Dysautonomia: A Diagnosis Journey

from The State of Health Care Podcast · host Tracy Karas

The journey of healing your body can sometimes be a long road, one in which you must advocate for yourself, and loudly. Today we are speaking with Dani, a massage therapist, who over the course of a decade has had to navigate new diagnoses and symptoms in her body, relearning the edges of what she could do, while seeking out a variety of providers and treatments to help her. In a conversation centered around resiliency, evolving, and adapting, Dani discusses living with Dysautonomia, Fibromyalgia, and Hypermobility. With an intersection of many symptoms, we hear about how she has navigated the past 10 years, both transforming her life to meet her new physical and emotional needs, while also honoring the grieving process of what was.By working with (mostly) female providers, building a community of support, advocating tirelessly for herself, journaling, using AI to help track and categorize her day-to-day responses, Dani is an inspiration in perseverance and fighting for your healthcare. Join us for an in-depth look at not only how Dani manages multiple diagnoses and symptoms, but continues to fight for the best way of life possible.Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is not a substitute for any form of professional physical health care or medical care.
