From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was in the same place eighteen months ago. The worst part was explaining an invisible illness to my manager. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.โ€

  • 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€

    Sophia from Tacoma K ยท been through chronic illness
  • โ€œHi, you. I was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was infusions every eight weeks. I've started painting again. Hang on.โ€

    Rajesh Tj ยท been through chronic illness
  • 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€
