Amy Schumer Reveals Cushing Syndrome Diagnosis Influenced by Online Criticism

The comedian attributes her diagnosis of the rare hormonal disorder to online comments about her appearance, later confirmed by medical professionals.

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.
