Life Before Graves' Disease

This photo clearly shows the life in my eyes and my soft skin that still requires more hydration.

Graves' Disease is a horrible illness that can alter your appearance and steal whatever life and energy that you have.

I was unemployed in this photo but I still remained fairly active and was recovering from Iron Infusions and flare-ups that impacted my immune system.

I had just bought the only home 🏡 I probably will ever own, and I enjoyed doing this photo shoot inside of that now sold residence.

I had no idea that I would face worst health issues and I regret not having the female reproductive surgery that was recommended while I was in the hospital just several months before.

My life now and then would have improved as there would have not been any desire of a career, marriage or the deception that all females can get pregnant under adverse circumstances, especially poor immune development and imbalances in my hormones.

I wish I knew my villain was really Graves' Disease and not Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Arthritis, Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia and Infertility.

Now I know my villains true name, I know I remain dumb, and unable to defend myself. Like most uncertainties in life...there is no cure.
