In fact, I’ve been learning about medicine firsthand for as long as I can remember.
I was born having seizures. As a young child, I broke bones and needed knee surgery. Middle and late childhood brought the onset of migraines and a few more fractures. I struggled with digestion and was often constipated.

In young adulthood, my chronic low back pain began — herniated discs, endless specialists, and trial after trial of treatments. Through college and my 20s, I battled frequent sinus infections, treated with antibiotics every single time. Migraines persisted. IBS persisted. Bones kept breaking. An early diagnosis of osteopenia joined the list.

Yes, I’m a board-certified nurse practitioner, but my deepest source of expertise? I’ve been the patient, too.
