E183 - Bucket List Diagnosis - Ellen's Adrenal Insufficiency Story


Listen Later

For over 4 years Ellen struggled with failing health which led her to wonder if this is the end. Multiple diagnoses and treatments during the pandemic left Ellen often alone and fighting for her health. Symptoms that were physically crippling and reoccurring bouts of abdominal pain, extreme muscle weakness and eventually tan skin and extremely low blood pressure.

With two small children she was unable to take care of and a caring devoted husband Ellen created her BUCKET LIST of things she wanted to experience fearing her end was near.
She was often treated with prednisone as the doctors desperately tried to weed through her symptoms and make her well. A blood test of low cortisol from years early was an important piece of the puzzle when Ellen mentioned it to her doctor.
Quickly referred to an endocrinologist and the rest of the puzzle started to come together. Ellen has ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY.
For only being diagnosed in December of 2023, Ellen has lots of GREAT ADVICE and INSIGHT to this illness. You will feel her struggle and you also feel her hope and renewed strength. Ellen is on her way to living life with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY.
