Ok hello guys, im a 19 year old in desperation because no one takes me seriously.. im a fitness enthusiast ( specifically bodybuilding) , and somehow since some months Ago it seems impossible to lose weight like i always did.. i even lost 20 kg 5 years ago Just by portion control, now with a diet, daily weight training and cardio it seems impossible to lose 1 single pound!!
In Those months, i experienced massive cravings and found myself binging much times.
Another Thing i noticed is that some months Ago my ankles Started swelling as the day goes by. I wake up somewhat ok and then it becomes bigger and bigger... awful!
I notice i have a fat face now , but with +10kg , why wouldnt?
I feel my sleep paterns are ackward, and it might be due to some kind of depressive behavior..
I gained much fat in my hips and abdominal, as Will as legs and face, my pants are almost going to the wardrobe...
Hola. No dices si tomas esteroides en tu culturismo. El síndrome de Cushing a menudo significa que, sin importar cuánto hagas dieta, todo lo que comes se convierte directamente en grasa. La cara de luna es común, aunque yo mismo no la tuve. Es posible que tengas estrías y un bulto en la parte posterior del cuello. Por favor, ve a ver a tu médico de cabecera, pero recuerda que, como los Cushy somos tan raros, tu médico puede no haber tenido un caso y puede necesitar persuasión para realizar las pruebas relevantes. Nosotros aquí solo podemos aconsejar, no diagnosticar, pero si tienes síndrome de Cushing, podemos darte apoyo. Intenta con tu médico de cabecera. ¡Buena suerte!
Hey Vicky, i didnt ever took steroids. I got blood panels and everything was "okay". Did thyyroid panel and everything was normal too . Now im waiting for the cortisol one, which will tell me if i have it ir not.. my worst fear is to not be diagnosed, or misdiagnosed, because i know i have something, my body is not normal, i know myself very well. I honestly dont know what to do next if this cortisol exam doesnt give answers. Im afraid i will get to my next doctor appointment and just be told to eat less and exercise more... i swear i Will punch the doctor
Como dije, su médico general puede no estar familiarizado con el síndrome de Cushing. Tardaron 2 años en diagnosticarme. Puede pedir una segunda opinión, pero espero que la prueba de cortisol le aclare las cosas. Es posible que aún deba realizarse más pruebas. No se rinda, paciente.
Thanks vicky, it was the endo itself who pointed to " cushing syndrome??"
Estoy de acuerdo con lo que dijo Vicky. Tardé 16 años y muchos médicos en recibir un diagnóstico, y en febrero pasado me sometí a una cirugía transesfenoidal para extirpar un tumor de la hipófisis. Ahora estoy en recuperación. Realizar todas las pruebas para determinar sus niveles de cortisol es un buen punto de partida. A partir de ahí, si sus niveles están elevados, sea insistente con sus médicos y no les permita ignorarlo. Esto ocurre con demasiada frecuencia y puede retrasar significativamente su diagnóstico y tratamiento.
Hola, solo me preguntaba cómo te sientes ahora?
Hey again. So i have News. Yesterday my blood work number 17237262267271712 came and on "free cortisol " from the 24h urine test, i got a 240/24h while normal values are between 10-100 according to my lab. The doctor on the lab, was só incredible yesterday, and after hearing my complaints manages to get me a full thyroid blood test without prescription and thyroid is fine , so it must be cortisol right??
She gave me an explanation that, due to my large urine volume (4,2 L , because i drink a ton of water) my cortisol was much higher, but that doesnt make much sense, dose it? Its water, what diference could it make?? My logic is that, if i had drink less water on that day, the cortisol would be the same but more concentrated as there would be less urine to flush it out, right???
