Cushie Camp Day 5

Here is the conclusion of my trip to Dr. Ludlum's Camp Cushie. I do have one more video from that week to post in relation to Cushing's, but I will have to do that tonight/tomorrow. For now, here is Day 5. S

Cushings and Hair Loss

Just thought I would share what Cushing's can do to your hair. No, not make it blue, but the blue dye shows how blotchy the hair loss is. It isnt typical male pattern baldness. That, and the fact that this is age 25, and it started when I was 13, shows this isnt typical. You can see more on my photo page.

Next Stop: Camp Cushie!

Today, I kicked my PCP to the curb! I haven't told him yet, but the last few days have been THE HARDEST dealing with him. He didn't believe in Cushing's until Friday, then all of a sudden knows everything about it. He told me he would not refer me to Dr. Ludlum for a workup unless I went and got a workup from one of HIS endocrinologists. Knowing him, he would have told them to ignore me and send me back. He refused on all accounts. I mean, obviously, Im just a fat and lazy sack of crap!

But I still need a referral. So Dr. Ludlum sugested I find another doctor and try to just get referall. I decided to go to a doc-in a-box (PrimaCare= ER walk in clinic) and not only were they able to do the referal (CareNow wouldnt) but the doctor I saw is so intrested in my condition, she wants me to update her on it when I get back. If she ever gets her own practice, I will pay her a visit!

We are getting flights now for April 18th and the 23rd.  This is finally hapining.... It hasnt fully sunk in yet....

Next stop, Camp Cushie....
