I wish you all the best, my thoughts are with you.|||Cushing's is a hypersecretion of the adrenal cortex of the adreanal glands resulting in excess production of cortisol and it is most common in females. It is an endocrine disorder and the adrenal glands are perched on top of the kidneys.





Signs and Symptoms


This disease makes changes in multiple body systems. The classic symjptom is a round "moon-shaped" face with acne. the head and trunk are often exaggerated with pencil-thin arms and legs. There may also be some glucose tolerance impairment.





Treatment


The goal is to restore the concentration of serum cortisol to normal levels.


This is a very serious disease talk with your doctor. The good news is that the outcome with treatment is generally good.
