I found out yesterday that Karen passed on November 20, due to complications associated with Addison's Disease. Karen had been under hospice care since summer. She said it was a true blessing having them taking care of her.

She has & will be missed by many of us here. I know she also participated in 2 online ostomy forums in addition to this forum. She devoted so much of her life helping others.

RIP!!

She made a huge impact on my life. I had almost given up on ever getting off prednisone for systemic inflammation caused by autoimmune diseases. She raised my awareness of adrenal insufficiency and its ramifications. When I told my doctors that was my new focus, things started to happen. I am now taking a biologic medication that seems to work well. Most importantly, my prednisone dose is down to 2mg and I feel well with minimal pain.. There's hope that my adrenal function will recover.
Thank-you Karen
