Hi @terryfriedman Per our private chat we will continue the communication via email. There isn't a specific medication for exogenous Cushing's. The primary treatment is to find a way to reduce steroids which is what would cause the Cushing's. We will go over multiple questions so we better understand your situation and symptoms to see what we might be able to recommend, although we are not physicians.

PM me too please! I have been on prednisone for 7 months and my weight & “hump” are ballooning, along with other wild symptoms.
Thank You!

Hi Gretchen,
Thank you so much for your time. I have the hump in the back which causes lots of pain and my waist is so thick it’s not comfortable to sit at all. I lie in my recliner. I am not getting steroids ever again..that was my pain relief after my car accident where I had four spinal reconstructive surgeries. Do you know what they can prescribe for pain? Kindness regards Terry Friedman
