[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 199038"] Terry, I see an endocrinologist at OSU on October 21. I did the research to find the right doctor because each specialty has it's own sub-specialty and I didn't want an endo that specializes in diabetes or thyroid. I found one that specializes in adrenals and pituitary - where Cushing's would come from. Mayo has said they wanted to see me, however they don't contract with my insurance. So, we would have to spend several months trying to get the insurance to approve it, then several more months for the appointment. My GP is trying with the NIH because it is a study so they will pay for everything, including flights and lodging. If I don't get in there (they're only taking 50-100 patients a year - and I'm hoping that if I'm right and see the endo that I won't need to), then we're going to try the Cleveland Clinc. Since they're in Ohio, chances are they'll take my insurance. And while Mayo is the best of the best, Cleveland Clinic is damn good, too. [/QUOTE]
