Hi

in 1999 i was diagonsed with graves and was treated with Radioactive iodine.

So i currently take 100 mg of thyroxine.

in 2014 i felt unwell.

i had an appointment with an endo specialist who recomended a 24 hr urine test and 11pm saliva test, which both came back normal.

i have quite a lot of cushing symptoms like weight gain around my trunk,buffalo hump,anxiety, depression,forgefull ness,no moon face but weight around my neck and sleep apnea.

i spoke to another specialist today who said excess hair is also a sign of which i dont have.

He has agreed to do a overnight dexamethasone suppression test to hopefully rule cushings in or out. But his view is that i probably havent got cushings.

Any views advise would be great
