Cushing's syndrome is where your body makes too much stress hormone (cortisol)
It is a progressive illness that leads to weight gain, extreme tiredness, and high blood pressure which can be quite dangerous over prolonged periods. A telltale sign that appears with Cushing's are the bright purple tiger stripes (stretch marks) on the abdomen.
Many people struggle to lose weight, and end up with further stress as they are told to lose weight for health (or treated as if the weight is the cause), but cannot due to the illness itself. Stress with Cushing's can further exacerbate the illness and even lead to a person's death. Kindness first!

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our Plushie Dreadfuls. We take these topics seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical representations, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.

Beware of imitations and copycats
I fell in love with this Bunny on sight . So darn cute. I myself do not have Cushings, but I wanted this bunny regardless. I love it.
I got this as a gift and it made me feel so seen, I've been struggling with Cushings disease for years. It's well made, soft and so cute
Got two of these as presents and both people loved their gift, this one is really cute and soft in person.
This plushie is not only how I found out what Cushing's was but that I had it. It typically affects more women than men so it's no surprise that I went without a diagnosis for so long but it has taught me a lot about myself specifically about my weight
Took a long time to arrive- but ultimately worth it. She’s beautiful.
