Mortal and Strong - Voice No. 97 - Holly

Welcome back to the Mortal and Strong podcast! In this episode, Dr Liz is joined by the wonderful soul that is Holly. Holly shares her story of chronic health issues, beginning all the way in childhood when her chronic pain first set in. Holly talks frankly about her Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), hyper-mobility, Atrial Fibrillation (AF), and cluster headaches. She candidly shares what it's truly like living with these conditions, while also managing to remain hopeful, positive and finding continuous joy in the every day!Holly also tells of her heart wrenching experience of Meningitis; from the very first symptoms, the long wait to be diagnosed, all the way up to now... 5 years on. She shares her raw insight into experiencing this major brain infection, and importantly shares how an illness like Meningitis doesn't end when you leave the hospital. Holly discusses life after meningitis, recovery, and tells Dr Liz of how she is a completely different person than she was before. Holly is a perfect example of what it means to be Mortal and Strong, and we are so thankful to her for being another wonderful Voice for our Scars of Gold campaign!Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign sharing the voices of 100 women facing their mortality at a young age with life changing or incurable health conditions.
