> If your p-doc is willing, why not give mefipristone a try according to the 7-day protocol used at Stanford? Do you know if your cortisol levels are high? it brings them down to normal, although I guess no-one knows whether that's why it works so well. Being a female hormone, the use has to be short, but some of the Stanford patients were male and had no problems. It's been used, very short-term, by millions of women and is considered extremely safe. If you do try it, please let us know!

I may indeed give it a try. I have familiarized myself somewhat with the Stanford study, but have wondered about longer term treatment. Where did you hear that it cannot be used long term because it is a female hormone? My pdoc found a study where it had been used long term in a man with Cushings disease. No, I don't know what long term is in this case.

I'm supposed to have my cortisol levels checked next week.
