Part 1: My Chronic Illness Diagnostic Journey

This week, I’m taking you back to the beginning of my chronic illness story. It started with extreme fatigue and rashes after just a short time in the sun. I was miserable for days… but I never fully recovered.

What followed was months of appointments with infectious disease, neurology, and rheumatology. My labs showed mild inflammatory markers, but nothing conclusive—until I was eventually diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease, ME/CFS, and small fiber neuropathy.

When I had to complete an assessment to return to work, it was so clear to me that I wasn’t ready. But without a full picture of what was going on, I pushed through—and eventually gave up on finding more answers.

After moving to Colorado, I started over. I had spine surgery, changed my diet, and found my new “baseline.”

Come back for Part 2 next week, where I pick up in January 2024—when a water leak triggered a year-and-a-half health spiral that changed everything.
