…couldn’t have said it better myself.
I had a normal and very active life until I was diagnosed with a chronic, incurable illness: Dysautonomia. It has forced me to change a lot of things, but I am determined to OVERCOME. I'm using this blog with hopes of inspiring others who suffer from a chronic disease. :)

Dear Hopeful Hillary,
I’ve recently been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos and associated POTS after 15 years of ill health, deteriorating quality of life and more battles with medics than I care to remember. Thank you for your Golden Girls post (and the whole of your inspiring site) and I send you every good wish.

Wow! I was just diagnosed with dysautonomia, 7 months postpartum. The first neurologist that I saw was extremely rude and treated me like a child. He didn’t say this to me, but “kindly” put in my chart that my “extreme laundry list of sensations” were due to “psychosematic illness from PPD and anxiety”. This is exactly what I’m going to say to him, although he’ll probably get in writing and so will his boss
) ! Thanks for sharing!
