                        I'm a 47 year old Mom of 2, who's been dealing with this for 10 yrs. before diagnosis---and 2 yrs. since diagnosis. I have piles and files of info. I've gathered from various sources about Cushing's & the many treatments for it---dexamethasone is an artificial cortisteroid. It's mostly used short-term just to help distinguish pituitary adenoma as the cause of Cushings.  If you E-mail me I'll send e-mail attached copies of what I have about it.  Self education is so crucial to dealing with this nightmare. It's so diverse, and personalized !  My e-ddress is A2ns1E@aol.com
