My Journey

03/30/2022

I've noticed more women are posting on social media about their struggles with doctors not taking their symptoms seriously. This is where we need to become assertive when it comes to our health. Get as many opinions and tests done, especially if you are made to feel its all in your head. It most likely is not. The medical system is far from perfect and it is our right and duty to call out unfairness. Your body and your life matter. Keep fighting.

Starting from the beginning feels almost unreal at this point. I’ve been searching through my mind of memories and emotions, trying to pile them up and figure out where to begin. Everyone’s j…

Starting from the beginning feels almost unreal at this point. I’ve been searching through my mind of memories and emotions, trying to pile them up and figure out where to begin. Everyone's journey has an end and a beginning. Mine has been a massive comet that continues to crash giving me whiplash.

Thank you all so much for your support. If I can reach anyone by teaching through my experiences, this whole process is worth it to me. Going through the medical system has been one hell of a ride, and I look forward to helping as many as I possibly can to navigate through it.
