¿Cómo puedo abogar por el diagnóstico eficaz de la enfermedad de Cushing?
Antes de compartir mis preocupaciones, siempre debo tener en cuenta que soy un sobreviviente de cáncer infantil. Osteosarcoma Ahora tengo 19 años y me diagnosticaron a los 11, estoy libre de cáncer desde los 13 años. Me preocupa tener la enfermedad de Cushin, muestro todos los síntomas y busco en YouTube varios videos de diferentes médicos hablando del tema. Gané mucho peso a una velocidad tan rápida a pesar de que estaba muy delgado, no importa lo saludable que coma, comiendo suficientes proteínas, eliminando el gluten y los lácteos, así como el azúcar, siento que sigo ganando peso. Tengo una almohadilla de grasa en la parte posterior de mi cuello y la grasa parece ir a mi espalda y estómago, a veces tengo moretones horribles en los pies, un agotamiento horrible con solo levantar los brazos y mis huesos suenan como si se rompieran mucho. Además de muchos otros síntomas como resistencia a la insulina, un médico notó debido al oscurecimiento de mi cuello, pero se descartó diabetes cuando fui al médico y ella dijo que vio muchos signos de un problema hormonal con solo mirarme, me refirió a un endocrinólogo. Sospeché que el cortisol era alto porque tenía antecedentes de problemas psicológicos, como depresión diagnosticada. Estoy sufriendo y veré a este especialista pronto, pero mis exámenes de laboratorio de sangre generales han sido “normales” antes, he leído por miedo a no ser escuchado por mi médico que los exámenes de laboratorio a veces no muestran niveles anormales de cortisol si el cortisol es no o la condición del mismo no es demasiado avanzada Quiero saber todas las pruebas que necesito hacer para ser diagnosticado y qué alternativas puedo discutir con mis médicos si los resultados de laboratorio son “normales”. Soy consciente de que a veces necesito defenderme. Simplemente no sé cómo expresarlo por miedo a parecer ignorante y, como si supiera más que mi médico, no creo que esto sea así. ¡Solo quiero que mi dolor termine! Creo que lo mejor sería escuchar el consejo de un profesional sobre cómo puedo abordar mejor la defensa de mi salud.

Los síntomas que está experimentando podrían estar relacionados con la enfermedad de Cushing. Es importante discutir las pruebas necesarias con su médico para obtener un diagnóstico preciso. Estas pruebas incluyen una prueba de cortisol en orina, niveles de cortisol en sangre y una resonancia magnética para controlar la glándula pituitaria. Los niveles de cortisol pueden fluctuar, por lo que es posible que se necesiten múltiples pruebas en diferentes momentos para un diagnóstico definitivo. Incluso si las pruebas iniciales son normales pero su médico sospecha la enfermedad de Cushing según sus síntomas, es posible que se requieran más pruebas y seguimiento. Sea abierto y honesto con sus médicos, haga preguntas y exprese sus inquietudes para asegurarse de recibir la mejor atención.

For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.
Female | 33
It is good you are taking care of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pregnancy because of hormone changes. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Check your blood sugar at different times to see how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may need to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

Male | 52
Excessive weight loss and too little sleep are some reasons that could be due to worry, an unhealthy diet, or maybe some other ailments such as hyperthyroidism. It is great to hear that your hemoglobin is within limits and your ECG is normal, yet it is probably useful to chat with your doctor to get an idea about what your dearth of sleep stems from. Don't forget to tell your doctor about all your symptoms and worries, so they can help you understand the best solution to your problem.

Female | 25
No big deal if you skipped your Krimson 35 pill yesterday. Just carry on taking it as normal today. Missing one dose is generally not a major issue with this medicine. If you've missed more than one dose or notice any strange symptoms, let your gynecologist know.

For fluctuating glucose level make sure that he is following up with the doctor and taking medicines on time. He should follow all the lifestyle modifications and walk as well as exercise daily. But it's important to know what medication he is taking for RA. I will advise you to start arms and wrist exercises along with doing yoga stretches every day for the blood flow. If in need of any help, then you can refer this page to find doctors - Diabetologists in Ghaziabad, or let the clinicspots team know if in case you prefer a different city, and additionally I can be reached out to as well.

Female | 24
A prolonged white discharge accompanied by severe fatigue can be concerning. High TSH levels may indicate that your thyroid isn't functioning properly, which could be causing these symptoms. Hormonal imbalances can lead to such symptoms and unusual discharge. It's important to discuss these results with an endocrinologist for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.

Female | 10
Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.

Your TSH is 6.5 which means that you may have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of this could be feeling weak, gaining weight, or getting cold easily. In addition, with a B12 level of only 198, you are also at risk of feeling numb and weak. You might require medicine to fix the thyroid issue while low B12 might call for adjusting your diet or taking supplements.
