Actress and director Amy Schumer has disclosed that she has Cushing's Syndrome, a condition caused by high-dose steroid injections. Schumer made the revelation after facing comments about her appearance, with fans noting a change in her face during recent TV interviews.
Initially attributing the change to endometriosis, Schumer later revealed her Cushing's diagnosis, which she described as leaving her feeling "reborn." She clarified that she has a type of Cushing's that will resolve on its own and expressed relief at being healthy.
Cushing's syndrome occurs when there are elevated levels of cortisol in the body for an extended period. Schumer, known for her roles in various films and TV shows, including Trainwreck and Inside Amy Schumer, mentioned undergoing MRI scans and extensive blood tests due to her condition.
Schumer shared her experience with Jessica Yellin, founder of News Not Noise, after the latter reached out following the online comments about Schumer's appearance. The actress emphasized the importance of her health and expressed gratitude for the support she has received.
In addition to discussing her health, Schumer also reflected on body positivity and the importance of self-acceptance. She urged kindness toward others, highlighting that everyone is dealing with their own struggles.
Schumer's openness about her health struggles, including Lyme disease and now Cushing's syndrome, has been met with support and admiration from fans and health advocates alike.
