Another example is Wylie - he has HAC/Cushings (the umbrella disease term) -- but the type he has (out of Typical, Atypical, and Pseudo...and you could toss Iatrogenic in there too) - is Atypical Cushings.
It also explains how the U of Tenn can tell you exactly which intermediate steroid is causing the issue in Pseudo-Cushings... Typical, Atypical, and Pseudo-Cushing's Disease: Diagnosis and Novel New Therapies |
I suppose I am phrasing it incorrectly. What she means is full out cushings that requires treatment. His is cosmetic.
I will definitely read that article later. I have a bunch of things I need to do today. I have procrastinated long enough.
