Bridging the gap in everyday support

Chronic illness is constant, so why isn’t care as well?

This was the question I asked myself after getting diagnosed with POTS. I was sent home from the hospital with a pamphlet about the condition and an appointment in six weeks with a new doctor I had no contact with.

My life was completely flipped upside down. In a week, I went from running a half marathon to being wheelchair bound. I was scared, overwhelmed, and had no idea how to live with POTS.

I moved back with my parents and connected with other patients for support. I continually struggled with learning the limits of my condition. Over time, I patch-worked my own expertise on daily life with POTS and helped other patients through their journeys.

It should not take years to know how to live with a condition, find resources, and manage daily life, so I am committed to making a better solution for people living with chronic illness. I believe that with the support for their everyday needs people will be able to quickly get back on their feet, prevent flare ups, and live a more fulfilling life with chronic illness.
