009 she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroid. Her bio contains a long list of symptoms she has and she has been misdiagnosed with Obesity, Diabetes, Kidney stones, Depression, MS, Manic/Depressive, TIA, Anxiety - stress, Not exercising enough, Not eating properly, Abusive relationship (due to bruising). In responding to the email confirming this interview Laura wrote: "When I started reading the bio's of people like myself, I started to cry tears of relief that what I may have, is actually ONE real thing. I cannot tell you how happy I was to find your website and I think it is wonderful that so many people who truly understand how frustrating it is to think we are alone, are willing to put themselves out there as beacons of hope for the rest of us. I felt so strongly, that I wanted to add my bio and offer myself for interview. If I can help one person feel a little calmer while they go through this process, I am more than willing. I don't know if I have Cushing's but if I do, it is important to me to reach out to others because the attacks coming from the physical and mental side of this illness, deserve to be exposed and recognized. Even though I am feeling a bit humiliated, reclusive and embarassed because of what it is doing to me."

    Lynn had a left adrenalectomy in 2000. In 2004 Lynn had a Thyroidectomy due to tumor which was malignant on the biopsy, yet benign at surgery. In May 2009 she learned she had a 3mm anterior pituitary tumor. She is a patient of Dr Ted Friedman.

  • Original Air Date:

    Interview with Gail (Dolly)

    Gail was originally diagnosed with Cushing's in 1988. At that time she had a pituitary tumor removed. She was okay for about 10 years and the Cushing's occurred again. Her tumor was removed, as well as her pituitary glands. In 2003, it reoccurred and she had her adrenal glands removed. She is now experiencing all symptoms again and her Endo is puzzled since Gail has no glands, and has undergone radiation. The endo thinks maybe she now has Nelsons Syndrome. It has been a long battle because of the Cushing's, over 21 years, and it has effected her life dramatically.
