Hi. My name is shannon and i have numerous diseases. I needed to type this all down before i lost my mind. I have adrenal hyperplasia. That is where your adrenal glands do not producr cortisal and can not handle even the smallest amount of stress. They have me take steriods so i am contantly gaining weight.I have hypothyriodism where your thyroid does not produce enough hormones. This also makes you gain weight. I have fibromyalsia, a muscle disease that causes intense pain all throughout your body. Imagine a charley horse times 10. I have this all over my body ecspecially my neck, back, chest, and hips. Most people who have this are confinded to their home because of the sevre pain. I have premature ovarian failure, which means that i can not have kids. All i wanted in my life was to have little babies of my own and that has ben stolen from me. My ovaries no longer work so i have not had a period in 5 and 1/2 years. I have poly cystic ovary disease. I get painful cysts on my ovaries constantly, if i needed my pain. I am obsessive complusive. I always have to organize something. When i was three my idea of fun was to go to the doctors and organize the toys in the waiting room. I have insomnia due to the pain caused by the fibromyalsia. And to top it all off i am depressed about my health. Nothing i have is deadly but mind you i am only 16 and i am expected with all these prblems to live a normal life. When i am to tired or in to much pain to get out of bed, i am told that i am faking to get out of school as so many doctors have said to my face. My dad is no better than them. I am called lazy and fat. I do weight 220 but i weighted 115 before i got sick when i was 13. I excercise everyday for 30 min. and all i seem t do is gain. I just dont know how to deal with it all. My diseases have no cure and i will have to face them the rest of my life. Please if you think you could help me in anyway let me know thanks
