Reply: Katie: "Re: PCOS..and possibly Cushing's Syndrome?" Hi all! About 4 years ago I was offically diagnosed with PCOS--via ultrasound-- (although I have suffered symptoms since puberty) and was put on all the standand meds (the pill, Glucophage) with really no improvement. I have since taken myself off them (my dr. knows this). Recently, I've been reading up on Cushing's Syndrome--a disorder where too much of the hormone Cortisol is in the body on a continual basis-- which has very similar symptoms to PCOS. I really wouldn't have thought much of it if I didn't have one of the more marked symptoms of Cushing's. The symptom is a large hump (referred to as a "buffalo hump") on the upper back, right below the neck. It is very unattractive and is often a source of embarrasment for me. The dr. said it was just fat and should go away when I loose more weight, but I'm pretty worried anyway, it feels harder than fat. Cushing's Syndrome is pretty nasty and if I have it, I want to know so I can do something, anything, about it. My question is do any of you all have problems with a hump like this on your back and am I just being paranoid. Thanks Next message: Kristy: "Re: PCOS..and possibly Cushing's Syndrome?"
