Hello, I have some similar symptoms, which increased since getting a severe flu a couple years ago. When I had pink eye, around 2 months prior to that severe flu, I was told I had the adenovirus. I started gaining weight more easily. Although, I wonder if my hormones are out of sack. I’ve never had hormone testing but was put on estrogen many years ago (complement to an SSRI that I was already on) to help with depression. I’m having memory issues too.

Hi,
I understand that you are from Israel? My wife is struggling with Cushing’s as well, and it’s difficult to find people with the same experiences here as I’m sure you know.
