I think I have a pituitary tumor and Cushing's Syndrome. How should I bring this up to my doctor...?

without sounding like some kind of whacko that uses internet based information to self-diagnose myself. I just want her to take me seriously because I want to be tested immediately.

Just come clean and ask if he can do some tests he will help your :)

A patient tells his/ her symptoms to the doctor. It is not necessary for you to come up with a diagnosis.
Tell your doctor what your troubles are and let him/ her decide the line of action.
Good luck!
