    How do you diagnose chushings and what symptoms show

    Cushings can it be brought on by a hormone in a miranda coil?

    Cushings Disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally increased secretion of adrenocortical steroids (natural to our bodies) particularly cortisol, caused by increased amounts of a hormone called ACTH which is secreted by the pituitary.

    Symptoms include accumulations of fat on the abdomen, chest, upper back, and face and occurrence of edema (swelling), hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) muscle weakness, purplish bumps on the skin, decreased immunity to infection, osteoporosis, acne, and facial hair growth in women.

    I doubt that Cushings can be caused by the coil.
