My brother has been facing obesity problems for over 2 years. Even after multiple visit to various specialist we never understand what was happening with his body. Because of this video, we checked his cortisol levels and found out that it is 5 times the normal range. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE VIDEO. Hopefully an endocrinologist will be able to help us out. Once again thanks a lot
+Jeff, we'd love to hear how you found Osmosis and what specifically in the video helped you all. We hear positive comments from family members and patients each day and would like more of them to have experiences like yours. Can you please email us at hi@osmosis.org?
I've been having similar suspicions with my girlfriend. As a medical student it occurred to me one day that she may have several symptoms. Thus I'm here trying to see if testing is justified or if im being paranoid.

I got this topic at my endocrinology exam. My professor was really strict and failed many colleges of mine. Luckily I passed:) Your videos are awesome and really helpful. May all of you pass your medical exams 🤯🥳
It's been 3 years since I know something's wrong and I had to persuaded multiple doctors to do some tests (diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroidism...) that all turned out negative. And today someone mentioned the Cushing Syndrome and it was scary accurate. Scary. Period. Thank you for this video that helped me a lot to helped me to be better informed and reassured me (a little). Be insistent on your health, be patient and last but not least, be kind to yourself 💖
I definitely have known something is going on but most drs only give you 5-6 minutes of their time and throw a precription on you and then on to the next patient. I am now doing my own research. I think I found the issue...cushing 😳🧐🕵️🕵️
@@auntiezmobileeatzofficial3387 if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. Today is 10 years since my lung surgery. There's far more to it than I've ever seen all my research. Good luck finding out what's going on. I know it's scary.
@@iachaullaw 🆘 EMERGENCY 🆘 I have not small sale, lung cancer , I was 159 pounds now weigh 129 pounds I was on immunotherapy called KETRUDA , it is attacking my adrenal gland and my upper kidney.. during the pet scan it’s lighting up. It has some kind of light on it… my symptoms are I cannot go to sleep cannot… my body is tightening up. I’m very thirsty and I can’t get enough to drink.. I felt better with the salt water. My kidneys hurt. Very bad now.. I have headaches. sometimes stomachache the runs I go poo a lot and I have no hair on my private area anymore under my armpits and no eyelashes I’m so weak and then I was on 2.5 mg of, prednisone now I’m on 5 mg. I’m still taking the potassium and they started me on thyroid medicine. I’ve been on the thyroid medicine for whole week and no change in anyway they stopped the immunotherapy treatments which was working. My cancer was almost all done all erase we didn’t do anything for it for months, and then it went into the upper, both upper lobes of the lung left lobe lung and both of the lower lobe lung so now I’m doing radiation and doctor say the radiation does not hurt, but it does and you could feel them taken out the cancer if they took my prednisone away I would be dead I went into some kind of emergency thing where I had to have water. My sugar level is at 50 I’m weak, without my prednisone I cannot walk I’m so sick that I think that I am going to stop the treatments and just die. The kids are hurts very very bad. The doctor told me that you cannot feel cancer because there’s no sales or anything but once it gets in your muscles, you really can fill it, I’m so weak and then sometimes I sweat sometimes I’m very cold. Sometimes I’m very mad and sometimes are really sad and I cry for absolutely no reason I’m very hyper hyper sensitive. I wanted to tell you what I was going through so that nobody else would go through it, and if you have lung cancer, let me tell you in so much pain. It feels just like somebody kicked you. It’s it feels like somebody beat. You literally beat you and kicked you. I’ve lost a lot of weight my stomach I cannot see close up or medium anymore but I can still see far awayI think that’s the only symptoms that I have I crave salt and I can’t get enough. The pickle juice helps salty pickle juice. I highly recommend that because it will make you feel a lot better. I’m up all night most of the day and then I crash I go into the deepest, deepest sleep where I don’t dream. I hope you can help us.
My doc gave me a referral to see a psychiatrist so I decided to take matters into my own hands getting on Etsy buying teas and tinctures that keeps my body hormones balanced.
I am in the process of being diagnosed with Cushing's. I return my salvia test today. I have already had 3 other exams and taken altogether along with the salvia test I am that much closer to a cure. I don't let fear take a hold of me. I hang on tightly to hope that there is a 80% cure rate. Right now I am excited and nervous to face the truth. I have been suffering from this for at least 10 years and it has taken that long to get this close to hopes of remission.
@@amymuchko7106 I'm sorry for that. Were you able to get a diagnosis? 2 days ago was my 10 year anniversary since my surgery. I had the carcinoma in my right lung. The cushings symptoms went away but quality of life has gotten worse. I had to close my business and get on disability. It feels like it never ends. Whatever it is you're feeling, both physically and emotionally, just know that you're not alone. I really hope things get better for you.
I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues with no clear answers. One doctor accused me of seeking attention. But these things are happening to me. Someone mentioned Cushing’s syndrome and it’s crazy how accurate this is to what I’ve been going through. I just got tested for cortisol levels and I’m currently waiting on the results. Fingers crossed I finally have an answer.
Highly unprofessional to say that you were attention seeking when you were clearly suffering. I attended a first aid course once and the trained professional was asked about panic attacks and she said that it was basically attention seeking. I was getting panic attacks regularly but far from seeking attention, I hid it away, feeling shame and fear. Nowadays, thankfully, we know far more. Health professionals should be better trained in what they say.
A friend who is now in his 60s has multiple health issues from what we think was massive over prescribing of corticosteroid cream to treat eczema from ages five to eighteen. Some of his health problems are so serious and debilitating that he has been unable to work full time in the past thirty years.
im 99% sure i have this. weve done medical testing for years and havent figured out whats wrong with me. my cortisol and testosterone levels are heightened, and i show almost every physical symptom of cushings. my mom and i are going to try and convince my doctor to get me a CT scan of my adrenal glands in november.
I was under high levels of stress for 15 years, working night shifts the whole time with a family. If I could get 4 hours of sleep a night that was a good sleep, even though I might get woken up 2 or 3 times in that 4 hours. I honestly was so stressed I couldn't sleep and any little startle or inconvenience would make my kidneys and lower back ache and pulsate like a toothache. Now, my life is the complete opposite. I work days, have little to no work stress, kids have gotten older and are pretty independent now and I feel constantly exhausted 😆. We thought maybe it would take a year to get back to normal it's been over 2 and my energy levels are still quite low. Need to try and get my body to not run on stress, cortisol, caffeine and anger lol.

Thanks for this video. It's super informative and non-judgmental. As someone who is trying to figure out their health right now, this was very helpful! Makes me less scared to go back to the endocrinologist.
Brilliant explanation, thank you. You are a genius!! However, I want to say that Lipoprotein lipase does not help adipocytes to accumulate more fats, it actually breaks down the fats (mainly triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids).
What can be done for high cortisol levels especially at night when it is supposed to be lowest? Like not being able to sleep at night at all? And being exhausted all day long but still can't even fall asleep during the day? I have to take Trazadone but I'm still not getting the correct type of sleep.
Its amazing how far youve come in these years. I used to watch your videos when i was a med student back in 2015...These videos have become much more detailed now especially the videos one ach virus. Keep it up and thank you for helping the millions of other med students for free

Hey, Can you add best initial test and most accurate test in diaognostic part of video that will be very meaningful for step2, step3 and clinical work. Thank you so much.
Even though this results in less endogenous cortisol production it still doesn’t quite compensate for the huge levels of exogenous cortisol, and that causes Cushing syndrome to develop...... SHOULDN'T IT CAUSE ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY?
My doctor scheduled me for a dexamethasone injection (because I have high cortisol & high acth). Thanks for providing information in a easy to digest manner, I find learning more reduces my anxiety.
Excellent and in-depth presentation, thank you. My wife has some of these symptoms which has plagued her for years, for which she has recently sought medical attention, but so far no doctor has ever suggested Cushing Syndrome. Recently, she had a ton of diagnostic tests performed via blood, urine, etc, and I will research the tests that target her cortisol levels to see if C.S. is a suspect. Thanks again for such an informative, though highly technical presentation! : )
My cortisol was only 2x the normal instead of 3x which is what my doc said is used for dx, so I was told to not worry about it. All the symptoms fit though
So spectacular content. But we should also remember that due to the hyperstimulation of the adrenal cortex, aldosterone, another hormone of the organ, is being overstimulated. Aldosterone regulates salt and water balance of the body; therefore, an increase of the said hormone would increase the the blood volume and contributes to the present hypertension. That is the reason why it also affects one's weight and predisposed to leg swelling, or more detrimental, heart problems. NEVERTHELESS, I appreciate this in depth presentation of many health topics that aids students or medical savvy to learn and understand more about our complex yet magnificent body. Thumbs up.
Dann shit, these are the 3xsct symptoms I have, plus an enlarged adrenal gland I'm scanning tomorrow. I have the hump on the back and filled in clavicle. I also have heart palpitations.

I'm not sure what the cause is yet but I found I have elevated cortisol levels. My blood sugar has risen despite a keto diet, Buffalo hump, irritability and wake up at 3pm every night and every 1.5 hrs after that. I had the 24 hr urine test. Looking for a endocrinologist now.

Hi Kaitlyn- I’m in the process of being diagnosed- going through the 24-hr urine test. How are you doing now? Is your Cushings pituitary? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hope you’re doing ok. This has been stressful
@@Marilyn88- Hey ! not sure where youre located but im from ontario canada and getting a hold of an endocrinologist was the hardest part of all of it. I'm from a small town and we only have one and he actually refused my case because he simple didnt have enough experience with it. I got my head CT two weeks-ish ago and no tumour in my pituitary ! Good and bad news- now we have to look at my adrenal glands and such. Until the doctor knows exactly where and what is going on, they cant start treatment. So, i'm not sure what your symptoms are for me the biggest one (other than weight gain!) is im exhausted all the time, so all thats happened is i was given sleeping pills to help me get into a deeper sleep. Its a LONG and SLOW process(atleast here) so keep that in mind:) i still have far to go, im only a couple months a head of you! my 24 hour urine test was beginning of june.
I am on to something herrrreeeee.... I need to find a endocrinologist immediately. I have been suffering most of my life... I'm sure this is me as well🧐🧐🧐😳😳😳😒😔
The small cell lung cancer secreting acth plowed my mind, since I was once asked about a cancer that raises weight instead of lowering it and that was the answer but didn't know why until now👏👏 Good work
@osmosis...@manaribrahim6449... Bonjour je suis française et j'ai eue un Cushing au poumon. Première opération en 2001 ablation tu lob central droit puis en 2008 Re-Cushing deuxième opération ablation du poumon droit. Mon hypophyse et mes surrénales sont en stand by. Je prend de l'hydrocortisone 20mg tout les matins. Mais j'ai l'impression que se n'est pas assez. Je suis toujours fatiguée le matin. Avant mon taux de cortisol était X par 12. J'ai eue tous les symptômes. Je n'ai plus l'hypertension, le mal dans le bas des reins (comme des pulsions électrique).... Mais j'ai gardée l' hirsutisme, le gras du ventre, la peau fine, des veines minces, du mal à la marche (muscles atrophiés), la bosse de bison est toujours présente, les douleurs X par 2.... Etc.... Mais je n'ai plus que 1 poumon le plus petit.... Donc le sport n'est pas mon fort. Comment m'identifier parmi tous ces Cushing ? Surrénale NON... Hypophyse NON... Très rare poumons ??? Aidez moi à me retrouver 😢
@@yashchahal5034 unfortunately I have not improved at all. I'm still having to take prednisone at least once per month to deal with these horrible allergies and asthma attacks. I'm starting to take Zyrtec D around the clock to see if that might help. I have very bad allergies to dust mites, dust, pollen, grass, nuts, milk and eggs. I do eat eggs and use a little condensed milk in my coffee. It's hard to give up things you have been eating your entire life. Also when I eat eggs, nuts and use a little milk in my coffee, I have no reaction. It may be that I react later on to them. I'm not sure. I really do hope the Zyrtec D will help somewhat. Hope you find something that will help you. Lets us know how you get on!
The video is amazing! Everything is so well explained. Congrats!! :) But there's one thing that confuses me. You keep saying throughout the video "secretes" but this word has two meanings, to produce or to discharge. And therefore i never know the real meaning when you say "secretes". Can maybe someone relate and help me with this one maybe? Thanks:)

here i am watching this video at night wondering why my eczema is flaring up, video mentions that cortisol which is released more during the daytime helps with anti-inflammatory process, me knowing eczema is caused by inflammation, does a google search and i learn that cortisol helps prevent the itching during the day but because cortisol levels drop at night, that is why the flares up occur at this time! then again my eczema also flares up with stress...

And being exhausted all day long but still can't even fall asleep during the day? I have to take Trazadone but I'm still not getting the correct type of sleep.
Please make a video about Acromegaly as well.
P.S - I loved this video.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Nursing student here, just power-cramming.

Kindly mention in every disease Most specific lab test and early managmnt
Even though this results in less endogenous cortisol production it still doesn’t quite compensate for the huge levels of exogenous cortisol, and that causes Cushing syndrome to develop...... SHOULDN'T IT CAUSE ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY?
My doctor scheduled me for a dexamethasone injection (because I have high cortisol & high acth). Thanks for providing information in a easy to digest manner, I find learning more reduces my anxiety.
We're glad that our video helped, Shannon! 🙏🏼
This video is not all there is. Follow your doctor's treatment plan
Excellent and in-depth presentation, thank you. My wife has some of these symptoms which has plagued her for years, for which she has recently sought medical attention, but so far no doctor has ever suggested Cushing Syndrome. Recently, she had a ton of diagnostic tests performed via blood, urine, etc, and I will research the tests that target her cortisol levels to see if C.S. is a suspect. Thanks again for such an informative, though highly technical presentation!
: )
We hope that this has been helpful! 🙏🏼
My cortisol was only 2x the normal instead of 3x which is what my doc said is used for dx, so I was told to not worry about it. All the symptoms fit though
Thanks for an excellent video which does not insult the intelligence of the audience. Thank you for your fact-filled presentation.
Always glad to help! 🙌🏼
you should have more than 10M subscribers
Glad you think so! 🙏🏼
So spectacular content. But we should also remember that due to the hyperstimulation of the adrenal cortex, aldosterone, another hormone of the organ, is being overstimulated. Aldosterone regulates salt and water balance of the body; therefore, an increase of the said hormone would increase the the blood volume and contributes to the present hypertension. That is the reason why it also affects one's weight and predisposed to leg swelling, or more detrimental, heart problems.
NEVERTHELESS, I appreciate this in depth presentation of many health topics that aids students or medical savvy to learn and understand more about our complex yet magnificent body. Thumbs up.
Dann shit, these are the 3xsct symptoms I have, plus an enlarged adrenal gland I'm scanning tomorrow. I have the hump on the back and filled in clavicle. I also have heart palpitations.
Lols can we all take a moment to appreciate the ninja detail please

Thank you! We just published one at books.osmosis.org!
Could someone politely tell me what one’s brain feels like whilst having Cushing Syndrome? Any abnormal sensations in the brain etc etc? Cheers.
I have extreme loss of memory, like I don't and can't remember what I was doing yesterday. And deep depression

Were you diagnosed with cushings?
Hi @@tonyh9970 yes I had an adrenalectomy a year ago. I documented my journey on my channel if you want to check it out
@@lifestylesofthechronicallyill I'd like that. I had a carcinoma in my right lung. Sat was 10 years since the surgery. Can you give me the link or do I just search your name. How are you feeling now?
i am 21 years old male. I have been experiencing this for a while along with extreme hunger. is it treatable because i am losing hope.
We care for you, Temuulen. But unfortunately we don’t provide medical advice through this channel. We’d recommend reaching out to a local health professional for any consultation and diagnosis of your condition.

This lecure is on my exam i hope to explain as good as you learned me..!!!
I'm not sure what the cause is yet but I found I have elevated cortisol levels. My blood sugar has risen despite a keto diet, Buffalo hump, irritability and wake up at 3pm every night and every 1.5 hrs after that. I had the 24 hr urine test. Looking for a endocrinologist now.
Any update dear ??

This video made learning cushing syndrome easy for me to learn. thank you. 😘
You’re welcome! 😊
It would be the sensation if all the videos had subtitles in Spanis
I liked the video but you need to correct the grammar on the summary page. "any condition's'"
Really good work thanks
You summarized all what's important and explained it so nicely keep going please
Severe stress can cause cushings
i was just diagnosed with cushings and this video was very helpful in understanding whats really going on:) thank you
Hi Kaitlyn- I’m in the process of being diagnosed- going through the 24-hr urine test. How are you doing now? Is your Cushings pituitary? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hope you’re doing ok. This has been stressful
@@Marilyn88- Hey ! not sure where youre located but im from ontario canada and getting a hold of an endocrinologist was the hardest part of all of it. I'm from a small town and we only have one and he actually refused my case because he simple didnt have enough experience with it. I got my head CT two weeks-ish ago and no tumour in my pituitary ! Good and bad news- now we have to look at my adrenal glands and such. Until the doctor knows exactly where and what is going on, they cant start treatment. So, i'm not sure what your symptoms are for me the biggest one (other than weight gain!) is im exhausted all the time, so all thats happened is i was given sleeping pills to help me get into a deeper sleep. Its a LONG and SLOW process(atleast here) so keep that in mind:) i still have far to go, im only a couple months a head of you! my 24 hour urine test was beginning of june.
I am on to something herrrreeeee.... I need to find a endocrinologist immediately. I have been suffering most of my life... I'm sure this is me as well🧐🧐🧐😳😳😳😒😔
YOU ARE THE BOMB!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS PAGE!! 💋
Great video!! how come cushing's causing increased WBC but also increased vulnerability to infections?
My wbc count is 15000 mine symptoms are same as Cushing syndrome what about your wbc count please share??
The small cell lung cancer secreting acth plowed my mind, since I was once asked about a cancer that raises weight instead of lowering it and that was the answer but didn't know why until now👏👏
Good work
Glad this helped, Manar! 🙌🏻
@osmosis...@manaribrahim6449... Bonjour je suis française et j'ai eue un Cushing au poumon. Première opération en 2001 ablation tu lob central droit puis en 2008 Re-Cushing deuxième opération ablation du poumon droit. Mon hypophyse et mes surrénales sont en stand by. Je prend de l'hydrocortisone 20mg tout les matins. Mais j'ai l'impression que se n'est pas assez. Je suis toujours fatiguée le matin. Avant mon taux de cortisol était X par 12. J'ai eue tous les symptômes. Je n'ai plus l'hypertension, le mal dans le bas des reins (comme des pulsions électrique).... Mais j'ai gardée l' hirsutisme, le gras du ventre, la peau fine, des veines minces, du mal à la marche (muscles atrophiés), la bosse de bison est toujours présente, les douleurs X par 2.... Etc.... Mais je n'ai plus que 1 poumon le plus petit.... Donc le sport n'est pas mon fort.
Comment m'identifier parmi tous ces Cushing ?
Surrénale NON... Hypophyse NON...
Très rare poumons ???
Aidez moi à me retrouver 😢
My cushings is due to prednisone for allergy induced asthma. Trying to find more info and ways to bring my body back to homeostasis.
Pretty Young Thing. Same here hope you feel better
Hi!
Hope you're better now
I've been facing the same issue
Wanted to know if you got any respite and if yes then how
@@yashchahal5034 unfortunately I have not improved at all. I'm still having to take prednisone at least once per month to deal with these horrible allergies and asthma attacks. I'm starting to take Zyrtec D around the clock to see if that might help. I have very bad allergies to dust mites, dust, pollen, grass, nuts, milk and eggs. I do eat eggs and use a little condensed milk in my coffee. It's hard to give up things you have been eating your entire life. Also when I eat eggs, nuts and use a little milk in my coffee, I have no reaction. It may be that I react later on to them. I'm not sure. I really do hope the Zyrtec D will help somewhat. Hope you find something that will help you. Lets us know how you get on!
I usually like the videos after I watch them, but the moment I saw the ninja I paused to like! Awesome work guys thank you is not enough!
The video is amazing! Everything is so well explained. Congrats!! :)
But there's one thing that confuses me. You keep saying throughout the video "secretes" but this word has two meanings, to produce or to discharge. And therefore i never know the real meaning when you say "secretes". Can maybe someone relate and help me with this one maybe? Thanks:)
*_Can you have this as a child and outgrow it, with no medical help?_*
Medicine will kill me but by ur help it is easier TNX🌸
This helped me a lot! Nicely explained!

Dang, I wish I saw this earlier. That was a good recap of some parts of my lecture and I understand it a lot better now. Thanks.
Great videos, please dont stop doing what you're doing!!
My husband is a doctor but hes at the hospital and he dont have time to teach me so he sent me this. Im reviewing for ASCP...
I hate being stupid 🤯😔😥
Thanks
Awesome video; it was a great review for an exam!!
Not so nice to know when no Doctor is going to make any practice in treating such sickness
I wish you would also upload the pdf of what you explain
I have a lipoma on my brain (in the soft tissues of the scalp right posterior lateral). Could this play a role in my symptoms? I also have hypothyroidism. I have all the symptoms of Cushings.
Wish I could take tution from you people on a regular basis 😥
lipoprotein lipase breaks down lipids, it doesn't increase deposition of fats
Thankyou for making videos on the many disease processes!! thankyou for making our lives easier! because after all millenials are Visual Learners

It help us a lot to learn.
Just too many bullshit videos out there that have more viewers. about entertainment, about product that make us buy we dont actually need, about food, about whatever. But They just dont give a fuck about the education part.
Please make another education videos like this.
I appriciate it very much
Hope you get healthy all the time.
Sorry for my bad english :(

here i am watching this video at night wondering why my eczema is flaring up, video mentions that cortisol which is released more during the daytime helps with anti-inflammatory process, me knowing eczema is caused by inflammation, does a google search and i learn that cortisol helps prevent the itching during the day but because cortisol levels drop at night, that is why the flares up occur at this time!
then again my eczema also flares up with stress...
when is the book coming out? :)
I remember drawing the pituitary gland and people thought I drew some balls
Indeed. That's why we generally try to show it referenced to a brain to avoid confusion. Did you know that if you like & review us on Facebook then you’ll get access to our videos a day before they’re published on RUclips? Check it out here: bit.ly/2u35D6J
bgbzero same here too😂
they are the balls of the brain.. brain's balls or "BB" hhhh
it look like it thoug:D
My professor once told me to draw male genitalia, he said that it was a horse genitalia
Thank you i have this very syndrome and i'm 16 and half. It is very annoying thing to have and i'm in the hospital in this very moment
5:24 Oh wow. My parents told me i was on steroids for Asthma when i was younger and a Doctor was so horrified at the dose i was on that he took me off them immediately. Definitely have to explore this further.
Dear osmosis your explanations are clear cut and perfect but I found some difficulties to understand the clinical manifestations of hypo and hyperthyroidism!! Can you please make a video about that....😄😄
Hi, Arun, thanks for the interest! We have a video on Hyperthyroidism on our website now and will have a video on hypothyroidism there within a week. Check it out! bit.ly/2ut5ZEJ
Osmosis thank you soo much😎
thanks for such an in depth description
Osmosis videos has helped me throughout my premed life 💫
How are these changes in the body corrected? Buffalo hump, fat deposits, cracks and hairs how can we get past them? Does it affect height in someone caught at 16? If he has been receiving treatment for 3 years.
thank u guys,it is very amazimg lecture
Great video👏👏💜
Osmosis is the best channel💜
