Cushings Help is 11 Years Old Today!

 

It's unbelievable but the idea for Cushing's Help and Support arrived 11 years ago tonight. I was talking with my dear friend Alice, who runs a wonderful menopause site called Power Surge, wondering why there weren't many support groups online (OR off!) for Cushing's and I wondered if I could start one myself and we decided that I could.

The first website (http://www.cushings-help.com) first went "live" July 21, 2000 and the message boards September 30, 2000. Hopefully, with these sites, I'm going to make some helpful differences in someone else's life!

The message boards are very active and we have weekly online text chats, weekly live interviews, local meetings, email newsletters, a clothing exchange, a Cushing's Awareness Day Forum, podcasts, Wiki, phone support and much more.

Whenever one of the members of the boards gets into NIH, I try to go to visit them there. Other board members participate in the "Cushie Helper" program where they support others with one-on-one support, doctor/hospital visits, transportation issues and more.

 

Can you halp Wayne feel not so alone with his issues?

I am a long time pituitary patient and have had surgery, and radiation (twice), and currently going through chemo (10 year period). Other than the inconveience of having to go to the Dr. and endless treatments, it really has not been physically bad. Now mentally, it has been a struggle. Even though my family has been very supportive, they do not fully understand the day to day struggles I go through and I have had nobody to discuss my problems with. If you started to discuss your problems, everybody would freak out and want to know if I needed to go to the Doctor. No, I just need someone to talk to, thats all.
