About Me
I am single. Live with my sister in a log cabin in Kentucky. Worked for many years managing businesses, physician contracting, and starting new physician practices. In 2004, I became deathly sick and was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. Had to move at that point.

can relate to you on losing everything at the same time. I living with family too and no husband for support, no job and dealing with this depression. Leaving the house is pretty much an effort, have to hide the way i feel sometimes, kinda like smiling on the outside but crying on the inside. feeling like a clown.

Close Addison's Disease
For about ten years I had bouts of severe fatigue and could not get out of bed. When I had these episodes, would go to doctor and they said, "You are overworked, slow down." Oftentimes they would add -- ARE YOU DEPRESSED? Finally, in September of 2004, I was so sick that I had resigned that I was dying. ER doc did cortisol test and saw that my levels were 0.4. Have had many adrenal crises since that time. My husband (a doctor) couldn't handle my disease and abandoned me. I had to have help so my sister drove up, picked me up, and moved me in with her. In about two weeks I lost my marriage, my home, my in-laws, church, friends, and everything in my life -- in the middle of an adrenal crisis. That was five years ago. I have worked hard at rebuilding my life and learning to love myself with addison's. Some days are good. Some are more challenging.
