Despite the efforts of my Gp and myself it was not until I watched a Doc Martin episode that I realised what I had thought were personal problems were actually symptoms.  The symptoms were

excessive hairiness

excessive sweating

After these symptoms were added it became clear that I had Cushings.

    Hi Vicky,thanks for that.Yes I will keep in touch.You sound as if you've been through the mill too.I'm also on Escitalopram for depression, and Co-codamol and Diazepam for pain.I'm on Warfarin for life,having had 3 DVTs,and have a metal filter in my Inferior Vena Cava to stop movement of clots to vital organs.Having had all the DVT problems, I then found out that I'm positive for Factor V Leiden mutation,which means I'm more prone to getting blood clots.On Warfarin,it also means I have very little choice in painkillers I'm allowed,and unable to have anti-infammatories at all.It seems most drugs affect the Warfarin too.

    Thank goodness for these forums.Sometimes it's just good to get things off your chest!
