Question: I have been cured from Cushing’s for quite some time and my memory and quick recall for facts is back as good as ever, but I am still slower in doing things, make more mistakes than I used to, and have trouble “multi-tasking”. Does anyone know what causes this and will it ever return to normal?

Answer: Thinking processes depend upon optimal brain biochemistry. We have evidence from studying patients with Cushing’s after their cure, that several measurable biochemical parameters take time to fully normalize. During the recovery period, there are indications that the speed of the thinking process is impaired.
