Episode 2: Unnamed Diagnosis, My Lung Story with Pre & Post-Op Life

from Uncharted Bodies · host Nikki K.

Content note and Trigger Warning: medical trauma, chronic illness, grief.In Episode 2, Nikki goes deep into the story she's carried for nearly a decade — recurrent, rare, unknown, lung collapses beginning at 18, a 103-day stay at Mayo Clinic, and a rare surgery involving titanium staples and talc powder that saved her life but left more questions than answers. She also opens up about the 2023 COVID, the third infection that triggered a cascade of new diagnoses — EDS Hypermobility, POTS, and MCAS — and what it means to watch your life change in six months. Raw, unfiltered, and real. Background Song/Music Credit: Pixabay website - Artist: prettyjohn1 - Song: "No Copyright Music"
