I SUFFERED FOR THREE YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS ONLY TO END UP WITH THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AS MY FAMILY DOCTOR, ON THE SAME DAY.THIS IS AFTER GOING TO EVERY SPECAILIST FOR EVERY SYMPTOM I HAD.THE REASON I WANT TO POST THIS MEDICAL INFORMATION IS FOR SEVERAL REASONS.FIRST, THEY TOLD ME AFTER I WAS DIAGNOSISED THAT CUSHING'S IS AN ORPHAN DISEASE THAT AFFECTS FIVE OUT OF ONE MILLION PEOPLE.I JOINED A FEW SUPPORT GROUPS AND, I SIMPLY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MORE PEOPLE HAVE THIS THEN NOT.FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS:WEIGHT GAIN.THIS GAIN APPEARS ON YOUR BODY MORE LIKE A BLOAT AND AFFECTS THE FACE THE BELLY AND,OF COURSE, THE "HUNCHBACK" AS I CALL IT.THIS FAT SEEMS TO BUILD BETWEEN THE SHOULDERS. THIS IS THE RAREST OF THE SYMPTOMS IN MY OPINION. SECOND, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT YOUR LEGS AND ARMS ARE VERY THIN WHILE THE REST OF YOUR BODY IS HUGE. YOU'LL BRUISE EASY, HEAL SLOW. SWEATING IS UNBELIEVEABLE.HYPERTENSION, ACNE, WEAKNESS, LOSS OF MUSCLE TISSUE, BLUE STREAKS IN THE SKIN AND MORE.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS SYMPTOMS OR ABOUT CUSHING'S PLEASE E-MAIL ME.
