This is not easy to write, but I have met so many wonderful friends on here...
First of all, I received my medical results this morning. While I have had Mild Parkinsons for the past two years, my ACTH blood tests were positive. What does this mean? A diagnosis of Addison's Disease. This would explain for weightloss, lethargy, weakness, tiredness, and the snycope episodes (from low blood pressure). At least it is not any type of cancer. They are going to start me on glucocorticoid hormones and fludrocortisone acetate. They still are not sure if this is primary or secondary to something else. Maybe someday I will be able to ride again...maybe in a year or two. This disease is treatable but can be life-threatening due to the low blood pressure. I also did not tell you that during all of this going on, my wife...Misty (whom you all have come to know), left me and moved back to Texas with her parents (she couldnt deal with all of this). This left me alone during most of this time and I lost a lot of work. While many of you had posted I was the luckiest guy when we posted some of her pictures...one lesson to all of you: Be appreciative and thankful of what you have and things can turn on a dime quickly. Be appreciative of your wife/girlfriend, family, and health. I now come home to face my disease alone which also brings a lot of sadness. The medical bills and medicines are very expensive so this probably played a role in why she left...as well as I also used all my paid time off and lost a lot of pay. I thank you for all of your prayers and support.
Donald Barnwell...thank you so much for your paypal gift to go towards my medicines and medical tests. It is probably one of the greatest gifts I have ever experienced...knowing someone whom I have never met, donated $100.00 via PayPal to help me with my medical needs. You have true character and to this forum, you are truly an asset. I appreciate you more than you will ever know during this difficult time for me.
I will try to keep touch on here but for those of wish to email me, you may do so anytime. I always appreciate the emails and support. You are all some of the greatest friends anyone could ever ask for.
Sincerely,
Jeff Dickey
