I always manage to miss August 7th, my anniversary for the second brain surgery to remove that stupid tumor. To be fair, I was writing a short story all day so it wasn’t for nothing. It’s been 5 years (16 since the first op) and I’m remaining positive. While in Scotland I had my levels checked regularly (thank you free healthcare) and they were amazingly low (even at my most stressful moments in grad school). I believe I’ve figured out my body and what I need to do to keep it healthy. Scotland helped with that- but I’m just grateful to still be 100% healthy. Stay strong my fellow cushies, and anyone suffering from a hard disease. You got this ❤️🫶🏻 • • • #cushings #cushingsdisease #pituitarytumorawareness #myhealthjourney #health #anniversary (at Virginia Beach, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDdWxwu5-j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Before and After pics of my pituitary tumor removal. Doc says there is still some of the growth left, but they got as much as possible without causing any damage to my carotid arteries. #grateful #thankful #pituitarytumor #pituitarytumorawareness #pituitaryadenoma #lomalindava #lomalinda #california (at Loma Linda, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2QfDED8dD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u3oaf5xjekqu

1. I love this mirror. I always look great in it & it was $10. 2. I have FINALLY done it. I reached my goal size of US12. I can wear my old jeans from 2014 again. I feel more confident. But I’m not done. I’ve reached my first mile stone, but the journey isn’t over. Now I’m adding back in my weight lifting & vitamins routine (vs cardio & eating whatever). Here’s to the next chapter 🍻 . #• • • • • #cushingsdisease #cushings #cushingssyndrome #pituitarytumorawareness #pituitaryadenoma #pituitarytumor #myweightlossjourney #myweightlossstory #myhealthjourney #progress #nextchapter #success #weightloss (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZQCrDdI9YU/?utm_medium=tumblr

I actually used my upper body strength to lift myself, and I was impressed. I would have never posted these years ago, but I love these photos. I’m happy and healthy, and that’s all that matters. Love yourself & be proud of your progress. • • #cushingsdisease #cushingssyndrome #behappy #pumkinpatch #scotland #hay #myjourney #progress #happiness #pituitarytumorawareness #pituitaryadenoma #pituitarytumor #healthylifestyle #live https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvPDn5BF2Z/?igshid=1qcbgxk5msh38

Day one of Ovasitol. For all my #pcosfighters and #cysters -what are your experiences? Good? Bad? Great? As I sit here with a monster cyst on my left ovary (among all the smaller guys) all I can think is that I'm just really looking forward to seeing what this can do. I'm still on all my other meds, but I definitely have high hopes on this one. Will do a follow up. Stay tuned! #ovasitol #inositol #pcos #pcosfighter #pcoswarrior #polycysticovariansyndrome #polycysticovaries #chronicpain #invisibleillness #chronicbeautyblog #hopeful #spoonie #spooniestrong #cysters #cyster #pituitarybraintumor #pituitarytumor #pituitarytumorawareness #prolactinoma #pituitaryadenoma #invisibleillnessawareness #hypothyroid #hypothyroidism #hypothyroidfighter #hypothyroiddisease #keepthefaith #fightlikeagirl 💪🏽💜
