My brother has been facing obesity problems for over 2 years. Even after multiple visit to various specialist we never understand what was happening with his body. Because of this video, we checked his cortisol levels and found out that it is 5 times the normal range. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE VIDEO. Hopefully an endocrinologist will be able to help us out. Once again thanks a lot
We are so glad we could be helpful! We wish your brother the best.
+Jeff, we'd love to hear how you found Osmosis and what specifically in the video helped you all. We hear positive comments from family members and patients each day and would like more of them to have experiences like yours. Can you please email us at hi@osmosis.org?
I've been having similar suspicions with my girlfriend. As a medical student it occurred to me one day that she may have several symptoms. Thus I'm here trying to see if testing is justified or if im being paranoid.
@@Nocturnalzyx the absolute clear sign will be the hump on the back of the neck, just at shoulder level. But other signs are stretch marks purple strae around the waste. Round face.
Now have fun finding some one who will treat it correct. very hard to treat or they just don't want to bother if you don't have the money.
I got this topic at my endocrinology exam. My professor was really strict and failed many colleges of mine. Luckily I passed:) Your videos are awesome and really helpful. May all of you pass your medical exams 🤯🥳
Congratulations on passing your exam! We're glad to be of help!
Lols can we all take a moment to appreciate the ninja detail please

Oh crap thanks
Yes!
i instantly dropped a like after that animation , that was brilliant
Can Anyone tell me is there any vedio of ninja Nerd on Addison's disease and Cushing syndrome? 😔
I seriously needed this explanation on “how” cortisol induces all the symptoms of Cushings syndrome. thanks!!
It's been 3 years since I know something's wrong and I had to persuaded multiple doctors to do some tests (diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroidism...) that all turned out negative.
And today someone mentioned the Cushing Syndrome and it was scary accurate. Scary. Period.
Thank you for this video that helped me a lot to helped me to be better informed and reassured me (a little). Be insistent on your health, be patient and last but not least, be kind to yourself 💖
I definitely have known something is going on but most drs only give you 5-6 minutes of their time and throw a precription on you and then on to the next patient. I am now doing my own research. I think I found the issue...cushing 😳🧐🕵️🕵️
@@auntiezmobileeatzofficial3387 if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. Today is 10 years since my lung surgery. There's far more to it than I've ever seen all my research. Good luck finding out what's going on. I know it's scary.
@@Iachaullaw 🆘 EMERGENCY 🆘 I have not small sale, lung cancer , I was 159 pounds now weigh 129 pounds I was on immunotherapy called KETRUDA , it is attacking my adrenal gland and my upper kidney.. during the pet scan it’s lighting up. It has some kind of light on it… my symptoms are I cannot go to sleep cannot… my body is tightening up. I’m very thirsty and I can’t get enough to drink.. I felt better with the salt water. My kidneys hurt. Very bad now.. I have headaches. sometimes stomachache the runs I go poo a lot and I have no hair on my private area anymore under my armpits and no eyelashes I’m so weak and then I was on 2.5 mg of, prednisone now I’m on 5 mg. I’m still taking the potassium and they started me on thyroid medicine. I’ve been on the thyroid medicine for whole week and no change in anyway they stopped the immunotherapy treatments which was working. My cancer was almost all done all erase we didn’t do anything for it for months, and then it went into the upper, both upper lobes of the lung left lobe lung and both of the lower lobe lung so now I’m doing radiation and doctor say the radiation does not hurt, but it does and you could feel them taken out the cancer if they took my prednisone away I would be dead I went into some kind of emergency thing where I had to have water. My sugar level is at 50 I’m weak, without my prednisone I cannot walk I’m so sick that I think that I am going to stop the treatments and just die. The kids are hurts very very bad. The doctor told me that you cannot feel cancer because there’s no sales or anything but once it gets in your muscles, you really can fill it, I’m so weak and then sometimes I sweat sometimes I’m very cold. Sometimes I’m very mad and sometimes are really sad and I cry for absolutely no reason I’m very hyper hyper sensitive. I wanted to tell you what I was going through so that nobody else would go through it, and if you have lung cancer, let me tell you in so much pain. It feels just like somebody kicked you. It’s it feels like somebody beat. You literally beat you and kicked you. I’ve lost a lot of weight my stomach I cannot see close up or medium anymore but I can still see far awayI think that’s the only symptoms that I have I crave salt and I can’t get enough. The pickle juice helps salty pickle juice. I highly recommend that because it will make you feel a lot better. I’m up all night most of the day and then I crash I go into the deepest, deepest sleep where I don’t dream. I hope you can help us.
The best website for medical learning i had read about cushions for about 6 years and it’s the first time I actually understand it
I knew when I saw the ninja that this was going to be an awesome video. I was not disappointed.

6:39 can we just take a moment to appreciate the smiley face on the kidneys lol
I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues with no clear answers. One doctor accused me of seeking attention. But these things are happening to me. Someone mentioned Cushing’s syndrome and it’s crazy how accurate this is to what I’ve been going through. I just got tested for cortisol levels and I’m currently waiting on the results. Fingers crossed I finally have an answer.
Ok Karen
I hope you got the answer you were looking for
Did u find your answer?
Highly unprofessional to say that you were attention seeking when you were clearly suffering. I attended a first aid course once and the trained professional was asked about panic attacks and she said that it was basically attention seeking. I was getting panic attacks regularly but far from seeking attention, I hid it away, feeling shame and fear. Nowadays, thankfully, we know far more. Health professionals should be better trained in what they say.
@@linaj63Karen 😂😂
I was under high levels of stress for 15 years, working night shifts the whole time with a family. If I could get 4 hours of sleep a night that was a good sleep, even though I might get woken up 2 or 3 times in that 4 hours. I honestly was so stressed I couldn't sleep and any little startle or inconvenience would make my kidneys and lower back ache and pulsate like a toothache.
Now, my life is the complete opposite. I work days, have little to no work stress, kids have gotten older and are pretty independent now and I feel constantly exhausted 😆. We thought maybe it would take a year to get back to normal it's been over 2 and my energy levels are still quite low. Need to try and get my body to not run on stress, cortisol, caffeine and anger lol.
THIS VIDEO NEEDS A ROUND OF APPLAUSE♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ AND APPRECIATION
I am in the process of being diagnosed with Cushing's. I return my salvia test today. I have already had 3 other exams and taken altogether along with the salvia test I am that much closer to a cure. I don't let fear take a hold of me. I hang on tightly to hope that there is a 80% cure rate. Right now I am excited and nervous to face the truth. I have been suffering from this for at least 10 years and it has taken that long to get this close to hopes of remission.
I hope you got a diagnosis one way or the other. How are you doing?
@@tonyh9970 Not great. TBH
@@amymuchko7106 I'm sorry for that. Were you able to get a diagnosis? 2 days ago was my 10 year anniversary since my surgery. I had the carcinoma in my right lung. The cushings symptoms went away but quality of life has gotten worse. I had to close my business and get on disability. It feels like it never ends. Whatever it is you're feeling, both physically and emotionally, just know that you're not alone. I really hope things get better for you.
@@tonyh9970 Thank you so much. ♥️
@tonyh9970 When your cushings symtoms went away, why than has your quality of life gotten worse?
Thanks
By far the best lesson of Cushing Syndrome I have ever watched. Thanks a lot for the effort.
Wow, thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼
YOU ARE THE BOMB!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS PAGE!! 💋
Thank you so much for this amazing explanation ,keep up the good work
You guys are definitely the best love your precious work thank you all
Thanks for this video. It's super informative and non-judgmental. As someone who is trying to figure out their health right now, this was very helpful! Makes me less scared to go back to the endocrinologist.
Please make a video about Acromegaly as well.
P.S - I loved this video.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Nursing student here, just power-cramming.
This is brilliant! Thank you so much!
Really good work thanks
You summarized all what's important and explained it so nicely keep going please
It's absolutely amazing, nice explanation in 13.42 mins
A friend who is now in his 60s has multiple health issues from what we think was massive over prescribing of corticosteroid cream to treat eczema from ages five to eighteen. Some of his health problems are so serious and debilitating that he has been unable to work full time in the past thirty years.
wonderful video, incredible images. Great job!
Wow, great video, very clear and engaging, thank you!
Its amazing how far youve come in these years. I used to watch your videos when i was a med student back in 2015...These videos have become much more detailed now especially the videos one ach virus. Keep it up and thank you for helping the millions of other med students for free
thanks for such an in depth description
What can be done for high cortisol levels especially at night when it is supposed to be lowest? Like not being able to sleep at night at all? And being exhausted all day long but still can't even fall asleep during the day? I have to take Trazadone but I'm still not getting the correct type of sleep.
Hope u guys can update more lovely videos like this, it's so helpful for everyone
You people have done a great job..

Even though this results in less endogenous cortisol production it still doesn’t quite compensate for the huge levels of exogenous cortisol, and that causes Cushing syndrome to develop...... SHOULDN'T IT CAUSE ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY?
Thank you for such an Awesome information
❤
This lecure is on my exam i hope to explain as good as you learned me..!!!

Indeed. That's why we generally try to show it referenced to a brain to avoid confusion. Did you know that if you like & review us on Facebook then you’ll get access to our videos a day before they’re published on TH-cam? Check it out here: bit.ly/2u35D6J
bgbzero same here too😂
they are the balls of the brain.. brain's balls or "BB" hhhh
it look like it thoug:D
My professor once told me to draw male genitalia, he said that it was a horse genitalia
Brilliant explanation, thank you. You are a genius!! However, I want to say that Lipoprotein lipase does not help adipocytes to accumulate more fats, it actually breaks down the fats (mainly triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids).
What's the cause of the obesity if the lipolysis is increased?
Fabulous job, thanks for helping us medicos out and makings stuffs more memorable with osmosis..
Our pleasure to help, Guru! 😊
Dang, I wish I saw this earlier. That was a good recap of some parts of my lecture and I understand it a lot better now. Thanks.

hoo boy this explains my entire life. I need to get to the doctor, stat!
Superb explanation
My doctor scheduled me for a dexamethasone injection (because I have high cortisol & high acth). Thanks for providing information in a easy to digest manner, I find learning more reduces my anxiety.
We're glad that our video helped, Shannon! 🙏🏼
This video is not all there is. Follow your doctor's treatment plan
Great video👏👏💜
Osmosis is the best channel💜
U make medicine sooo easy..thanks a lot.
Hi richa
medicine?
Wow! I wish I came across this before my diagnosis! Thanks for the education 😊
You're welcome! Glad to be of help 😊
I cant express how i feel right now, i had Herpes virus for years with no hope of getting cured until i came across Dr.Anii on TH-cam who cured me with his herbal medication completely, kindly contact him for help.
Were you diagnosed with cushings?
Hi @@tonyh9970 yes I had an adrenalectomy a year ago. I documented my journey on my channel if you want to check it out
@@lifestylesofthechronicallyill I'd like that. I had a carcinoma in my right lung. Sat was 10 years since the surgery. Can you give me the link or do I just search your name. How are you feeling now?
That has got to be the cutest looking kidneys I've seen. Thank you for the video!
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST
Excellent and in-depth presentation, thank you. My wife has some of these symptoms which has plagued her for years, for which she has recently sought medical attention, but so far no doctor has ever suggested Cushing Syndrome. Recently, she had a ton of diagnostic tests performed via blood, urine, etc, and I will research the tests that target her cortisol levels to see if C.S. is a suspect. Thanks again for such an informative, though highly technical presentation!
: )
We hope that this has been helpful! 🙏🏼
great work >>> im a big fan of ur videos
Excellent video!
Bravo!
Thank you, Sharleen! Cheers! 😊
plz make a video on thyroid (hyper ,hypo)
