My disease has caused me to be chronically medically fragile and severely disabled. I struggle with seizures due to my epilepsy and I also have irritable bowel syndrome, dysphagia, autism, speech and language disabilities and more. I have been unable to attend school full time or have strong relationships with friends.
I advocate to raise awareness for everyone who is learning how to navigate life with multiple chronic medical conditions and disabilities. Everyone deserves to have a strong support system in their journey.
