Amy Schumer is opening up about her health.
The comedian made headlines earlier this month after several people commented on her appearance while promoting the new season of her show “Life & Beth.” At the time, she admitted that her face was “more swollen than normal,” but she has now revealed that she has been diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome.
Specifically, she has extrinsic Cushing’s syndrome. This is caused when a person takes large amounts of synthetic steroids over a long period of time. Schumer also has endometriosis, which she said can be treated with these steroids.
