Inspirational patient stories of perseverance
to find the answers. 

Are you tired of the healthcare revolving door?

Do you feel dismissed, labeled or pigeon-holed?  

 

It's all
in your head.

You don't
look
sick!

It must
be
anxiety.

Your tests
are
NORMAL.

There's nothing wrong with you!

Have you seen doctor after doctor begging to put a name to your symptoms? 

 

How long have you been seeking answers? Months? Years?

 

Were you successful? Or are you still seeking answers?
