Iam 28 years old female.

I have 2 microadenomas. One is prolactine producing and the other one is not known. Doctors are doubting that the other could be producing excess cortisol leads to cushing syndrome. But instucted me a blood test after a month and not now. So cortisol teat is scheduled after a month.

Currently I am taking cabergoline half dosage twice a week for prolactinoma.

I am just curious to know what if after a month cortisol result show that i have cushing disease. Do i have to go for surgery for that. Cant I treat that through medication.

Thanks

      Hi Debs,  I am really interested in what you are saying about Vit D and Calcium.  I was prescribed the Ad Cal years ago as I have a degeberative spinal disease.  I don't think my endocrinologist has ever mentioned what tablets I should be on.  I will ask at my next appointment.  So glad I started this doscussion, great to be talking to other Cushy;s!!
