"when I got diagnosed, I was probably in the \u201cbest shape\u201d of my life. I was at the gym almost every day & eating a well-balanced diet. In fact, this led doctors to continually assert that I \u201cwas fine\u201d and attribute my symptoms to my imagination or stress.

(Dear Drs. everywhere, please change \u201cthere\u2019s nothing wrong!\u201d to \u201cI couldn\u2019t find what is wrong\u201d)

as many people know, I was diagnosed shortly thereafter with a rare brain disease. Though I\u2019ve had treatments in the past, there is no cure. The diagnosis changed my life, and unlike some people with disabilities, you really wouldn\u2019t know from looking at me.

I hope stories like mine raise more awareness around disabilities, and challenge how people think of individuals who live with disabilities.

Sick people deserve to pursue joy & not be held down by a narrative that society holds about what being sick is supposed to look like."
