Chronically ill patients...
I’ve been exactly where you are: sick and tired of being sick and tired. Dismissed like yesterday’s leftovers. Tossed into the “your labs are fine” bucket (translation: they don’t know what the heck is going on). You’ve racked up more appointments than you can count, and still, you’re left feeling like no one’s actually listening.
Or maybe the plot twist has already hit: an unexpected diagnosis that happened faster than my hair turned gray. One minute, the doctor is talking, and the next, you’re holding a prescription you can’t pronounce from an appointment that lasted a hot minute. You walk out dazed, doomed to spend the next weeks in an internet rabbit hole, where you’ll end up more confused (and worried) than when you started.
Sound familiar? That’s where I come in. Welcome! I’m Kristina—chronic illness veteran (Sjogren's, dysautonomia, MCAS, & myasthenia gravis), board certified patient advocate, and your potential partner in this medical soap opera we call life.
I help chronic illness patients go from dismissed to empowered to help get the care they deserve.
