After 25 years, I am diagnosed!
Started experiencing things at 8 years old. Periodontal issues, cardiac issues, hernia, tarlov cysts and constant stomach issues.
Over and over again, I was the problem. An 8 year old child was the problem, a teenager was the problem, a young adult was the problem.
Strange mix of emotions now we’ve finally reached this point, but I’m blessed and it doesn’t define me.
If anyone else is still searching for your answer- don’t give up and you deserve to be heard. You know your body better than anyone else. Sending you all love
