Looking back Jaron feels is Addison's disease story may have began before 2020 when things started to go downhill.

His story is INCREDIBLY inspiring and needs to be heard.
From near death at 23 years old Jaron shares how he has learned to EVOLVE and RECALIBRATE his life to THRIVE with Addison's Disease.
A message everyone with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY needs to hear and live by.

Thank you, Jill. It's great to have this captured. As his parents, there were some extremely scary moments in those months prior to diagnose. We have learned so much and it creates so much compassion for those who live with a life altering illness. We are so grateful for individuals, like yourself, who give so much to bring understanding to an easily overlooked disease. We still have PSTD every time we drive by the Hospital but are so thankful for their care.

Also in Canada, sick at the same time as you during COVID... Was diagnosed with zero cortisol, atrophied adrenals as well. Lost 20 pounds in two months, had the golden tan, have had a few crises since, etc. Following a somewhat similar journey in my part of the country. I've shared your story with my family and friends to help them better understand.
