Hi  my name is Nicola and I’ve been sick since October of 2017.
I kept gaining weight around my face and lower belly despite not eating due to a horrible flu and sinus infection type sickness where I hardly ate for 2 months.
My doctor gave me anti depression meds, sleep apnea tests, hiv test and told me that I was just not active or eating healthy enough. I swore I had pneumonia as I could hardly stay awake and was so so weak. I had a car accident in 7/17 and so I had prednisone and that is when my symptoms started.
I have also been on hydrocortisone trigger point and epidural injections since then and kept feeling worse and worse.
I am trying to cope with constant sinus infections and still juggle work and my family.
I am 40 lbs heavier and I choose between working out, cooking healthy or functioning at work. The cold Colorado weather is like stabbing me with a million tiny  knives.
My family thinks I’m being dramatic and my boyfriend thinks that I can still work out 4-6 days a week as I did before my car accident.
At this point I’m trying not to cry or mourn the loss of my healthy lifestyle- I’m literally fighting for my life.
I’m just going to get my official diagnosis and then do all I can to recover.
God bless everyone and I pray that we get better super fast.
My cushing Dr has been a bit abrasive with me. But I will keep you posted.
