From people who came through it

  • โ€œI think I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. My nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number. 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€

  • 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€

    Jess from Melbourne ยท been through chronic illness
  • 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€
