My Story

In July 2010 – I just turned 45 – I’m sitting in front of my TV after another long day of work. It’s almost like any other evening, except for one difference:

On top of the exhaustion that I’m familiar with by now, I feel a strange dizziness. The next few days I could not work, could not sleep. Even walk was challenge for me.

And, unlike other days where I just distract myself, today I decided to listen to my body – it’s practically screaming.

I haven’t told many people this, but this was the first time where I was actually scared for my health. I felt helpless, watching my mental and physical health decline.
