A member asked:

Took corticosteroid longer then recommended , excessive urination 2 months could my cortisol levels be a mess without visually looking like cushing's?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Still taking Rx?: You do not have to look like you have Cushing syndrome to have Cushing syndrome. If you are not taking corticosteroids now, you may not have it however. A likely explanation has to do with blood sugar, not cortisol. Taking corticosteroid may raise your blood sugar, and this can lead to you needing to urinate more often. A simple test could be a urinalysis first.
