What do you love most about the card swap?

I love the idea of encouraging others that are struggling like I am! Those with chronic/ rare illnesses often feel isolated, but the good news is that it’s not true!! We are not alone in our battles, and I love that I get to help show others that, and in turn, it helps me too!

Primary Diagnoses

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is my main, underlying condition that’s also the root cause of the rest of my diagnoses. I think the biggest comorbidity that I experience from EDS is global intestinal dysmotility leading to intestinal failure, which is definitely my primary diagnosis. Things are at the point now with my intestines that I need an intestinal transplant, which is a scary but hopeful thing!

Fun facts about you

Well, to spend the time, I love to be crafty!! I crochet, paint, and do various needle/fiber crafts! I’m always down to learn new techniques and find huge satisfaction in making something I can be proud of and give to others! Since 2020 and the COVID isolation, I found a love for sending/ making cards, and I’m huge on envelope decoration! I’m currently pursuing my BSN in nursing and absolutely love it, but I’ve had to take a break for a while as I deal with this most recent decline in my health, but I do hope and pray to return one day soon!! Hope and my faith are what keep me afloat these days, as has finding a purpose in this current season of my life, and this Warrior Card Swap has helped me do that!
