Does anyone else have these sympton?

[teri223]

My son's symptoms are many.  The doctors cannot figure out what it is....He has extreme fatigue, high blood pressure, irregular pulse rate, questionable thyroid test results, pink and purple stretch marks on his abdomen, frequent urination, weight gain, eyesight has worsened, and memory issues.  He is being referred to an Endocrinologist.  Does any of this match someone elses symptoms?  If so, what could this be?

Is your son developing a hump on the top of his back or moon shaped round face?  Is he fatigued a lot?   These are more cushings symptoms.   He needs to have ACTH and the supression test.  Also needs a 24 hour urine test to check for abnormal cortisol in the urine.   Not sure where you are located but these are basic tests, or members on here can suggest Endo for you.

I have the exact same symptoms, along with a swollen neck, hands, ankles, and puffy face.
I am still battling ignorant doctors that insist it cant be thyroid or cushings because i am a young male and my Thyroxine levels are barely wihin the lowest range.

Hope you have better luck than I have so far :)

Hi, purple stretch marks on the abdomen, with high BP , can be an indicator of cushings disease, were by you produce to much cortisol.
You need an endo for this, so your son gets further testing,
Im no doctor so dont take my word for it, but cushings could be a likely cause.
Hope this is off some help
Take care, Nicola

"pink and purple stretch marks on his abdomen"

- that is not thyroid, goggle it, as it is something, forgot , sorry. The endo should know.

Some of that other stuff could be.
