A member asked:
Had cushing's twice. radiation after surgeries caused pituitary to disintegrate. at 47, i'm frequently knocked out with infection. how long can i iive?

Many variables: Hi. After all that, is the Cushing's controlled? One would hope, but it's by no means a given. What type(s) of infections are you experiencing? Even knowing your case, it would be foolish for anyone to tell you how long you can live! Make sure your pituitary deficiencies are treated, and that your Cushing's is controlled. See an infectious disease specialist if the infections are recurrent/serious

Hypopitiuitarism: It sounds like you have been in the hospital or doctor`s office quite a bit in your lifetime. The question is pose is complex and would be best answered by your personal physician that knows your intimate medical details. I personally have taken care of patients much older than yourself with similar medical conditions. I believe a big part of a healthy lifestyle is staying mentally strong :)
