😎 Letter to Cushies

To all my Cushie friends who are still dealing with this horrible disease, keep fighting, don’t ever give up, you will get better.  I told a very close friend of mine the other day, if I had the power I would heal everyone you today.  Cushing’s is a horrible disease, and unless you have been through it there is no way anyone could ever understand it.

After a year and a half  since my BLA and I am the healthiest, happiest person I have been in a very long time.  I am working out with a personal trainer once a week because I am determined to regain the strength I lost due to having Cushing’s for six very long years.   I have a long way to go and it is not going to happen overnight but it will happen.

I live each day to the absolute fullest and enjoy every minute of every day, I am so grateful to have made it through to the other side, not without some emotional and physical scars, but I made it none the less.

I think about and pray for all of you every day because without your knowledge and support I don’t know that I would have made it.

To those of you who are still on the boards please feel free to share this post and my story to everyone there.  I am sorry I don’t go on the boards any more, but as I said I didn’t make through without some emotional scars.

I love you all, god bless and be good to yourself always.

We’re sharing the story of Annie, who was treated at Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for Cushing Syndrome.

Thanks to the incredible doctors at NICHD & The NIH Clinical Center, she underwent an extremely successful clinical trial and surgery and is now thriving like a child should.
