Does this look like Cushings??
Hello!
These marks are on my abdomen and used to be deeply purple. They have faded significantly. I thought they were somewhat normal for weight gain until recently.
My doctor and I have been going back and forth about the possibility of Cushings, and recently my endocrinologist mentioned the same thing. Another test was ordered to test for it again (the dex pill) but my first test (salivary cortisol) was negative. When that first test was negative, I was convinced I did not have it. But now that my endocrinologist mentioned it a year later… I am considering it again and it’s terrifying me.
I have been struggling with weight gain, though I also am diagnosed with Hashimotos disorder (subclinical hypothyroidism). My periods are normal. But i’m tired constantly. My limbs feel heavy all the time. and THESE stretch marks… my stomach was FLAT last year! i’m 22 years old and bars don’t ask for my id because i look fat and old!!!!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!
