with thinking of the hair on her head,
spontaneous bruising, muscle weakness,
and a recent diagnosis of diabetes. She has
been taking prednisone (Deltasone) for the
past 3 months. The physical examination
reveals that Monica has developed a
"buffalo hump" on her shoulder and red
striae on her abdominal and underarm
areas. Her blood pressure is also elevated,

provider has diagnosed Monica with
Cushing's syndrome related to her
prednisone use. Monica will be withdrawn
from the prednisone and started on
immunosuppressant therapy.
