It’s worth trying, as long as it doesn’t cause any other issues! I too had always been at a pretty normal weight, needing to loose a few lbs., but when I started to put this other type of fat onto my body, it came fast and daily I would be gaining! I knew it wasn’t normal.
I did read up on Cushing and I’m so sorry you suffer from it. I do hope your doctor puts you on the Cytomel, it did the job for me, but watch for shakiness or tremors. Keep me posted on your progress. Good luck! .

Thankyou so much! I am definitely going to ask my Doctor about the Cytomel when I meet with him again.I definitely know the weight on me is not normal at all.I know because of other symptoms from my illness I can't really exercise,but at the same time the weight is piling on like I am nonstop eating.That is not the case at all.It is definitely something out of my control.

I take Levothyroxine and it really helped me with energy. Before, I was glued to the sofa. I was so exhausted, I could barely make it to work. I gained weight too. That med gave me back my energy.
