E175 - "CAT"-ASTROPHIC Diagnosis with Addison's Disease 

Michelle's journey with ADDISON'S DISEASE started 4 years before she was diagnosed. She led a healthy active lifestyle. Her first symptom was aching joints and a rapid 10 lb weight loss on an already lean body. As time progressed she was overcome with fatigue and being nauseous.
When Michelle lost her beloved CAT it led her down a 'cat'-astrophic path. After days of grieving her loss, Michelle NOW did not have the strength to get out of bed. The emotional stress of the loss took much for her adrenal glands to manage. Her body was giving up.
A previous health diagnosis led to an alert doctor to test her cortisol and recommend an endocrinologist. She was quickly diagnosed with PRIMARY ADDISON'S DISEASE.
Along the journey, she has been blessed with a family and medical team who take the seriousness of her illness seriously and hold her quality of life as a high priority.
Michelle is now LIVING a full life with Addison's Disease.
