Amy Schumer reveals she has Cushing Syndrome and says fans chiming in about her 'puffy' face made her realize 'something was wrong'
Amy Schumer revealed she has Cushing syndrome. The actress, 42, shared her diagnosis in Jessica Yellin's 'News Not Noise' newsletter on Friday, days after fans raised concern.
Symptoms can include weight gain in the face and trunk, a fatty lump between the shoulders, pink or purple stretch marks, frail skin and more. Amy explained her journey to find out her diagnosis: 'While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, 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.' Schumer said that she believed 'a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation,' but she responded to the speculation 'to advocate for self love and acceptance of the skin you’re in.'
