Amazing Kimberly (Adrenal Cushing's)

Mary O'Connor // Cushing's and kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) patient, founder, owner and webmaster of Cushing's Help and Support, web designer, piano teacher and mom.

I am a Cushing's patient who has dealt with Cushing's symptoms and the aftereffects of pituitary surgery since 1983.

Because I had very little support for my symptoms, diagnosis and surgery, I decided to try to make things a little better for other patients and started a support site called Cushing's Help and Support in 2000. The site has grown to astronomical numbers. This disease isn't as rare as doctors have told us!

In 2006, I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). My left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. Having an adrenal gland removed complicates my post-Cushing's symptoms.

I am not planning to have any more rare and unusual diseases.

MaryO'Note: This video was kindly sent to me by Kimberly's husband. He did such a beautiful job putting her images into a video with music. This is another great way to help get the word out about Cushing's. Thanks, Randall!

"The amazing story of Kimberly, whose health began to deteriorate in 1999. A number of unrelated symptoms, including substantial weight gain and fatigue, baffled doctors for over 5 years. She was finally diagnosed with Cushings syndrome in 2005. This video shows her miraculous transition battling through this disease, regaining her health and beauty."
