Hi,
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of Cushings?
From 2020 to 2021 I put on 5stone in weight, all around my stomach. All my adult life I’ve weighed 8-10stone so this was half my usual body weight. Because of covid and no face to face appointments the advice from the GP was that it must be my lifestyle, despite me eating the same as I ever had and still working during the pandemic.
My cholesterol was discovered to be high so onto statins it was. In 2022 I was told I had type 2 diabetes. I have liver problems so was put on insulin straight away (Abasaglar AM and Novorapid with meals & snacks)
Exercise has been incredibly difficult due to the weight. At my heaviest, 15stone, I could
only stand or walk for 10mins at a time, and temporarily had to give up work.
I had pancreatitis in august 2022 whereby I couldn’t eat for 2weeks and lost 2stone.
The weight now remains at 13….still 3stone over though.
I suspect my diabetes is a symptom of Cushings but am still being tested for this by Endocrinology.
Had anyone on here been diagnosed with Cushings?
