Christa...calm down...I don't think that you have "Cushings Syndrome." What it is, is a tumor in the brain. Pituitary Gland to be exact. Symptoms are fast to come on...and you would not go all of these years without knowing...okay? Trust me...I have researched this... Take Care sweetie... Well, also...I am a nurse. Sincerely...Annette
