My diagnoses are Bell's palsy (recovered), Sleep apnea, ADHD, and Chrinic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (which includes orthostatic hypotension). Each has played into my unfortunate work situation to varying degrees, as have stigmas and assumptions about each.
There are reasources below for each of my illnesses, but also general health and wellness links, chronic illness links, and support resources as I find them.
BP= Bell's Palsy
CFIDS = Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome
CFS = Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
