The Intersection of Motherhood and Chronic Illness, Feat. aHUS Patient Advocate Taylor Coffman

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome, also known as aHUS -- a rare disorder characterized by low levels of blood platelets and blood clotting in the small blood vessels of the body. We're joined by Taylor Coffman, whose diagnosis with aHUS during pregnancy inspired her to work as a patient advocate helping those with life-changing diagnoses to process their new reality. Topics Discussed: adapting to a new chronic illness, the intersection of disability and motherhood, learning to be a patient and more.
