Hypothyroidism, Cushing's and Hashimoto
I was told 6 years ago that I have hypothyroidism by my doc. I have been taking synthroid ever since but my TSH kept going up and they kept adjusting the dose. My fatigue and weight gain were so depressing. I finally went to an endo a couple days ago and not only found out I have Hashimoto's Autoimmune Disease but also maybe Cushing's.
My symptoms are too long to list but does anyone know if there is a link between Hashimoto's and Cushing's? Can someone have both at the same time.

Hashimotos is just another name for hypothyroidism that u had for last 6 years. Endo hasn't diagnosed Cushing's yet. He is suspecting it. And there isnt any correlation between the 2 though both can coexist.
