Happy Tuesday! Welcome to That’s So Chronic. Today’s episode is with Olivia, who shares her journey navigating symptoms and trying to find a diagnosis. Olivia has been diagnosed with ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) but refers to that as a blanket diagnosis that doesn’t really explain the full picture.
In this episode Olivia talks us through her symptoms that started about a year ago, how her medical team arrived at the diagnosis of ME/CFS, how she feels when she gets told she isn’t “bad enough” to warrant further testing, how she manages university study including the importance of lecture recordings, and we learn about her love for grocery shopping!
As always, feel free to reach out over on Instagram or Tiktok, I’m @thatssochronic
And thanks for listening! You’re the best!
