I have been all over the Internet and this web site says this, that web site says that, blah blah blah. I want to know real symptoms from real people. My doc also says he's not sure if its cushings or PCOS only because I had a scan done in February that showed no sign of a tumor. Could I just be in the early stages? This whole thing has my head spinning. I know I cant diagnose myself but I want to at least have an understanding of what Im facing and how I can deal with it until the doc gives me a defanant answer. So what are your symptoms? Some things I can do to help with energy? And any good doctors you may know of in my area?

" It is very easy to look on the web & see a lot of things that it may be.
I guess I was dx with cushings simply from the moon face, & because of long time use of cortisone from teenager for excema & more recent for ms. They have never checked me for a tumor at all.
Dont know if this helps you at all. "
