Is it Cushing's?

Hello! Male, 19.

I've been experiencing really strange symptoms for years, and been misdiagnosed again and again, and I've just been really fed up with the healthcare system trying to push me away. I did my own research, and I think I might have Cushing's..? I'll give you the breakdown.

My weight has stayed mostly the same, but my face in particular has gotten fatter (could be unrelated), which is why I actually strayed away from the idea that I might have Cushing's for a while. It's also way less common in men.

But where it really started to make sense was when it came to the stretch makes that have been plaguing me for the past 2-3 years. They started small, but have developed into pretty large stretches on my skin that have gotten so thin that they've torn before. I have long ones on both legs that start on the back of my thighs and go all the way around to the front, and they're all over the back of my thighs. Some of them have gotten better, but most of them have remained largely unchanged or worsening. A lot of them are that purple striae-looking ones that I was told to look out for with Cushing's Syndrome.

This might be unrelated, but I have had severe crippling weakness throughout my body almost every morning that persists a good majority of the day. It feels like I'm running off of no sleep almost every day when I consistently get 8-12 hours of sleep. I've been struggling with this symptom the longest and nothing has helped.

I've also had a suspicion that my blood sugar has a part to play? For at least 2 years consistently, when I forget to eat, or start feeling hungry, I get incredibly dizzy, wobbly, and weak, and I have almost fainted a few times from not being able to eat right away.

Can someone with Cushing's please tell me if this sounds like Cushing's to you or if you have experienced these symptoms yourself? I'll also add pictures of my stretch marks (The pictures don't really do them justice unfortunately). Thank you! <3
