My Diagnosis

I was very lucky. My skin, my weight loss, anxiety,  just getting over Mono at the age of 34 and a pretty smart Family Practice Dr. diagnosed me before my results came back. Sad thing is I was working for a family practice dr and hate to complain but told him for 6 months something was wrong. I lost 30 lbs, my skin was darkening, I was so Short of Breath just rolling over in bed took it all from me. My doctor needed me to work so he dismissed it as depression/anxiety.. told me to go see a pysch. This photo was taken two days before I was diagnosed. I can't remember levels but I remember an ACTH of 2500. I was sick. 

What started out as a photography blog......

Has become a Journal i.pray one day my girls will read and maybe understand somethings there Mama went thru, its also about being diagnosed w a chronic illlness that affects your.daily life and hopefully thru my experiences and the experiences of my fellow AddisonIans maybe we can help just one.person. Let me make.myself clear....i am.far from expert. I still.rely on my friends for.answers.and comfort. I still battle.this daily. But with Christ beside.you if you'll allow him and be obedient to.his word, all things will work out to the glory of God.
