Summary
Amy Schumer opens up about her surprising health journey, revealing she developed Cushing syndrome after steroid injections — complete with a dramatic “moon face” that even showed up on set — and how online chatter helped her notice it. She also recalls her rocky experience with Wegovy, which left her violently nauseous, and notes the formula may have changed since her trial. Earlier this year, she turned to affordable telehealth service Midi Health to find a treatment she could recommend to friends in nursing and teaching — jobs where insurance often doesn’t cover these meds. Schumer highlights the steep cost barrier, pointing out insurance typically only covers such drugs for diabetics or severely obese patients — a fact she jokes the internet seems to misunderstand about her.
