That's ok about not knowing about Cushing's...it's very rare and a lot of people don't know about it (even doctors scarily enough).

Anyways, regarding the endometriosis treatment...I've already been down that avenue with the doctors sadly and if it IS pseudo-cushing's with birth control as the cause...I can't have any other forms of hormonal birth control (or any synthetic hormones at all really which is what the other treatments for endo are).

So yeah, I've been considering a hysterectomy for awhile (since I've suspected Cushing's for awhile). I know it's a major surgery and recovery time but both my aunt and mom had them (because of endo) and they managed. Plus, I've known for a long time I don't want kids and have been told I likely couldn't conceive even if I did. Scott is fine with that...and we decided that if we changed our minds down the road we would be happy to adopt. So I think that's the best way for me to go. The bloody surgery isn't even a cure, but it would definately go a long way towards making a difference.
