Cushing Syndrome, Causes, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment.

[@reneemansini7687]

Worst time of my life before diagnosis! Took 2 years to get it! Gained 80 lbs, moon face, buffalo hump, skin thinning, headaches, sleep disturbances, blood pressure 200/100 ( put on 5 meds, still high)! Was told just getting older 😮 finally diagnosed self with Cushing and demanded testing! Raging Cushings! Large tumor on adrenal gland. Had it removed along with partial kidney removal. Do not give up, keep searching for answers. Have never felt completely cured but tons better!

[@MedicalCentric]

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but I'm glad you advocated for yourself and found some relief. Your perseverance is inspiring.

[@LAFITZ10]

did you ever use Ozempic?

[@rmartinez4165]

I put on 85 lbs in 2 years!!! Doctors keep telling me to lose weight!! I am a wreck!! I have bone loss, excessive fatigue, sweating, insomnia!!! I broke my back last summer because of bone loss!! I have scoliosis!! I kept telling my doctors something was wrong. They kept saying I was over eating & lazy😢 This is inspite of the fact that I have had an adrenal gland tumor for over 5 years!!! They have been gaslighting me!!!🤬🤬🤬 Because of cancer & severe wreck, I have been given large doses of cortisone for the past few years to top it off!! I had a complete meltdown last month, a doctor finally listened to me & diagnosed me with Cushings!!! Hopefully I get the tumor removed soon!!! Your story sounds so much like mine!!!😢😢

[@reneemansini7687]

@@rmartinez4165 it sure does! I feel so bad for you! I made them check me too! We have got to advocate for ourselves! Praying for you, keep me informed!

I am 3 years in remission of cushings syndrome.. if are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned PLEASE get it checked immediately out to eliminate any long term threats

[@AdnanKhan-dg8qt]

What symptoms did u have specifically and how did u get it tested?

[@kehindesobowale8851]

@@AdnanKhan-dg8qt I had lots of tests, I was diabetic, hypertensive and over weight amongst most things, i just had very a vigilant consultant who referred me to a better hospital to get tested and after numerous MRIs and CT scans they found tumour on the pituitary gland, then i had surgery and I've been fine, the only lasting effect is that I'm not as strong as before, but I'm going to the gym constantly to better my fitness.

[@elysianbridgetownaccommodation]

​@@kehindesobowale8851 so it can be missed on first scans? How could you be taken seriously if they don't see it first im worried this is what will happen

[@kehindesobowale8851]

@Elysian Bridgetown Accommodation that's the thing you don't know, I just had a very vigilante doctor who tried different options because they kept upping the dosage of my blood pressure meds, it was almost like the process of elimination, then she just said it might be rare but let me test you for cushings because i was all sorts of meds that weren't helping and she was right.

[@boredinczechia4382]

As someone who has been on heavy steroids for 16 years straight and has a hump i am intruiged

[@stephss]

Omg, is this my solution after 49 years of suffering?

[@juneebennett22]

Wow, me too. My life has been made a mess by this. Doctors are of no use whatsoever at all.

[@annemontgomery3890]

Get your cortisol tested. I've had to go through almost a year of testing before they were able to exclude the other things, like PCOS etc. To be fair, i am in the early stages. Cannot sleep, exhausted all the time, gain weight despite being a low calorie diet (with a dietician) and exercising a lot. But my glucose, A1C, and insulin are fine.

[@sarahlanttto]

Make an appointment ASAP, if you live in the United States: Donald is going to be in office. Good luck, we've got the same thing. ❤

[@Aurora-qn2dx]

I think i have this.. terrible terrible fatigue ,hairloss and weight gain..but i dont have the buffalo hump. my cortisol is high at 8am..how do i know if its in my brain or adrenals? Thyroid antibodies High and i also have insulin resistence.

[@EverAllison]

I would ask to get MRI of your brain and abdomen with and without contrast, it’ll help to check if there are tumors on your pituitary, adrenals, etc.

[@anujbhardwaj3960]

Aurora you feel anxious all the time and hungry all the time

[@ameegrant6055]

Try to Get an special MRI of the Pituitary gland. Regular brain MRI doesn’t show pituitary tumors. So ask an Endocrinologist to give you a prescription for Pituitary tumor MRI

[@humanseeksjustice8830]

Your animations are amazing. Do you creat them?

[@insertusername3778]

Anyone diagnosed with this who didn't have moon face and buffalo hump ?

[@tokumeiokano4154]

I know a couple of people who have it who are thin and have no Buffalo hump. Best to just get it all evaluated by a doctor. Remember an individual might not show all symptoms and only some. Hope things go well for you!

[@carolinasousa365]

hey, pharmacy student here, could you share your sources? I have to do an assignment about cushings but the teacher is 1 week late on the theory classes so i'll only have this class after i have to submit the assignment, and the class is where the teacher send us links and articles for us to read

[@itzashcrax]

Im 14, i have not much fat but on my stomace upper and lower l, thighs and calfs but my arms are skinny, my skin bruises easily but i have sensitive skin, purpley strech marks on my thighs, weaknes is upper arms and mood swings and a couple more but idk if it this or something simular or js hormones

[@naturelovers6987]

Hey any update regarding this ??

[@rrmother3748]

If it’s not Cushing’s, look into Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, as well as Small Fiber Neuropathy. There’s quite a bit of overlap. So sorry you’re not feeling good. Hugs~

[@wwlt.trevor0512]

Hope you’re doing better now! It sounded like Cushing’s from your description a year ago. Wishing you many blessings❤

[@sidra-sl4hs]

5:17 pleaseeee someone explain i dont get it how glucocorticoids medications are used in suppressing the disease

[@hawaaeedami8692]

No you get it wrong, he means the normal cortisol production in the body is suppressed by glucocorticoid medications ( in the patients with asthma or other conditions taking glucocorticoids) so a sudden stoppage may lead to serious problems, therefore he recommends gradual decrease of the doses instead of unexpected stopping, so normal cortisol productions in the body functioning again.

[@echastee]

Getting an MRI today because I recently was diagnosed with PCOS but something is not matching up and they think I could have a tumor. I have so many symptoms of having some kind of pituitary tumor so I can't wait to find out. I had regular periods my whole life. Then they stopped. I am having other symptoms. So I can't wait to find out if I have this brain tumor.

[@Salai_Dante]

Please update us. Wishing you the best ! I am on the same boat as you….I am getting tested tomorrow. Wishing you the best!

[@echastee]

@@Salai_Dante no tumors. So that's good but I'm still trying to figure some stuff out.

[@dandushruthi2921]

Is it possible to cure cushing disease with medicines????

[@petitpois8813]

Yes.

[@annemontgomery3890]

They usually cure it by surgery because that eliminates the cause. There's also something called pseudo-cushings that has the same symptoms,but they don't know the cause, and those often get medication. The meds are pretty invasive as well, though, as you're still messing with hormones.

[@thatstrami]

​@@petitpois8813what do you mean yes? No there's no medicines that cure Cushing's

[@pawsandxffects]

Not cure, but manage symptoms, usually. There are many causes of both cushings disease and syndrome and the right diagnosis will result in different cure rate outcomes. It’s complicated but do able.
