...See more Hello 👋🏼 I’m Rachel - 33 years old from Wisconsin and living with my husband of 4 years and our 2 fur babies. I wanted to write a little intro to connect with others that might share some commonalities with me. In May of 2020 I was diagnosed with my first chronic illness and my life has been going in a downward spiral ever since. I now have 7 diagnoses/chronic illnesses, I’ve had multiple brain surgeries, I’ve been hospitalized 12 times, I’ve been fired from 4 different jobs, and we just had to file for medical bankruptcy. My diagnoses/illnesses include: IIH, migraines, TBI, stroke, tachycardia, type 2 diabetes, liver disease/NASH, major depressive disorder, and peanut allergy/anaphylaxis. I also have a ventriculoatrial (VA) shunt that drains excess fluid from my brain down into the right atrium of my heart. Let’s connect and support each other if we share anything in common (or you just need a friend 😊)!
