Cushings is a pituitary disorder that causes an adrenal problem, but they think I also have congenital adrenal hyperplasia. So basically my pit tumor is secreting acth but cortisol is staying normal because of the CAH. But every other adrenal hormone and "adrenal metabolites" is elevated. So according to my endo, spiro will help me by lowering testosterone, but since the adrenal metabolites are still high it won't be perfect. Staying on topicals has helped make up for that.
The initial breakout wasn't bad at all, and like I said my skin was improving at the same time. It stopped after the first month (the same time I got on the pill and switched topicals).
Have you tried Vaniqa for the hair problem? I'm just starting it.
Do you have PCOS? I read spiro can help regulate your periods so they want doctors to prescribe it more instead of relying on metformin alone...
