Cushings? Low vit D?

Hi everyone,

I just need somewhere to voice my concerns.

I have a CKD called FSGS which was diagnosed in 2011.

In 2016 I had a hemithyroidectomy. Prior to this I had been feeling lousy, lethargic, depressed, anxious, weight gain etc, I hoped that the op would be the solution to my problems and I would feel great. 2021,I have been out of work for 2 years due to depression and anxiety, and my prior complaints have not gone. I have had a recent test for cushings as I had the vast majority of symptoms, with the fat hump, purple stretch marks, abnormal bruising. No 24hr urine results back yet, but bloods show normal cortisol and low vitamin D. I just don't want to be fobbed off, I'm 33 and feel like a 90 year old. I just don't feel "right". I'm worried my CKD is worsening hence the Vitamin D results, which has happened before. I just feel like a big useless lump.
