Intermittent Moon Face with Cushing's

Also, I have the buffalo hump. I've had it college, approximately 10 years. I have gone away a few times over the last year, which never before. 

A high level of the neurotransmitter dopamine can cause problems with mood, memory, focus and more.

A moon face isnt something that is parts of your face, its the whole face and it does not swell up and down. Nor does exercise change the moon face, nor does stress change it. I think you have a hormone problem.

A high creatine says you have trouble with your kidneys. I do not think what you have is related to Cushings.

I don't know about what's happening with you my symptoms are intermittent and my facial swelling and body swelling does fluctuate along with my labs sometimes my cortisol high and sometimes normal if you have big gaps between episodes you could be recovering in between high cortisol periods . I just don't know it sound like it in a way but fat loss under eyes and working  out wouldn't help your face swelling , but  symptoms can fluctuate with Cushings , trust your gut do your research me nor anyone on here are Drs they can just share there experiences which all vary . If there are months between episodes the Cushings look can disappear then return particularly in children do your research . I just wouldn't like to say on your behalf cause I could be wrong but my mind is open 

I did not have a moon face when I was diagnosed and my hump never went away.  If Cyclic Cushings cannot relate to your symptoms then I agree it could be hormonal or Adrenal Cushings.  Keep on with your tests and let us know how you get on.  Good luck.

Hi. I have constant moon face & swelling All round my neck, collar bone, face & hump back. I'm not sure if Cushing's swelling is intermittent but I'm sure some of the lovely ladies here will be able to help. Especially cycliccushings as shes very clued up on intermittent Cushing's so I'm sure she'll respond soon (if not already) Good luck & I hope they find a solution xxx

Thyroid disorders insulin resistance and other stuff endocrine can give you the puffy face anxiety and things if you get any high or questionable cortisol results though I'd pursue it everyone's different trust your gut 

Sorry ment to say diseased kidneys cause facial swelling but it would be in hands feet ankles legs too cause of fluid retention but you get all theses thing in Cushings to . If you had Cushings you would have a lot more symptoms but then again if it's only been a year you've experienced this who knows the human body is so weird ! Good luck in here if you want to talk 

I am not diagnosed with cushings but currently seeing a endocrinologist. I have experienced the same as you though with the puffy face during times I stress I notice it is significantly worse. I have always questioned it but could never be sure of the cause??
