Yes. I did have a negative MRI. Also, I have OK 24-hour cortisols (40), but have DST non-suppression and high evening salivary cortisols. But you are right - TMS has been an excellent treatment for me; with remissions of 6-8 weeks every time I receive it. I should be going back for DST suppression tests and salivary cortisol checks to see if it has changed those back towards normal during the time I am feeling depression-free. It has been reported to do that when it is successful- and I would like to know.
I wish you the very best during your December work-up at NIH. I hope they rule out all those rare tumors, and also help you develop the best treatment plan for yourself. I wonder whether they will point you towards Mefipristone. Please keep us informed.
