I have had very bad reactions to steroids in the past. I took them for an unrelated problem...(years before the LOCAH diagnosis.) They aggravated my diabetes, caused cataracts and bone problems. I also get what’s called steroid psychosis. The doctors don’t understand why my body reacts to prednisone the way it does. I had a ct scan earlier this year and the adenomas were about 5cm. I am so tired and sore. I can’t seem to get warm. I don’t know if it’s the cold winter, part of LOCAH, or some other problem. I just feel like wrapping my self in one of those "cuddle up blankets" till spring. As far as functioning, I guess I am functioning at what is normal for me. Do you know what is the percentage of LOCAH women that get adenomas? I haven’t seen too many people mention this complication. I do see an endocrinologist. They seem to be as discouraged as I am.
