My story

My symptoms began in July 2015 after returning from a vacation with my children. I think the stress might have been a trigger. We had a stressful journey home from vacation.

It took until July 2016 to get a biopsy and diagnosis.

I have not really had any issues except some side effects from the medicine until lately. I do take medicine for blood pressure. Recently, I have begun to get more headaches and my stomach just feels yuck all the time and I am extremely tired. I work out and try to run but get fatigued.

Will redo labs in the next few weeks to see how things are going.

Married with 4 children ages 23, 20, 14, and 5.
