"My body is sick. It always has been and always will be. 

I have a multi-systemic degenerative disorder. This means that all of my body systems (cardiac, respiratory, digestive, nerve, musculoskeletal, etc.) are impacted by my illness and it's all going to progress as I age.

After 7 years searching for a diagnosis and in the years since then, I have learned to love my body exactly as it is.

I'm a whole human, including my disability, not in spite of it."
