What causes one to develop shut-in/hermit tendencies?
What works to overcome this?

@mostlylurking I took thiamine daily for a while, and it seemed to be what kickstarted my liver healing.
My blood sugar problem seems to be closer to reactive hypoglycemia rather than hyperglycemia though.

@irs said in Cushing's Disease:

Prescribed me some adaptogen type formula to help with the cortisol (the one i got has ashwagandha, rhodiola and some other herbs)

Have you noticed any effects with this yet?

@mostlylurking
Weight gain in the belly and face with skinny arms and legs, high visceral fat, blood sugar problems, elevated liver enzymes, red/purple stretch marks keep developing, hair thinning, certain ocular symptoms that may indicate pituitary problem, but that's a hunch at the moment.

I strongly suspect that I may be dealing with Cushing's, which I will seek tests and data to confirm.
Is there anybody who has experience with this or who may be in a similar situation?

I have heard that high doses of Cyproheptadine may be a treatment.
However, I have also heard claims that Cyproheptadine can induce permanent weight gain

Given that the main symptom of Cushing's is weight gain which is very difficult to lose, I am not sure how true this information is.

Through what mechanism does cypro cause weight gain? Is this weight gain actually irreversible?
If cypro can treat Cushing's, will it prevent the loss of that weight?

@periander345 I've been suspecting something like that, and I've also been suspecting something like Cushing's based on other symptoms

@NangaParbat It feels like a pressure in or around the eyes. My eyes don't appear to be bulging.

What causes eye pressure? Every time I've checked my blood pressure it has been normal. It seems to worse when I am hungry.

@NateHiggers Ok, but if "being a true catholic" is all it takes, how and why did people spontaneously end up rejecting the "truth"? Are you not seeing the problem with your argument?

@dan-saintdominic "Its about adopting the whole truth of the Catholic faith. "
Again, if this was the solution the current situation would not exist.

@hypermensch I eat at the bare minimum, 250g of beef, 2L of milk, on top of that I have eggs, fruit and cheese. The carrot salad hasn't really seemed to make a difference so I haven't had it for a while.

@dan-saintdominic Do the "just go back to church" bros not understand that if that was the solution society would have never gotten to the point that it is?

I put topical vitamin A on my bellybutton not long ago and I ended up with a migraine the next day and a rash on the application area
I'm not really sure why though

The last time I tried adding maple syrup to milk it made me feel nauseous

Pay attention to your body, specifically your shoulders and hips. It seems like everyone with asymmetry in their eyes and face has an asymmetry going along their entire body.

@catharsis They're usually well formed and clean, especially if I avoid starch, but I find myself needing to go again in anywhere from 20-60 mins later.

@roided_bulgar Cutting out coffee hasn't made much of a difference

Why are so many peatbros so excited to poop so many times a day? I have to go too much and it's unbearable. I would give anything to only go like once, maybe twice maximum.
Any strategies?
