What can I do to help myself manage Cushing’s syndrome?
- Look after your general health, eat well, and take regular exercise. However, because bones may weaken, avoid high impact exercise or sports that involve falls,
to reduce the chance of a bone break.
- Ask your doctor if you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet. These may help strengthen the bones.
- Give up smoking. This decreases the chance of having problems with surgery.
- Don’t drink too much alcohol.
- Make sure you take the full course of any medicines that your doctor may give you.
- Do go back and see your doctor if any of your symptoms worsen.
- After pituitary surgery, if you feel sick or suffer fl u-like symptoms, do contact your doctor.
