Cushing's in men is the same as women - oddly, testosterone is said to go low in most cushies, not high but there are exceptions and I was one. I also had low cholerestol, normal glucose and low triglicerides but I had a red face, round belly, purple stretch marks and could not heal for nothing. Bye bye immune system.

I have a bud who used to have Cushing's that I can put you in touch with if you want to talk to a man with hormonal issues. He had the belly, striae, fatigue, etc. He would post a lot of pics. I think he would talk to you. I am still in touch with him and his wife.
