Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that following are symptoms of Cushing's Syndrome :

weight gain, obesity
fatty deposits, especially in the face (round "moon" face), between the shoulders, the upper back, and midsection
stretch marks on the breasts, arms, abdomen, and thighs
thinning skin that bruises easily
cuts, insect bites, and infections that are slow to heal
acne
fatigue
muscle weakness
glucose intolerance
increased thirst
increased urination
bone loss
high blood pressure
headache
cognitive dysfunction
anxiety, irritability
depression

There is no single definitive test for Cushing syndrome. The diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination and a review of your medical history and symptoms. Laboratory tests that help with the diagnosis may include:
24-hour urinary free cortisol test
midnight plasma cortisol and late-night salivary cortisol measurements
low-dose dexamethasone suppression test (LDDST) (blood test)

Thus I would advice to you that you should visit a good MD Medicine doctor in your hometown along with your mother to get evaluated and get the diagnosis established.



Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
