I got diagnosed with Fibro/Myo in 2012. Since 6 months I gained 30 pounds rapidly, causing stretch marks over my stomach and my breasts. I am not pregnant and the weight came rapidly and within 2 months. I have tried to maintain active and everything. I was on Cymbalta 60 mg and weaned myself off (doctor's orders) and have been off for 2 months (was on it for about a year). I am wondering could I have Cushing's syndrome? Since it overlaps a lot of symptoms of fibro and myofasical. Just want to lose this weight and try to help my body heal.

You made me laugh with your post and I sure needed a good laugh this morning.
Have a good day ![]() And to Kalli, So sorry for all you are going through. I'm on 60 mg of Cymbalta at night and I also take 1800 mg of gabapentin daily. I have small fiber neuropathy. I am overweight and it is very hard staying at this weight while taking the above meds. Take care ![]() ![]() Debi from Georgia |

Cushings would give hypertension, facial hair growth and hair on the body in a male distribution, acne, and in some extreme cases behavior changes approaching psychosis. Cushingoid obesity typically involves the face quite a bit...some doctors use this sign to decide on testing for it.
There are blood tests for this, so a visit to your doctor could help diagnose this. There are two basic forms of Cushing's. One is a pituitary adenoma, and the other is a tumor on the adrenal gland.
