At age 14 my roller-skating days came to a quick stop. I began to bruise without any reason and experienced joint pain. I was very irritable and depressed but kept to myself and didn't share my feelings with anyone. I was diagnosed with ADHD but it became increasingly more difficult to concentrate and to keep up my grades. My weight gain topped at 125# and my depression bottomed out. I tried to commit suicide because I felt there was no way out. I was finally diagnosed in January of 1996 and had a bilateral adrenalectomy in February. We were not aware of laparoscopic options. I will be on hormone replacements permanently and feel about 90% me again! Please give my name and address to others who would like to call or write, particularly anyone close to my age. I really enjoy reading your newsletter.
