I can't seem to stop watching your videos. They are fun to watch and very educational. A million thanks for sharing all your amazing videos and helping us Med students and everyone else understand these diseases. God bless you always.

again, this was essentially the perfect the video! Humorous, educational, and not unnecessarily long

Excellent!! You should produce more informative videos like that! You have saved my life!! ❤

Very good! easy to understand. You explain very well and clearly. Love it !!!

the only video that explains the weight gain and how it works.

Very good demonstration. keep going!!

Not sure if you take requests, but have you thought about doing a video lesson on the various adrenergic receptors and how they are exogenously manipulated to treat high heart rate and blood pressure, along with asthma?

So I’ve been on steroids since last August, managed to come down from 40 mg to 13 mg but recently I’m feeling so overwhelmed and have so much an anxiety. I know it’s because of the steroids but my doctors not helping. I’ve gained so much weight, and every time I get up I get syncope type symptoms and a pressure headache that goes away after a few minutes. Shall I increase steroids back up or do I keep on my weaning plan. What causes these symptoms, I know you will say go and get checked but I’m wondering what your opinions maybe .

Great video 🩺🙏

Great thanks. Add more pharmacology videos pls

Ive been using symbicort for asthma every day for 3 months, could this trigger cushings syndrome? I have all the symptoms, including an enlarged adrenal gland that I just got scanned

Hi... I also recently used the same medication for asthma after 1 month, now I noticed a hump at the back of my neck and was wondering the same as you! How are you now? This is the reason why I came across this video.

Thanks, really helped :)

great work sir!

I have all the symptoms except high blood pressure. I was 160 lbs and now 211 lbs in just 5 months. I have the moon face and a hugh belly with the stretch marks. How to test for Cushing's? Blood test or MRI?

@Medicurio

Since Cushing's syndrome is due to elevated cortisol levels, the usual tests are to check cortisol levels in the urine, saliva, and blood. You can also test if your body is resistant to cortisol by administering dexamethasone (similar to cortisol). Normally, people's cortisol levels will go down after dexamethasone because it has negative feedback on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, but people with Cushing's syndrome will still have high cortisol levels. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and get your cortisol levels checked at a hospital ASAP.

Check cortisol and ACTH. But it also could be only a thyroid problem. First check your thyroid.

Hi. Ive taken asmanex hfa (mometasone furoate) for 3 days, and quit because of side effects. Its been a week now since i quitting and i still having dizziness, anxiety, depression. I dont know if its cycled off yet or just its withdrawing effects. What would you suggest? Thanks

there is also cyclical cushings.

I have a question ,can 1 injection of corticosteroid like dexamethasone cause these side effects

Hi this video is a great explanation of the causes of clinical manifestations!! Thank you! What are your references? I've been looking for a reliable in-depth textbook that explains signs and symptoms of diseases! Thank you!

Excellent information thanks a lot God bless

Pleaseeee make more videos 😭😭

incredibly incredible

And the higher calcium in the blood causes calcification of the arterial wall.

Can you please do a video on mast cell activation syndrome

Plz upload video on tumors of brain

thanks great job!

I've only ever met the term, "stress eating" as an excuse for obesity or as a description of emotional stress calorie consumption; colloquially phrased as, "I eat junk food when I'm stressed." (The use in this video seems more accurate.)

Yes! This is the best eye ovening video In the best KZread channel. This is the best.

Good video

good video

me watching this video realising that i might have cushing syndrome and increasing further more my cortisol levels cause I'm stressing about it

Why would low cortisol level decreases ACTH secretion ???!!

@Medicurio

6 жыл бұрын

High cortisol decreases ACTH secretion via negative feedback. Low cortisol shouldn't decrease ACTH secretion

Hi,I have gone through the use of very heavy doses of carticostoroid pills and shots both tougher at a very heavy doses for two months,that time I was not aware of the side effects,but after 4 year plus of that coure my life is getting more and more complicated,I always feel dizzy,less enrgy,anixity,pain in my cheast,severe weight loss and increased gloucose levels, after 4 year of that medication till now I have not recovered,so does it mean that my adrenals are permanently shut down or I have got primary Addison diseases

@Medicurio

You should definitely go see a doctor about your symptoms and bring up the possibility of Addison's disease. Stopping heavy corticosteroid use may result in secondary Addison's disease.

Sad adrenal gland. She said stop but nobody hear :(

awsome

cushings can be causes by an adrenal tumor , not just the pituatary.

@Medicurio

7 жыл бұрын

Absolutely. I talk about tumors in the adrenal gland a little bit (@1:54) but tumors in the pituitary are by far the most common reason for endogenous Cushing's syndrome and is known as Cushing's disease. Both lead to high cortisol levels, and both can be treated by surgically removing the tumor.

Hahahaha... It must be because he's south African... Just like me! No.... Reducing cortisol is not the best way to manage this disease. The body naturally raises its cortisol levels in order to MANAGE the presence of Inflammation....Elevated glucose levels is ALSO A NATURAL RESPONSE of the body to Chronic Inflammation. The INFLAMMATION at its ROOT CAUSE must be dealt with, and the symptoms will slowely disappear... What many people don't know is that Cushing Syndrome is strongly linked to Intestinal Parasites....causing Chronic Inflammation... Raising Cortisol levels... Which allows proliferation of Intestinal Nematodes such as whip worms, tape worms, thread worms, pin and hook worms causing havoc to the Endocrine System. These nematodes also produce their own hormones further disrupting the delicate balance of hormones. The Species causing Spondylitis are very hard to detect in tests and often overlooked in stool analysis. Treatment that is usually effective is: Ivermectin & Albendazole Combined, and repeated after several weeks.... Messing with the endocrine system by taking medications to reduce cortisol and blood glucose will further upset the endocrine system. These nematodes rob the body of vital minerals,... damage the digestive tract..., so to the treatment regime should include natural Vitamin, mineral, Trace mineral and natural sea Salt supplementation. And soon followed by a healthy whole food plant based diet.... Animal products should be completely avoided for a period of time to avoid reinfection. This is a simple and cheap treatment anyone can try before looking at other factors....

The stress syndrome is the same

Hummm... My doctor said there are no side effects to this medication. (???) Time for another doctor?

Perhaps your doctor meant that there were no significant side effects if taken properly at the right doses? You should ask him/her about it next time. It is important to have a good patient-doctor relationship where both sides explain everything clearly.
