How long has your condition(s) played a role in your life? Feel free to share when you were diagnosed/started having symptoms/etc.?
Diagnosed in 2013. I was born with it though.

The fluctuations of my strength and independence.

Bringing awareness and education about my disability and the community through my journalism skills.

Do you have any advice for someone new to the world of chronic illness? What is one thing you wish you had known that would have made your life easier? 
Embrace it as much as you can. Things aren’t always going to be awesome, but if you have a support system and resources to help guide you through your journey, you will do great things.
