Undiagnosed for Years, Chronic Illness Support Groups, Pugs & Tutus with Rachel Vala | Episode #4 The Chronic Illness Playbook

Is it too much of a tease to say I'm going to have to have Rachel back on for a Part 2?

Meet Rachel Vala, a 25-year veteran of chronic illness, many of which were spent undiagnosed. We tried to fit everything she learned during her long tenure of being undiagnosed and the wealth of knowledge she's amassed since her diagnosis into one podcast, but there are only so many hours in the day! 

You won't want to miss her harrowing journey of searching for a diagnosis; at the time she first got sick, her syndrome didn't even have a proper name. Which makes it kinda hard to diagnose and treat, right?

Come be inspired by her resilience as she uncovers her diet, exercise, and compression wear regimens and take note of her wonderful tips about finding the right support group for you.

All that, and oh so much more on this week's The Chronic Illness Playbook!
