Mlle,
Thanks for your reply. Next time you go to your doctor take the x-rays in and tell him to show you where they are at. Do you mean sometimes you are on steroids and sometimes not??? I have a benign brain tumor that is post pituitary that caused my adrenals to not work as well. I take cortef to replace lost cortisol, and shrink the tumor. This tumor which was found at 1.7cm is inoperable and not shrunk by radiation. I’m not so much afraid of the tumor as I am the adrenal problem. I’ve had three adrenal crisis since Christmas, and one the prior year. They are no fun. When it first started I thought it was the bad case of the stomach flu and that was not the case. There is a really good web site for people with adrenal problems and that is addison’s.net. The people are good. I have my x-rays of the brain here at my house and I still couldn’t point the tumor out to anyone for the life of me. My doctor’s have showed it to me many of times and I still don’t see it myself. I gave up. I figure they know what they are doing. Well, must go for now. Good luck-Julie
