Anyone have Cushing's or a tumor on their pituitary gland?

I was diagnosed with a tumor on my pituitary gland several years ago and after having a miscarriage and then another pregnancy that made it full term, I am wondering if i may actually have Cushing's syndrome. I would like to talk to someone who has this form, or has had any complications like weight gain and/or water rentention associated with a pituitary tumor.

i was just recently diagnosed with cushing's due to having a tumor on my pituitary gland. the symptoms attached to this have been life altering.

first off i'm a 23 yr old female and have (according to my doctors) had cushing's for most likely 2-3 yrs before they found it. my symptoms include sever weight gain (100 lbs in 12 months), skin changes like striae and sensitivity, depression and mood swings, weakness and fatigue, pain in muscles and joints, excessive sweating and intolerance to heat. i also have edma (swelling / water retention) so bad that my feet can't fit into any of the old shoes or socks i use to wear.

congrats on the baby! and i hope you don't have cushing's but if you do i've listed several websites that can help you out. also feel free to email me if you have any questions.

i hope this helps!
