“Triumph is often nearest when defeat seems inescapable.” [B.C. Forbes]
Hi. I’m a writer, musician, big dreamer, deep thinker, science nerd, and … a Dysautonomia patient.
My life was very busy and active until I was diagnosed with this chronic, incurable illness.
.
.
BUT, I AM DETERMINED TO GET BETTER.
.
.
Here, I will be blogging about my life with a chronic illness – symptoms, experiences, advice, positivity, and encouragement in hopes of inspiring other people who struggle with chronic diseases.
Comment, e-mail me, subscribe – and I will get back to you. If you’re reading, or you can relate, I’d love to know who you are.
Thanks for stopping by. Maybe you’ll find a little bit of hope from reading Overcoming: Life with a Chronic Illness. 🙂

GIRL.
I FEEL YYEWW!!
I had dysatuonomia as well. As soon as the pollen cleared, God granted me my prayers. MY HEALTH WAS RESTORED.
Just keep fighting. All you gotta do is FIGHT. YOU FIGHT AND YOU FIGHT AND YOU FIGHT AND YOU FIGHT.
You are not alone. There are many people who have this disease…. they just don’t blog it for the world to read…. pretty brave. Many people laugh at this disease, while you, you make it known as something terrible. Soon, we will get the respect we deserve, maybe even a ribbon, and a month each year to raise awareness.
Keep it up sister. DYSATUONOMIA FO LIFE.
