 Hi!

I'm Hannah, I'm a homeschooled highschool student currently working on finishing up my Sr. year. That aside I'm also an amatuer photographer, graphic designer, critter lover and an artist. 

A little bit about my medical stuff....

Shortly after I turned seven my medical "saga" began. In 2003 I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis and Ulcertive Colitis, and have since then been treated with various drugs to "keep under control" but my symptoms never went away. I was also  diagnosed with severe persistant daily migranes in 2011, and after visiting several different doctors none of them had any clue as to what caused them, I was perscribed several different perscriptions which either didn't do anything or gave me horrible side effects. Over the years I've also had problems with athsma, joint pain and acne. All the doctors I saw said that my medical issues were not related, instead they just perscribed more and more pills. It wasn't until almost a year ago that I learned about Celiac Disease and all the other diseases that can share a connection with it or be caused by it. Since then I have been eating a completely Gluten Free Diet and my symtoms have completly vanished!! I've been off of all my medications and have not had one single flare up since. I feel like a completely different person, finally have energy to do the things I want to and don't have to be worried about being slown down by the aweful things that go along with my diseases. I've also been able to successfully loose about 30lbs over the summer, which seemed almost impossible a year ago.
