That was such a good post of yours with the references: I've just now had time to look at them. The study of mefipristone didn't include lots of things we'd like to know- like how long the effects last, and exactly what happens with the cortisol. My endocrinologist says that it has to be considered as a short-term treatment, which will get the cortisol down well, but probably won't keep it down; for that, we'd have to have a different plan, involving ADs.

He said that in the 1980's he was able to obtain enough of mefipristone to treat some Cushing's syndrome patients, both men and women, for periods as long as a year, without much in the way of side effects, but this is just not possible to do now.

Keep posting as you find out things!
