Overview
- Amy Schumer shared on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast that online comments about her 'moon face' prompted her to seek medical advice, leading to a Cushing syndrome diagnosis.
- Cushing syndrome is caused by prolonged elevated cortisol levels, which in Schumer's case resulted from steroid injections for scars from her C-section and breast reduction.
- Symptoms of the condition include facial swelling, weight gain, bruising, and other physical changes, often linked to high cortisol levels or long-term steroid use.
- Schumer expressed relief that her condition, caused by external steroid use, would resolve naturally without requiring invasive treatments like surgery.
- The comedian reflected on her health journey, sharing concerns about her appearance during filming and the emotional impact of the diagnosis.
