Lenise's Story...
Lenise, 22 years old, single mother.
After the birth of my daughter I was breast feeding. I stopped, but did not stop
producing milk. My doctor told me it was normal. So, I ignored it, and the
anxiety, weight gain.
Then I went and saw a different doctor. He ran an MRI and
found a pituitary tumor. That was in June. He sent me to my Endo. She diagnosed
me with Cushing's and sent me to a Neurosurgeon.
I'm now waiting to have surgery. I am tired all the time (I
have a two year old). I've gotten so fat I can hardly move. My face is red all
the time, acne too. I can't sleep at night, and have a hard time staying awake
during the day. I'm getting so tired of being tired it's not even funny.
It's almost been a year now, since I've known, and I really
want something done. I want to feel normal again. I want to have the energy to
play with my daughter. I feel bad for her. It takes all of my energy just to
take care of her all day. I've had some depression with this, mainly because of
the way I look. I used to look good. Not now. I have major issues with anxiety,
I shake all the time. It's like my nerves are shot to you know where. But, I'm
so ready to have this surgery and hopefully get on with my life. I feel like my
life is at a stand still waiting for this surgery. So, wish me luck. God Bless.
