Oh geez, still nothing conclusive huh? I'd like to think it's only hypothyroidism...but then in the back of my mind, I'm wondering but what if?
I myself went through testing for Cushing's...and it was after a bout of subacute thyroiditis/T3 toxicosis...after my thyroid finally burnt itself out and I was put on replacement therapy. I kept waiting to feel better, my test results were better, but I still felt awful. But then after a long while...my body figured it out...started feeling better...and of course there was no diagnosis of Cushing's. Sometimes, even though blood test levels are improved, it still takes awhile for the body/brain to realize it.
I really, really do wish Wylie all the best in the world...I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
