Hey everyone, my name is Emily. I am hoping to get some insight here. I am actually in nursing school and have come across this syndrome and wanted to get your opinions on if you guys thought I could have this.
Here is my story... About 7yrs ago I was diagnosed with hypertension, then the following year with Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome, then later that year with Hypothyroidism due to rapid weight gain (which was later switched to Hashimoto's). I have hirsutism.
After pregnancy (which was difficult even attaining due to lack of mestration and ovulation), I could never really loose my middle weight. I have a fatter face, fat pad on underside of my chin, and I have a distinct buffalo hump. Growing up I never brused, now I bruse with the slightest touch. My stretch marks from my pregnancy (4yrs have gone by) remain purple. I even have dermagraphism on my chest and neck. I have been thinking this whole time that my symptoms JUST HAD to be related, just a lot of things to go wrong in a short period of time without being linked SOMEHOW!
After looking up cushings, it seems to fit, but wanted an honest opinion. Thanks for any help you can give!
