What happens when two new friends chat about the diagnosis of Addison's Disease? They share and can relate to each other in ways ONLY people living with adrenal insufficiency can. And this episode speaks volumes!

Margot shares her diagnosis of Addison's Disease in 2013 after years of being told it was "ALL IN HER HEAD", and fighting the progression of what she refers to as "BIOLOGICAL EXHAUSTION". The physical exhaustion that rest never resolves.

Feeling like she was living the movie GROUNDHOG DOG...all she wanted was to feel better. Hyperpigmentation, extreme weight loss, crippling fatigue, unable to regulate her body temperature led to her fear of going to sleep on not waking up. Repeated patterns over the years of symptoms that fell on deaf ears in the medical community.

One night feeling as if she was having a heart attack she ended up in the ER. Dismissed again by the ER nurse as Margot desperately sought care. Extremely low blood pressure FINALLY made her story legitimate. The ER doctor quickly recognized she had ADDISON'S DISEASE.

The goal was a 40 minutes episode but when friends share and relate it turns into 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Listen, watch, relate, share, laugh and cry with my new friend Margot.
