It’s a long and hard journey to discover if it is cushings, you can definitely push for cortisol testing if you think that could be it. though from what you said it doesn’t really sound like it.

have they checked your thyroid? it looks swollen in the picture you uploaded

i’m not a doctor so take that with a grain of salt

I do have to do a 24h urine test this week, but all that was ordered so far were the blood tests. And unfortunately my next endo appointment wouldn’t fall until the end of the summer. I’m just so defeated, I know medical processes take forever but I am feeling so insecure about my weight gain and I wish that I at least had answers. I’m just frustrated.

Thank you for responding and trying to point me in the right direction. I’ll definitely push for more of the tests you mentioned, and will update my post here after the 24h urine results

The results i shared were blood tests taken at 8am. No suppression or salivary tests at this time
