A few months ago, I unexpectedly lost my grandfather. Suddenly, I had to process my devastation, numbness, and anger. My grief looked different every day, and it was so overwhelming that I couldn’t cope.

I didn’t know where to turn. I was desperate to take a break from living in my grief, so I decided to browse Netflix and choose a show to watch.

I happened to find the 90s drama “Dawson’s Creek” and decided to start the series. The series follows aspiring film writer Dawson Leroy, and as a writer myself, I figured that if nothing else, I could probably relate to the protagonist.

Rare conditions can affect anyone, at any time, anywhere. Geographic location, economic status, education, and gender; none of these things preclude any global citizen from being affected. As a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome, POTS, breast cancer, lymphedema, and C-PTSD, I can say that rare found me. Rare is often isolating and can make an individual feel cut off and segregated from the world that surrounds them.

Attending to Your Medical Health Is Critical If You've Experienced Trauma

This past summer, I had a significant health scare. It was totally unexpected as I was, at that point, in the best shape of my life (thanks to some lifestyle changes and daily Peloton riding). I was feeling as fit and vibrant and energetic as I ever had. But still, a significant medical surprise happened to me that truly came out of left field. This medical surprise required many, many doctor’s appointments, multiple opinions, a major surgery, and weeks off from work to recover. (I’m happy to say that I’m fine now.)

Just Diagnosed With Endometriosis? Here's a 5-Step Plan to Help

So you just received an endometriosis diagnosis. First of all, I’m so relieved for you. I know full well how long you have been in pain, how often you have been dismissed, and how frequently you have been disbelieved to get here. I know how many pain charts you had to look at and how they never accurately represented what you were experiencing. I know how many different specialists you have likely seen to rule out a million other possible diagnoses. I know how many different medications you have had thrown at you to manage your symptoms, which probably didn’t help and came with a host of side effects to exacerbate an already untenable lifestyle. I know how many days you’ve probably had to call in sick to work or tell your friends you couldn’t hang with them. And I know the sheer frustration and desperation you experienced alone, in the silence of your thoughts, wondering if you were ever going to get any relief from your condition.
