Obesity is not always due to overeating and underexercising. The body's own endocrine system can turn on the body, causing multipe problems, one of which is obesity.

    Hi, monkeyboy. I'm so glad you got a quick response and someone "fixed" it right away. I saw your other comment. We have an awesome group who can support you at Cushing's Help (can't put links but at the message boards there). We also have an active FB group. If you are interested, message me and I'll help you.

    I'm a 16 year old boy and just got the tumor removed. The doctor was so surprised because of the fact that I had it and was uncommon in teen males. I'm currently in recovery and it is so uncomfortable I don't know if I'm hungry and I an not allowed to sneez or blow my nose

    Hi doctor - my sister was on high doses of prednisolone in her teen years (lupus) and she then had to have a kidney transplant. She has now been on tacrolimus and mycophanalate for several years and has all the symptoms of cushing, including pain around the middle and lower part of the brain. My question is: Can tacrolimus and mycophanalate cause cushing, or stop it from healing? Do those drugs affect hormonal function? Very grateful for a prompt response... thank you!!

    Dr. Friedman doesn't post here. However, I wanted to also share with you there is a great place for help, but I can't post the link here. If you will google "Cushing's Help", you will find a website with message boards. Join the message boards and we can help you there. Hugs.

    True, not everyone can blame their obesity on that. But some can. This disease is not rare, it is just rarely diagnosed. And you'd be very lucky to have this particular doctor if you had Cushing's. He is amazing.

    If a person has to go to extremes to lose weight...either by extreme exercise or extreme starvation dieting, this is not a normal response. The problem with the extreme exercise or extreme dieting response is that a person can not keep both of those things up forever. Cushings eventually makes your muscles weak and exercise is out of the question. Also starvation dieting will effect your health because you will not get enough nutrition for your body to function correctly.

    @Greatsea, my husband had Cushings Disease. A reasonable diet of less calories will NOT cause a Cushing's patient to lose weight. My husband had it for 35 yrs. He went from a man who was in top shape at West Point to over weight in a short period of time. He lost weight 2x's in those years. Once was when he was training 4 marathon X-C ski racing for 3 hrs a day & other was when he was in a Japanese monastery for three months and ate vegetarian and very little calories. Is an awful disease!

    So I will try and ask this again, updating from a year ago. What is the maximum number of calories this woman could take in without gaining weight, while doing moderate exercise a few times per week? Because as of right now I find it very hard to believe that if this woman was placed on an 1800 calorie diet, under very controlled test settings, while doing moderate regular exercise--I find it hard to believe that she would not be able to lose weight.

    I have been through my father's journey with this illness. It's not easy. He was diagnosed 2 years ago, but like "Kate's " story, even surgery was not the answer. Only prayer and faith can help you, as it helped us to be positive and continue to fight for answes, maybe even a cure.

    My dr. is testing me for Cushing's. Was diagnosed w/ PCOS in 2003. Since then, I've picked up over 60 lbs. Been to nutritionists, diets. Diagnosed w/ hypothyroid in 2006. Still picked up weight. Now I have pain in my thyroid area. I have no idea what's wrong with me. If it's not Cushing's or hypothyroidism or PCOS, what is it? Weight gain, losing hair, joint/muscle pain, pain in neck, headaches, diarrhea. I'm miserable.
