Life with any chronic illness is a lonely struggle. I don’t have to tell you that. That’s why I’m here. I want you to know that you are NOT alone. I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported. Here, we’re in it together. Here, you have someone who understands. Here, I remind you that you are part of a Team… and by supporting one another and collaborating together, we can do more than survive. We can thrive.
