Hi Rachel, yes I am seeing an endocrinologist. Having a repeat cortisol blood test in 6 weeks time and a further one 6 weeks after that before they decide whether to go ahead with another synacthen test. The fatigue is unbearable, not a usual tiredness but my whole body and mind is tired, limbs feel like lead and an effort to find energy to do anything

Sure they will get it sorted out. Xxxx

How big was your tumor? Curious what your symptoms were? Thanks

Tumour was 6cm. Symptoms were weight gain, difficulty breathing, anxiety, hypertension (admitted to hospital twice with hypertensive crisis), chronic fatigue. Removal of adrenal gland seems to have resolved hypertension, and anxiety but still suffering with chronic fatigue

HI, when did your pain start?

nh_user_1132395 · 23 February 2018 12:43

Just a few weeks before it was found!

Rachel.....can you share what your symptoms were before you discovered the tumor?

nh_user_1089478 · 25 February 2018 07:10

Hi No symptoms really that jumped out I didn’t have any Cushing or anything. I would say I was tired and I had quite bad ibs bloating and my stomach always felt full. Obviously that was the 15 cm melon sized tumour! X
