Jessie's Story...

I am 23 and have multiple symptoms of Cushing's. high blood pressure, excessive abdominal and facial weight gain, ugly purple stretchmarks, extreme fatigue, lack of motivation, irregular heart beat, back aches & pain, mood swings, sadness and more.

I went to an Endo in PA & she immediately thought Cushing's but I have had two 24 urine tests done and some blood work the one urine and the blood test that have come back have been "normal" we are still waiting for the last 24 hr collection to come back from the lab.

I am looking into an Endo in the Charleston/Columbia areas of SC to go to & suggest saliva tests. This has all happened in such a short period of time it seems.

I have gained 75 lbs in the last few months and am 5'1. My self esteem is shot as well as my ability to wear any of my old clothes. I am concerned/unhappy/scared. I know something is wrong with me.
