From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Lupus flares that come with no warning, every single day. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back.โ€

  • โ€œHey. I know it feels like no one believes you. Iโ€™ve been there. Keep pushing for answers. It took me years to get diagnosed with POTS. Write down your symptoms, take someone with you to appointments. And itโ€™s okay if all you do today is feed yourself and your dog. That counts. Youโ€™re not lazy. Youโ€™re sick. I still struggle, but Iโ€™ve found a few things that help. Donโ€™t give up.โ€

  • โ€œI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. Ask for a copy of eveyr letter and result. I keep them all in one folder. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. POTS and fainting in the queue at the shop. That was my life. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
