From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. In 2023, that was me. The worst part was the specialist six hours away. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. xโ€

  • 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€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€œTo whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part: a diagnosis after seven years of being told it was stress. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.โ€
