My GP has suspected Cushings for a while now. I have the extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, round face, facial flushing, Buffalo hump, weight gain right in midsection - all the alleged tale-tell signs. However, I’ve had to urine tests and one blood test and they are always normal. I’m seeing a third endo now and she agrees with my GP and plans to do another series of blood tests. I guess my question is has anyone else out there ever had initial normal cortisol test results only to later find out it’s Cushings?
