My symptoms are almost identical to yours, but I have yet to have any cortisol testing done (I have doctors appointments coming up that I will ask about having the tests done).
📰 Tumors in Cushing’s Patients Have Distinct Genetic Profiles
Based on their genetic profile, researchers were able to cluster tumors into three distinct subgroups...
