I have been recently diagnosed with cushings disease, and im frightened. I have never heard of this before until now. Does anyone out there have advice for what I can expect?!?!?

Thomas... Is it being caused by a tumor? I am sure this is scary but cushings is very treatable. find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Once they remove the tumor, if thats the cause, you should recover. My husband had to take cortisol shots after the surgery but he recovered fine.
My prayers are with you...
Same with me. Do not know yet, have they done a scan, 24hr urine test, blood tests for certain things. Infact I have heard of salvia tests too. Good luck, I am also waiting to hear about a adrenal gland tumor, cushing could be a factor not sure yet. also look under john hopkins they have a great website, and many more will pop up. god bless
