I felt so alone. I felt really lost. I felt completely scared. I didn’t know what was happening, or how to totally manage it. I was losing friends and had loved ones even attacking me because I wasn’t getting better, or showing up for them the way I used to be able to. Even the people I told how sick I was, didn’t understand. They interpreted it as - you have a diagnosis and had treatment, why aren’t you better? Google was even worse... that's how I knew I needed to speak up.

Today's episode tells you more about me - and why I'm doing what I'm doing.

Please don't forget to click that subscibe button whereever you listen to the podcast and do me a HUGE favor and leave a review! These two things help others find the podcast, find our community, and feel a little less alone in their journey through life with chronic illness!
