What if it’s not just stress? Seriously—have you ever had something go wrong in your body, and the first thing everyone (including you) says is, “Oh, you’re just tired, it’s probably nothing”? I’ve been there. It’s messy, frustrating, and sometimes even a little scary. That’s how my journey into the world of myasthenia gravis started. […]
Ever wake up with your hands feeling like they’re wearing invisible mittens? Or maybe your joints just don’t want to play nice anymore, creaking and aching like a rusty old hinge.

Ever have those days where something just feels… off? Like, you wake up and there’s this weird tingling—like your foot fell asleep, but it’s not going away.

Can I be honest with you for a second? Sometimes, the little things we notice in our kids—the quirks, the missed eye contact, the way they line up their toys just so—can get buried under a mountain of “Oh, that’s probably nothing.” Until, one day, it isn’t nothing anymore. Maybe you’re here because you’ve started […]
At first, I thought it was nothing. Maybe you did too — just a few quirks, some little signs, a feeling in your gut that kept coming back. You know, the kind that nags at you when you’re lying in bed at 2 a.m. wondering if you’re overthinking things, or if, maybe, you’re onto something […]
Let’s be real for a second—nobody ever dreams of googling “genetic testing for autism before pregnancy” late at night, but here you are. Maybe you’re sitting with a mug of tea, scrolling through your phone, or maybe you’re nervously tapping your fingers on the kitchen counter, wondering about the future. It’s okay. This stuff is […]
Ever had one of those moments where you’re sitting in a doctor’s office, maybe twiddling your thumbs, watching the clock, and deep down, you’re thinking, “Am I missing something here?” Maybe it’s about your child, your sibling, or even yourself. Maybe you’ve noticed little things—quirks, let’s call them—that everyone else seems to brush off. Not […]
