A family member had cushings and her body bloated up so much until her skin had terrible stretch marks. Her skin always looked really tanned, which I understand is due to the illness.She had to have an operation to remove her pituitary gland. Her life has been totally turned round. She has gone back to the attractive woman she was and loves life. She still has to take hormones and some other tablets and has to take care if she gets a cold but she lives life to the full. I'd just like you to know that there is hope!
