Great - A Skin Infection

Like I need another thing to treat if they even let me! I went to the dermatologist and during the few minutes she spent with me she diagnosed me with folliculitis - a skin infection. And guess what it happens to be tied very closely with Cushing's. I'm so confused as to what is happening to me - is it Cushing's, diabetes or cancer? This is insane! I knew the skin thing wasn't a normal acne! I could have diagnosed that problem myself. Maybe I should be the doc. So I just left a message with the endo to see if I can take these meds to stop the hair growth and fight the infection. We'll see what she has to say. As far as the derm - she's pretty useless and answered very few questions once she decided what my skin problem was after one look. Maybe it was just very obvious.

God, my blood pressure is through the roof right now! And yes, I still have my headaches. I can't wait till tomorrow to get my drugs back!

UGH!!!
