Thank you for taking the time to be interviewed! It was great having the opportunity to get to know you better. I'm sure the rest of the Mayo Connect community will find inspiration and help from your story as they read it! Finding help for a rare diagnosis is difficult at best and we can all be encouraged by the way you pursued help.
By the way, I love the picture, the landscape is outstanding.

I did notice one important miss-print in my answer to question 3. It should read "I don't want to be defined by my health issues", not "do want". What I mean by that is I prefer for others not to focus on my health. I am more than my health issues.
Hope is what pulled me though some of my darkest times and perhaps stories of my successes will inspire others to feel hopeful and not give up.
