I Have Recently Seen An Endocrinologist For Some Testing. He

I have recently seen an Endocrinologist for some testing. He tested me for Cushing's. I will up load the results on the next page. I have unexplained edema, a rash on my face, arms, legs, shoulders, and a little on my scalp. Also some arthritis and some synovitis in my hands(dx by my Rheumatologist). These symptoms have been going on for about 7 mos. I am diabetic, type 1, for 35 years, have HTN, controlled by meds, have PCOS, have abnormal menstrual cycles(since puberty at age 15). My Rheumatologist is looking at this as well. He started me on Probenecid/Colchicine without success. I had to ask the endocrinologist for the 3rd dexamethasone suppression test and he didn't seem to happy about it. It was not completely normal but he said I did not need any follow up that this was definitely not Cushing's and was not endocrinology related. I am not satisfied. Could you pleas look at the labs and give me some kind of an answer?
