Q and A: Chronic Illness Version

Curious about the tea of my chronic illness? We just recently got a few official diagnoses and are heavily anticipating a larger one that will tie everything together!So far: dysautonomia, white matter brain damage and neurocognitive disorders, POTS, and likely Ehlors-Danlos Syndrome.

So, what would you like to know?

How hard was it to get proper diagnosis? Did it take years or was it a relatively short process? How many doctors did it take for someone to take you seriously?

The image features the title "Positive Chronic illness Quotes" with two cartoon frogs on a green, grassy background with flowers. The date "15 AUG." is visible, along with a yellow arrow and white sparkles, indicating a collection of uplifting messages.

A light pink background displays the quote: "When you are resting because you are worn out, you need to remember that you are not wasting the day doing nothing. You are doing exactly what you need to do. You are recovering." A small heart and kiss mark are also present.

On a dark grey textured background, the quote reads: "Sometimes all you can do is smile. Move on with your day, hold back the tears and pretend you're okay." A cartoon figure meditating with clouds is in the corner.
