My Diagnosis Journey-ep26

Listen in for today’s answer from anonymous Instagram follower** : “What tv show/ movies are you currently watching?”



“You can’t just think, ‘I wanna be better,’ and POOF! You’re better.”

~ Sarah Reid


In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing my diagnosis journey - and it really was a journey! Lots of seeing specialists, traveling to different towns and different states before finally getting a diagnosis at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, 17 hours from my home.

I talk about some of these things a little bit in my intro episode but share a little bit more today. Don’t worry though, this is the “Reader’s Digest Condensed Version”! We’d need a lot more time than a short podcast episode to cover it all.

If you haven’t gotten your diagnosis yet - if you’re still in the trenches trying to figure out what the heck is wrong - I hope hearing my journey will encourage you to keep fighting for answers. Nobody wants a diagnosis but having one is vital for going forward.

If you’re trudging out a known chronic illness, I’m sure you’ll find parts of my journey that you can relate to. I hope you’ll find some comfort in knowing that you aren’t alone. And I hope you’ll find some encouragement too.

Stay strong, my spoonie friends!

** If you have a burning question you want me to answer in a future episode, feel free to dm me on my Instagram @be_potsitive!

Thanks for listening!
