Hey guys! This is a video about my journey with an autoimmune disease called Addison's (Adrenal Insufficiency). I was diagnosed on February 28th of 2019. It was a day that changed my life forever. I haven't been very vocal about my disease thus far because I didn't want people to pity me and I didn't think anyone would care what I have to say. However, I've finally come to a place where I’ve fully accepted this as a part of my story and I feel like a lot of people would benefit from hearing my story.
Addison's is a very deadly disease that if not caught early, can very easily end up taking your life. My goal in making this video is first and foremost to raise awareness for the disease and secondly to give hope to others who I share this illness with. Statistically, only 1 in 100,000 people have Addison's. I hope that this video finds the people who need to see it and that it helps others recognize the signs and symptoms early on so they don't have to get to the point that I did. Even if this video helps just one person, it will have been worth it.
Thank you all so much for watching, it really means a lot to me. Please share this video with family and friends so that together we can raise awareness for Addison's Disease!
