Patient Stories

I am not actually a warrior. I am the daughter of one. And I’m here to get the caregivers to tell their story. My mom was diagnosed with Hypoparathyroidism in November 1998. I was born August 1999, just 9 months later. So I was actually born thanks to my moms Hypopara. I really don’t know any different. My whole Life it seems my mom was always taking calcium or having a calcium crash or just sick. She is sick a lot. I never really understood that not everyone takes so much calcium or has calcium crashes. I just know sometimes my mom was too sick to do things. I mean she always tried her best. I was a competitive cheerleader and that meant travel every weekend for 3 months each year. She was always in the crowd and I always made sure to find her.

She had a calcium crash that landed her in the Er for a few weeks. I was at camp but even when I came home I didn’t visit her.

And I see her helping others. So this message is for all the caregivers. To share your story. Because it’s not easy. I’ve been watching and living it my whole life. And now my life path is to help people. I’m going to start chiropractic school this summer and hoping to help those who need my help. Stay safe and healthy and keep being inspirational warriors!
