The Dr., who told me he had seen many "Cush patients", and answered all the questions I had researched to ask to my satisfaction, said he had no reason to believe that Tino's illness was adrenal-based. So.....I'm going to wait on the next step, but keep all this in the back of my mind. Thanks again for being here for support and great information! I really appreciate it, and so does Tino
I'm wondering if I should just request the inital cushing's blood test done too when he gets the other blood draw???? Is it a blood test or urine test? Not that it matters, but just so I know what to ask for.
