Amy Schumer has detailed the true reason for her weight loss after the internet horrifically trolled the actor for her appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The comedian has spoken out about her\u00a0Cushing’s syndrome diagnosis<\/a>, which is a condition resulting from prolonged exposure to high levels of the hormone cortisol.<\/p>\n

“I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own\u00a0health<\/a>\u00a0in a system that usually doesn’t believe them,” she said in a previous Instagram video.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome include skin that bruises quickly, having more body fat on your neck and shoulders, thin arms and legs, and a round face, according to the National Institutes of Health.<\/p>\n

Some have linked steroid injections to people developing Cushing’s Syndrome, something which\u00a0Schumer revealed she’d been having<\/a>\u00a0after having treatment to help with her breast reduction and C-section scars.<\/p>\n

Schumer<\/a>\u00a0went on to share on the\u00a0Call Her Daddy<\/em>\u00a0podcast: “So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome \u2014 which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard.”<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old has since provided fans with a further health update and how that’s impacted her weight loss journey.<\/p>\n

Schumer said that despite reports, she lost 50 pounds rather than 30 and said she doesn’t get Botox or filler.<\/p>\n

She said she lost the weight ‘not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary’, adding ‘I did it to survive’.<\/p>\n

Referencing her Cushing’s Syndrome, the actor added: “I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you, but the internet caught it, and the disease has cleared.”<\/p>\n
