Hi, I have a rare disease called Hypoparathyroidism. I'm inspired by your stories on Autism. I have known a few people with autism. In fact a good friend of mine has a son that has it.

In my disease is very rare. I joined our Hypoparathyroidism Association and it changed my life.

I lived a nightmare of a story but I had learned about an amazing doctor her name is Doctor Karen Winer out of National Institute of Health out of Bestheda, Maryland.

It has been truly a miracle.

Prior to NIH I was having seizures, severe tetany, terrible brain fog or confusion, muscle twitches, spasms.

If I had not gone to NIH I would have ended up in psych ward most likely and or nursing home.

Since NIH I have had many posititive things happen.

In June I will be meeting with Senator MIke Enzi talking about Hypoparathyroidism and issues important to our association. I'm so excited. I maybe on tv on another show.

I really hope you will consider this story. It is finally getting accross people. i want to tell my story as others have with other diseases and conditions such as autism.

I want to share what we have gained with meeting with Senator Mike Enzi.

Since going to NIH I have relocated and have completely become independant again.

I'm going back to college as well to finish what I started years ago.

I hope you will do this story. I will send more information.
