Cushing's Info

Hello all, Well here's my story...so far. It all started after the birth of my now 7 year old. I was very active, healthy and strong before her, then about 1 yr after her birth it started!

The first time something was different was when I was standing in line in the grocery store and I started freaking out for no reason this was sooo scary n new to me that I left my cart and got out of the store.

This wierd stuff continued for about 2 years then I started noticing a hump on my upper back and my stomach got huge. So ibg that the fat hangs down my hair is falling out all over my head and receding.

This was all so new to me I was so scared and worried about my "changing appearance" other ppl noticed like family and friends they were saying things like woah u r really putting on pounds and ur hair doesnt look the same, also my face is so fat now like an oversized double chin. I started looking these symptoms up online and kept coming across Cushings Disease ans syndrome.

Finally I went to my doctor n told her she send my in the an MRI of my brain that focused on my pituitary gland. I also had blood work and a urine test done looking for cortisol levels. After all of the waiting and waiting the results were in I was sure that I was going to have a diagnosis and I would be able to regain my life and body,but....NOTHING! No findings in my urine and no tumor on my pituitary!!!!!! Okay, what the heck is going on????

My doctor just said we did the tests and they are negitive...be happy u don't have Cushings! But I kmow something is off her I mean we know our own bodies...RIGHT!?!?!  I am not crazy here!

My doctor told me I need to lose weight but my weight never go's down just keepsgoing up slowly but it just continues rising! If there is anyone with any explinations or someone that can help please let me know because I KNOW something isn't right! Also I had thyroid tests done as well and those show perfect results too. I'm very tired of not being believed that I have Cushings!!!
