A lot of people would think blogging about your personal health issues or disease would be too personal, and too revealing.  Why would someone want to reveal personal details about themselves online?

For me, it is not about giving all the dirty details.  It’s about raising awareness, providing support to others with chronic illness, so they know they are not alone.  It’s about the person reading this blog, that thinks they might have Cushing’s, who might get help a little sooner than they would have without reading my story.  It’s for friends and family, so they know what’s going on in my life, with my health, without me having to tell the story over and over again.
