Amy Schumer has Cushing's syndrome
In February of this year, Amy Schumer attended the premiere of the second season of the series Life & Beth. It was then noticed that the actress had a noticeably swollen face. In a conversation with Jessica Yellin for "News Not Noise," she revealed that she suffers from Cushing's syndrome, which is related to elevated cortisol levels in the blood. Symptoms include weight gain and high blood pressure.
- I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up - she recalled.
- I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy [which] was the greatest news imaginable - Schumer said.
