All About Diana

My name is Diana, and I have Angioedema, Type III.

….crickets….

Whoops.  Thought I was at an AA meeting therefore a minute.  :)

I am 33 years old and live with wonderful husband, Jeff, in the Camden area of Minneapolis.  I am the proud mama to two cats, Boris (12) and Checkers (12) and a hedgehog, Furrow (about 18 months).

I work in the disability area of a non-profit organization that I don’t want to name in case they turn out to be litigious.  I don’t love my job, but I’m fond of the paycheck, so I continue to show up.  Last summer, due to the frequency of flares, I went on FMLA for the purposes of working 30 hours a week, and will probably go on full disability within the next few months.

When I’m not working, sleeping, or swelling, I like to read, knit, putz around my beautiful little house, and do other various crafting/hanging out with friends things.

Wow.  I sound dull.  Hopefully this is not true in real life.  :)

    Diana,

    I am very impressed by your story but even more so by your telling of it.

    I am putting together a series of medical education pieces and would like to inquire if you would be willing to share your pictures and details to help us illustrate this very rare disease to practitioners. We would certainly give you as much or little credit as you would like. high resolution images would be most helpful as we are doing a series of posters that are large scale.

    Robert
