Addison's Disease - Rebuilding Life - Education, Medication and Gratitude

A very special episode in THE PICKLE JAR as Mauve joins us on the year anniversary of when she was admitted to hospital after losing her speech during a Zoom call. Unaware at the time that the changes that had been taking place with her body - extreme fatigue, darkening skin, low blood pressure and salt cravings were a cry for help from her failing body. A few days later at the age 30, Mauve was diagnosed with Addison's Disease.

After a lot of harsh lessons from day one with a medical system that was not equipped to manage her new diagnosis, Mauve took matters into her own hands and started learning everything she could about her illness.

Everything from websites to podcasts, to Instagram she became passionate about learning how to live with Addison's disease and rebuild her life.
In the last 365 days, she has conquered surgery, travel, switched endocrinologists, and found a health care team willing to work with her medication to optimize her quality of life and she feels she has returned to 85% of who she is.

An inspiring journey fuelled by education, medication and gratitude.
