I don't know what type of doctor you have been seeing, but I would recommend finding a good endocrinologist. I don't know much about Cushings, but I did look into it a bit because I recently had blood work that showed that my prolactin level was high. My doctor is having an MRI done to make sure that I don't have a tumor on my pituitary which can cause prolactin and testosterone levels to be high.

Since you have all of the symptoms of Cushings, except for the cortisol, you might want to find another doctor and see if you can get more answers, tests, etc.

Best of luck, Brenda
