A member asked:
Can my pcp test me for cushings or would a specialist have to? he agreed i look like i have it but did not test me?

You could see an endocrinologist for evaluation and treatment. The endocrine doctor can perform whatever testing is needed to confirm or rule out Cushing. They can also treat it, if diagnosed. So, see endocrinologist as soon as possible!! Best of luck to you!!

Better to have tested by the specialist through the lab they trust. Many instances, such work up is repeated by the specialist in order to confirm or ruling it out.
