Forget you

Here it is, Friday's Cushie music video. I'd like to say that I will keep making more but I'm not sure I will still have inspiration. But I will definitely try.
In the mean time, please enjoy this one and feel free to SHARE with as many people as you want/can.
It's important to raise awareness for Cushing's whether it be through a humorous way like this or by talking about the more serious side.

Have a great Friday and weekend!

The Cushie song

Today is Friday and I have an extra special treat for you all. I've been working on this for the last couple of days. It's my first real video project and I did everything from video to audio so please bear with me.

I also wanted to thank those of you who joined and liked our new Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/cushiesunited) and our YouTube channels.

I hope that you will pass all of these links and videos on so that we can all work towards raising awareness for Cushing's.

So for now, enjoy your Friday treat! I wanted to remind people that it's essential to maintain your sense of humour even when life throws you a curve ball.

Day 19: TLSC 4

The lighter side of Cushing's 4


The term BBW refers to Big Beautiful Woman. Unfortunately this term is not widely used or even known as there still seems to be a prevalence/preference for skinny/slim woman. Since suffering from Cushing's I have been every size from 10-26 (UK) and am probably at my heaviest/biggest right now. Though I find this very depressing and I try my hardest to watch what I eat and exercise, there isn't much more I can do about it until my hormones get sorted out. So I'm trying to accept myself and love the BBW I've become. Here are some fun photos and a video by Mika entitled: Big Girls (You are beautiful).

I'm sure you've seen a few of these floating around. The "What others think I do" images which have been created to depict several jobs or situations. Here's a couple on illness:

Day 16: The lighter side of Cushing's

The lighter side of Cushing's (TLSC)


I have a very busy week this week with the last few assignments of my course due soon. Therefore this week will be much lighter posting wise. Because I love to laugh and especially enjoy sarcastic, dry and sometimes even dark humour, I have decided that for the next few days I would post various cartoons, videos, etc. which humorously depict what it's like to have Cushing's (or some other chronic illness). Although these will (hopefully) make you laugh, I also hope that they will make you stop and think a bit more about what it's like being in my shoes. Perhaps you will not find everything funny as some jokes will be so far from what you understand/experience, but I hope you will still enjoy them.

I'd like to start today with the following which really made me laugh out loud:
