🦓 Day 30, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge 2021
Today is the final day of the Cushing’s Awareness Challenge and I wanted to leave you with this word of advice… To that end, I’m saving some of what I know for future blog posts, maybe even another Cushing’s Awareness Challenge next year.
✍️ Hannah B, Pituitary Bio
After countless doctors appointments and misdiagnoses, Hannah was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome. She has a tumor on her pituitary glad [sic] which causes it to release too much cortisol into her body, affecting her metabolism and growth hormones. It also affects her energy levels and her ability to recover from workouts. “Labs are normal, this is normal an […]
