I am a Christian woman searching for purpose in the midst of a lifetime of physical illness and pain. From age 16, I experienced surgeries and illnesses that would change my life forever. I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy/cataplexy, PCOD, Hashimoto's thyroid disease, endometriosis, infertility, malignant hyperthermia, and obstructive sleep apnea. I have experienced the frustrating American system of health care, gone 15 years with a serious, misdiagnosed sleep disorder, and struggled to carve out a life and maintain relationships with those I love, all the while being misunderstood and dismissed by most of them. The good news is, I believe there are lessons learned in these times of solitude that bring me closer to the One I long to know, and bring glory to His Name as I share my struggles in order to encourage and comfort others.
