Amazing Kimberly: A video tracing her journey with Cushing's Syndrome

"For five years the doctors found nothing wrong"


On her blog, Cushing's and Cancer, MaryO shares the story of Kimberly, a Cushing's Syndrome survivor. She says:
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!



On the YouTube site Kimberly's husband, Randal, says:

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.

Kimberly, you go, girlfriend!!! Randal, thank you for sharing. I hope this will help others to be diagnosed sooner and easier.
