“As a veterinarian and someone who has battled a chronic illness, I have always enjoyed medical mystery shows, podcasts, etc. I liked the show immediately, but when I listened to the fourth episode about Shelby’s story, my jaw was on the floor. She was literally describing my exact experience with debilitating chronic fatigue (even down to the same initial “trigger”). I had pursued a diagnosis for years, but after normal blood tests, inconclusive sleep studies, and countless doctors telling me that my symptoms were “probably psychological,” I felt hopeless and thought that I was destined to be exhausted for the rest of my life. While I am still waiting for an official diagnosis, implementing the basic non-pharmaceutical treatments for POTS (increasing salt/water intake, using compression stockings, etc.) has helped me so much that I was able to stop taking prescription stimulants to stay awake. While I obviously relate very personally to this particular episode, every episode does a great job of conveying the seriousness of the medical ailment while still maintaining a sense of hope and positivity for other individuals battling with similar symptoms.”
