🎤 Mary O’Connor (MaryO) second archived interview with Robin Smith (staticnrg)

April 10, 2019April 10, 2019 MaryO Interviews, Meetings and Conferences BlogTalkRadio, Interview

Robin had Cushing’s for over 20 years, at least. Of course, no one figured it out or even put two and two together until her new PCP whom she found in 2004 said “endocrine”. She didn’t figure it out, either, but at least Robin had a piece of the puzzle and she found cushings-help.com. Robin immediately went into denial and left for several months until she got so sick she knew she had to have help. She had originally sought this PCP because she had been going to all sorts of doctors.
