pain and joy and allow me to "vent" without being judgmental.. MDJunction helped me understand my condition when many did not." (bmac)

tired and gaining weight!

I went on holidays this past July, took extra Cortef in case of stress. Took it too long and put on 10lbs! I didn't know that you should only take it no longer than 3 days. This is now November, can't take it off, and always hungry! Dr adjusted dosage lower because my cortisol levels were too high. I feel better now, but no sign of losing any weight! I have never had to worry about my weight since I got this disease. Anyone else put on weight! Im always hungry and getting frustrated!

Quick Note

Nov 26 2010

for anyone reading these posts, I watched a video on YouTube of GoodMorning America host having proceedure done live- he said it was fine, the prep day before was the worst!

Also watched Dr. Oz have the same thing done, live and he was ok too! So was the woman he went in with to support. My proceedure will put me to sleep so I won't feel a thing.

It was Dr. Oz's show that made up my mind for me since my grandmother died young at 64 with colon cancer. He and the other people made it look fairly easy to do, so here I go!
